Add items in listbox

[ionutdinulescu]

I have a listbox with 3 columns. I can only call AddItem to fill the first column. How can I fill the others two ?
I tried with the Column property but it doesn't work (seems that it can be used only for getting values).

Use a semi-colon separated item.

Hope This Helps, PH.

I'm assuming you're using a valueList for the listbox...

the rowsource is just a delimited string, which gets devided by the number of columns to determine which is in what column...

so just add "val1" & ";" & "val2" ...

I tend to use ; as delimiter, but , will do as well...

Works fine. Now I would like to have an extra (hidden) column that holds an id. I set the columns number property on 3 but I add 4 columns. This turned out not to work. Do you have other solution instead of using an external array that hold the id's ?

 

[Crowley16]

you can explicitly set the width of every column in your list box, just set the hidden column to have a width of 0cm

columnWidth property, 0cm;1cm;1cm...
