Addinga checkbox to a listbox 1

[VBFOXDEV35]

Good morning all. I have a general question regarding listboxes. I would like to add a checkbox to my listbox for selecting field(s). My goal is to have a form similiar to the MS Access DB wizard form. Where they have the list of tables in the left listbox, and a list of available fields in the right listbox where you can select the checkbox to include the field. Any ideas would be appreciated.

Thanks

Hi Arty,

A listbox isn't a container class and thus can't (natively) contain other controls, like checkboxes. What you're wanting to do can be done directly with a grid.

Hi Arty,

Jim's comments IRT the listbox control not being a container are dead-on. However, you can simulate this functionality by toggling the picture property of the list for each list item. See the following for better illustration:

Jon, thanks for the link. This will help in trying to accomplish this.
Jim, thanks for the insight as well. At times I wish Foxpro was like VB but you know that is Uncle Bill for ya.

Thanks again fellas!!
