ListView vs. List Box

[sasa888]

What is the difference between ListView and regular list box?

Look at it this way: the Windows desktop is basically a ListView...

strongm, should I use this if I have multi columns to be display on the list box? or I can still just use the regular list box?

I find the multicolumn mode of the basic Listbox somewhat primitive and limiting. My personal preference would therefore be to use the listview.

strongm, if I have more than 1 column with the listview, how do I put tabs between fields?

Listview is an excellent choice for multiple columns. The listbox is limited on its multiple columns in that it populates the next column after the first column is fully populated.

You define columns in the listview by getting to the property page of the object and insert columns, set the width, etc. Make sure you set the view to lvwReport.
