I have been trying to make a multi-column list box which will fill with data from a database. The default listbox control in VB6 only has one column, is there property or a similar control that I can use?

Two strings walk into a bar. The first string says to the bartender: 'Bartender, I'll have a beer. u.5n$x5t?*&4ru!2[sACC~ErJ'. The second string says: 'Pardon my friend, he isn't NULL terminated'.

Guys,
I would like to express my humble opinion...
I know that everybody's happy here, but wasn't the original question about the good old, simple and primitive ListBox control? Why did everybody start talking about the ListView?
The ListBox control has a Columns property that may be set to a number other than 0 (the default) for the display of multiple columns. I've been using the Columns property of the ListBox for a coupole of years now and it works beautifully. I get a nice list with as many columns as I want.
Maybe there's a specific reason why people don't use the ListBox control with multiple columns. Or perhaps it was just that the control was overlooked here. In either case, I would like to know why the ListBox wasn't even mentioned... Can someone say something?
Thanks!
JC

ListView is a more powerful (and nicer looking) alternative to ListBox. I think
