(dcl_ListBox_AddList Std_GridTest_ListBox1 '("A" "B"))
(dcl_ListBox_AddString Std_GridTest_ListBox1 '("A" "B"))
(dcl_ListBox_AddList Std_GridTest_ListBox1 "A" "B")
(dcl_ListBox_AddString Std_GridTest_ListBox1 "A" "B")

The above adds 8 rows. Multi Column checked true in design

Will a list box display two columns as addressable data like list view?

Checking the web, I read where there is no such thing as a multi-column list box.

In a listbox, you use tab characters in your item text to align at the next column.

How does one control the number of spaces in a tab?

Hi, Jim, I think there are normally 8 chars for each tab. In my opinion Microsoft controls that. Don't know where it could be changed.
