    Multicolumn List Boxes

    Hi,

    I have a multicolumn list box that I'd like to add columns to and different things to those columns. However, I can't find any info on how to do so, MSDN doesn't even say anything. Can anyone give me some info on how to use these? I found this code on a forum from a long time ago but I have no idea what all of the variables are:
    Code:
    HWND hView = GetDlgItem(hwnd, IDC_MAINLIST);
    GetClientRect(hView,&ClientRect);
    iWidth=(ClientRect.right-ClientRect.left)/NUM_COLUMNS;
    LVColumn.mask = LVCF_FMT | LVCF_WIDTH | LVCF_TEXT ; 
    LVColumn.fmt = LVCFMT_LEFT;
    LVColumn.cx=iWidth;
    LVColumn.pszText = "Column Title"; 
    LVColumn.cchTextMax = lstrlen("Column Title"); 
    LVColumn.iSubItem = 0; 		
    LVColumn.iImage = 0; 		
    LVColumn.iOrder = 0; 		
    ListView_InsertColumn(hView,0,&LVColumn);
    Can anyone help? Thanks.

    That code is for a listview. It is a different control than a listbox.

    Oh, ok. Thanks. Should I use that instead for my project?

    Ok, found info on MSDN, should be enough, thanks.

    A listview is 'mostly' a listbox with a different set of 'styles' (ie multi columns).
