ListBox control, BoundColumn, ControlSource, RowSource properties example

The following example uses a range of worksheet cells in a ListBox and, when the user selects a row from the list, displays the row index in another worksheet cell. This code sample uses the RowSource, BoundColumn, and ControlSource properties.

To use this example:

• Copy this sample code to the Declarations portion of a form.
• Make sure that the form contains a ListBox named ListBox1.
• In the worksheet, enter data in cells A1:E4.
• Make sure cell A6 contains no data.

Private Sub UserForm_Initialize() 
 
ListBox1.ColumnCount = 5 
ListBox1.RowSource = "a1:e4" 
 
ListBox1.ControlSource = "a6" 
'Place the ListIndex into cell a6 
ListBox1.BoundColumn = 0 
End Sub
