How to: Specify the Column in a Multi-Column List Box to Display to the User

The following example uses the TextColumn property to identify the column of data in a ListBox that supplies data for its Text property. This example sets the third column of the ListBox as the text column. As you select an entry from the ListBox, the value from the TextColumn will be displayed in the TextBox.

This example also demonstrates how to load a multicolumn ListBox using the AddItem method and the List property.

To use this example, copy this sample code to the Script Editor of a form. To run the code you need to open the form so the Open event will activate. Make sure that the form contains:

  • A ListBox named ListBox1.

  • A TextBox named TextBox1.

Dim ListBox1 
Dim TextBox1 
 
Sub Item_Open() 
 Set ListBox1 = Item.GetInspector.ModifiedFormPages.Item("P.2").Controls("ListBox1") 
 Set TextBox1 = Item.GetInspector.ModifiedFormPages.Item("P.2").Controls("TextBox1") 
 
 ListBox1.ColumnCount = 3 
 
 ListBox1.AddItem "Row 1, Col 1" 
 ListBox1.List(0, 1) = "Row 1, Col 2" 
 ListBox1.List(0, 2) = "Row 1, Col 3" 
 
 ListBox1.AddItem "Row 2, Col 1" 
 ListBox1.List(1, 1) = "Row 2, Col 2" 
 ListBox1.List(1, 2) = "Row 2, Col 3" 
 
 ListBox1.AddItem "Row 3, Col 1" 
 ListBox1.List(2, 1) = "Row 3, Col 2" 
 ListBox1.List(2, 2) = "Row 3, Col 3" 
 
 ListBox1.TextColumn = 3 
 
End Sub 
 
Sub ListBox1_Click() 
 TextBox1.Text = ListBox1.Text 
End Sub
