Hey John, I'm not able to replicate all of the issues you mention with a collection based listbox. To test I made a form and added a collection based listbox with two columns. To open it I made a method, created a collection with 10 elements comprised of objects and had the listbox displace the data. I added a button, selected a row and ran the following code:
*LISTBOX GET CELL POSITION*(*;"listBox";$column;$row) $ptr:=*OBJECT Get pointer*(Object named;"listBox") *LISTBOX SELECT ROW*($ptr->;2) *LISTBOX SELECT ROW*(*;"listBox";2) *ARRAY BOOLEAN*($aVisible;0) *ARRAY POINTER*($aColVars;0) *ARRAY POINTER*($aHeaderVars;0) *ARRAY POINTER*($aStyles;0) *ARRAY TEXT*($aColNames;0) *ARRAY TEXT*($aHeaderNames;0) *LISTBOX GET ARRAYS*(*;"listBox";$aColNames;$aHeaderNames;$aColVars; $aHeaderVars;$aVisible;$aStyles) *OBJECT GET COORDINATES*(*;"listBox";$left;$top;$right;$bottom) Everything worked as expected. $aColVars contains all null values but that's expected because there are no arrays. The column names and other vars populated correctly. The listbox correctly fired an On column moved event and *LISTBOX MOVED COLUMN NUMBER*(*;"listBox";$pos1;$pos2) correctly populated. I didn't try OBJECT MOVE. Perhaps the code you tested was using a pointer to the boolean array of the array listbox? If you modify your code, just to test, to use the object name instead of the pointer do you still get the unexpected results?
