Thanks, I did not know that tis control exited. Thanks for the heads up on the tech note. I'll read up on it. Sounds like what I might need to use in the long run.
Is this list view one of the icons on the IDE? I don't remember seeing it.

So I posted a working sample I had but it clearly doesn't help you much. Slowing down and READING your original question I see you are trying to display columns in a ListBox, an entirely different matter. One alternative is to use a ListView control in "Report View." http://www.nsbasic.com/desktop/info/technotes/TN12.htm This gets you columns with optional column headers. However it sounds as if you have the matter sorted out for now, despite some problems. Testing the same thing myself though (a simple ListBox with Font set to Courier New) it is working without having to set the Font in code. One thing I have noticed is that the IDE can often be a little glitchy when setting properties in the Properties Window. For example when I tried to set a ListBox's Font to "Courier New" I saw that it actually got set to "Courier" (a font face that doesn't exist in Windows Mobile). I had to try again and then I got it to set properly. The FontName dropdown played "jumpy-jump" and did not pick the FontName I clicked on the first time. This happens a lot. NSB/CE Version 8.1.2a here. Good luck, Bob --- In nsbasic-ce@yahoogroups.com, "George Walters" <gwalt...@...> wrote: > > Thanks, for this code.
