My form will move items from list 1 to list 2 and vice versa and ultimately doing some some table updates appropriately from the lists. I am ok with the update but not sure how to approach managing the lists. My lists 1 and 2 each have fields that I am not displaying but keeping up with behind the scenes. From my VB world I might create an array of a structure(4 fields) and build a list1 array and a list2 array and manage 2 list boxes for the form. Not sure if there is really a better way with RB. Not completely familiar with the listbox either to know if I can add columns that are hidden or not - would it make sense to manage this way as opposed to the double work of the array and list. OR...is there some magical control that will help work some magic? Hoping my question is general enough. Still trying to learn RB as I go but keep my project simple too. Thanks for any advice. --Mickey Top timhare Post subject: Re: Advice on how to approach managing 2 lists of dataPosted: Wed Mar 09, 2011 12:03 am Joined: Fri Jan 06, 2006 3:21 pm Posts: 9407 Location: Portland, OR USA You can use all 64 columns that a listbox supports. Only the first ColumnCount of them are displayed. The rest are "hidden".
