TextColumn Property Example

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 Label.

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 Declarations portion of a form. Make sure that the form contains:

• A ListBox named ListBox1.
• A TextBox named TextBox1.

Private Sub UserForm_Initialize() 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 Private Sub ListBox1_Change() TextBox1.Text = ListBox1.Text End Sub
