Hello -

I'm upgrading an app from MS Access to VB 6.  I have used a List Box in
Access that has columns and column widths.

Is there some equivalent control in VB 6?  I've tried various Listboxes I
found in VB 6, but none of them have the column width property.

Any help will be greatly appreciated!

A ListView or a grid control might be a workable replacement.

You can find the ListView Bob mentioned by selecting Project/Components,
scrolling down to 'Microsoft Windows Common Controls 6' and placing a check
in the box. You'll have to package this component with your app when you
deploy it. To get an idea of what it looks like, open Windows Explorer. The
side that shows the files and has column headers that say "Name", "Size",
"Type", etc.... that's a ListView (actually a SysListView32 but it
looks/acts the same)

There's quite a bit of difference in syntax when compared to a ListBox but
once you get the hang of it, it's a breeze.
'========
Private Sub Form_Load()
   Dim i As Integer

   With ListView1
      .View = lvwReport '<-- for ListBox look/feel
      .ColumnHeaders.Add , , "Item" 'Must have headers
      .ColumnHeaders.Add , , "SubItem"
      'Even though there has to be headers for each column
      'it doesn't mean you have to see them...
      'Uncomment the line below to hide the headers if you want
      '.HideColumnHeaders = True
      For i = 1 To 10

         With .ListItems.Add 'first column is a ListItem
            .Text = "Item " & i

            With .ListSubItems.Add 'all other colums are ListSubItems
               .Text = "SubItem " & i
            End With

         End With

      Next

      'You can select one using syntax similar to....
      Set .SelectedItem = .ListItems(10)

   End With

End Sub

You can set tabstops within an ordinary Listbox.  Check out the CoolTabs
