Listbox ColumnsI'm having a really stupid problem with listboxes I have dropped a listbox on a form and I want to configure the columns I just want a single column, but it seems that another blank one is created by default to the right hand side If I set the list box as width 150 and add a column LSTProcessList.Columns.Add(New ColumnHeader) LSTProcessList.Columns(0).Text = "Ref1" LSTProcessList.Columns(0).Width = 150 Then I can grab the top of the column called Ref1, move it to the left and there is a blank one to the right. Is there any way that I can have one single column that scrolls up and down, but not left and right. thanks Andy AAJ,
A listbox has only one vertical column or one vertical row (multicolomn). Is that the problem? I hope this helps, Cor Hi Andy,
Listboxes in vb .net do not have a columns.add method. Is this a custom listbox? A listview?

exactly, you can do this as follows intLVWWidth = 0 <--- this will be the final width we want the listview to be once we size the columns to the data. for i = 0 to lstView.Columns.Count - 1 lstView.Columns(i).Width = -2 <--- this forces col to fit data intLVWWidth += lstView.Columns(i).Width next intLVWWidth += SystemInformation.Border3DSize.Width * 2 + SystemInformation.VerticalScrollBarWidth lstView.Width = intLVWWidth This will eliminate the space on the right and fit every thing perfectly. A refinement is to be sure that the column heading is not larger than any of the data. To do this, in the loop, you can look at the lstView.Columns(i).Width = -1 value. That sizes the column to the header. If it is greater than the data width, then use it. Thanks goes to someone on this NG for sharing this with me. I thought it was neat. Hope it is what you are looking for.
