i use myreader to get the data, and I want to display in the listbox .
myReader.item("productname) & " - " & myReader.item("color")
Some product name got 15 chars , some is 25 chars.
How can I display it in fixed lenght. e.g 30 chars ?
I want my data display like
TOYS                RED
TELEPPHONE  BLUE
.......                    RED
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
FIXED COLUMN.
I CANNOT USE DATAGRID, BECUASE, i NEED TO SELECT FROM 5 different tables.
That's why I use Listbox.
thanks  a  lot.

Hi,

        I think a listview with it view set to details would be a better
choice because it has columns.
