I tried once an gave up. I don't remember why, though.
Why not use a report-style ListView with no column headers?

Check out the listtabs.exw demo which has shipped with win32lib for a long time,
and see if it works for you. ListViews have advanced caps way beyond those of
lists,, and are usually slightly bulkier to handle as a result. It all depends on
what you want to achieve.

Hmmm, that might work also. I'll look at it.

What I need to do is to highlight/click/arrow to an item and select it by
dclick or enter on the item. The list can be long and a 3 or 4 col list seems
to be a better approach.
5. RE: multi line list box
OK, it seems the listbox with LVS_MULTICOLULMN will work for me, however, I
do not know, nor can I find how to reset the column width as I need. It
defaults to 12 characters (or so many pixels) and I need to reset it larger.
Here's what I'm using
constant idListControl = create(List,"",Main,4,cy*22,sw-15,cy*8-bh-sbHeight[2]
,LBS_MULTICOLUMN)
Does anyone know how to send a message to this control and change the col
width? Or where do I find the doc that tells me how to do it? BTW I'm using
win32lib 59.1... perhaps old but it works great for my stuff.

George:
You can send a message to set the width.
LB_SETCOLUMNWIDTH
An application sends an LB_SETCOLUMNWIDTH message to a multiple-column list box
(created with the LBS_MULTICOLUMN style) to set the width, in pixels, of all
columns in the list box.
LB_SETCOLUMNWIDTH
wParam = (WPARAM) cxColumn; // column width in pixels
lParam = 0; // not used; must be zero
Parameters
cxColumn
Value of wParam. Specifies the width, in pixels, of all columns.
Return Values
This message does not return a value.

Bernie, where did you find this doc. LB_SETCOLUMNWIDTH does not seem to be
in win32lib 59.1. What version did you find this?

George:
From my MSDN CD; the constant definition is in winuser.h header file.
The value of the constant LB_SETCOLUMNWIDTH = #195

9. RE: multi line list box
Ok, google found what I needed. I found that LB_SETCOLUMNWIDTH =#195 and I
added that to win32lib version I had and it now works as I need.
Thanks for the help.
10. RE: multi line list box
Thanks for the help. Works like a charm.
