MutliColumn Listbox

How on earth do you added data to the different columns of a multi column Listbox?

Any example would help as I can't find any anywhere

A multi column list box has no vertical scroll bar.

When a new item is added which would normally cause a vertical scroll bar to appear, it is instead inserted into a new column to the right.

Try this : it's from MSDN and demonstrates the behaviour very well.

Code:

---

  // Add items to the ListBox.
  for (int x = 0; x < 50; x++)
  {
      listBox1.Items.Add(string.Format("Items {0}", x));
  }

  // Display items in columns.
  listBox1.MultiColumn = true;

  // Determine the width of the items in the list to get the best column width setting.
  int width = (int) listBox1.CreateGraphics().MeasureString(
      listBox1.Items[listBox1.Items.Count -1].ToString(),
      listBox1.Font).Width;

  // Set the column width based on the width of each item in the list.
  listBox1.ColumnWidth = width;

---

If you don't want behaviour like this then use a ListView in report mode instead.
