How do you change the column width of a multi-line list box? Right now,
they are about TWICE as wide as the data they are holding, and really look
shoddy.

Any help would be appreciated.

Make that multi-column!

I don't believe that property can be changed, however, you may consider
using an MSFlexGrid control instead. You can make it to look identical to
the "multi-columned' list box, and also have complete control over column
width. Be aware: The MSFlexGrid ColWidth property is only visibly changable
at runtime.

I need the checkboxes of the listbox. Is this possible with this control?

Hi Mike,

you can send a message to the ListBox to change the column width:

Const LB_SETCOLUMNWIDTH = &H195

Declare Function SendMessage Lib "user32" Alias "SendMessageA" (ByVal hwnd
As Long, ByVal wMsg As Long, ByVal wParam As Long, lParam As Long) As Long

dim ColWidth as byte

SendMessage List1.hwnd, LB_SETCOLUMNWIDTH, ColWidth, 0

Hope tius helps...
