Make A Listbox Look More Appealing?
Jan 6, 2010
I would like to display over 20 items in a listbox under about 10 headings. As you can imagine, with the varying lengths of each cell, this looks pretty messy. For example, if a name is long, it takes both the space under the name heading and the number heading.
How can I avoid that while still use listboxes, and NOT DataGridview! I'm having an awful amount of trouble with Grids!! I would like something simple yet neat.. Can't I have columns or dividers in listboxes?

I'm currently working on my (business) master's thesis... the topic is capital budgeting tools to manage major investments for a European energy supplier.So far the company has used MS Excel for calculating relevant data to make decisions on whether to invest money in new projects or abandon them. There usually is a host of input data, lots of basic calculations and just two or three outputs (such as Net Present Value, Return on Investment etc) .It is my task to develop a new excel template or decide on buying a completely new software license, if excel proves unable to provide the functionality the company needs.
So far I have only very limited programming knowledge, stretching to Java basics, some HTML code and SQL Databases.However, a colleague hinted at the fact that the VB.net programming language can be easily learned and used to improve excel considerably. Ideally I would need excel to be able to:
- make sure people putting data into our template don't mess with it
- be able to communicate with a database
- have an appealing, structured and neat appearance for ease of usage by people with limited IT abilities
- provide all output, including sensitivity analysis charts, in a structured, printable overview

If I set a ListBox.Height = ListBox.PreferredHeight when the control is hidden and IntegralHeight = True, then set it visible:
a) Actual Height reduces by typically 3-5 pixels after redraw (but not 1 pixel per item).
b) PreferredHeight does not not appear to give the correct integral of item heights.
Is there a way to make ListBox calculate the correct integral Height before the ListBox is made visible, so it can be correctly pre-positioned from bottom edge?
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
ListBox1.Visible = False
ListBox1.IntegralHeight = True

This has been irritating me for a good 2 hours now. I'm creating a simple application that takes each line in a listbox and creates a directory for each line. This seems so simple, but it's really annoying me. Once again, (just in case the above was confusing) I want to take ALL lines (each individual one) and create directories (folders) for each individual line in the listbox.

I'm new to VB and I'm learning, but I have this program I need to finish by Wensday, and I'm having a problem with it.The form contains a Button and a Listbox. Also I had to make a text file with 5 names and those 5 people have 5 grades a piece. The program should calculate the data from the text file and provide the Listbox with the following"In zone format, the students name, each five grades, the final grade average and a Final letter grade."Example:
Student Name G1 G2 G3 G4 G5 AVG GRADE
Caca Crispy 100 80 92 90 100 92 A-
Epic Fail 65 62 80 90 100 79 C+

I am designing a degree audit program for school, and have a listbox where all the classes needed are contained. I have a separate form for each year (Freshman, sophomore, etc.), which also contain listboxes which are empty. The idea is to add the selected class from the first listbox into the empty listbox in the appropriate year form. However, to do this I would like to have the same listbox (the first one with all the classes) appear on each form, but still reflect changes made to it from other listboxes (classes transferred out of it).
To do this, would I need to create a listbox with global properties? Or would it be better to create a global function containing all the classes and have its contents called to the appropriate listbox?

I was hoping to find out how to make a list box only, so you can choose whats currently in the selection but you cant type / modify it but, only read and select.

In my listbox I get a collection of strings in this format:02406L101G0,967S or 12010C2100,978U. I should get this list on a regulated manner.haracters in the seventh,eighth and ninth place (from left side) always make the numbers eg: 101 or 210. Is there a possibility to edit the list of strings (in listbox or a listview) in accordance with the number obtained as a substring (7, 8 and 9 character)?
