Identify and populate a listbox

Question

It\'s a riddle for me: what is the syntax to populate a listbox? But first: how do you identify a listbox? In many forums I read: ListBox1.Additem... But how do

Answer 1

ListBox1.AddItem is for loading a single column ListBox (CodyGrey's answer covers that).

If you are using a multi column ListBox (property .ColumnCount > 1), then you need to load an Array into .List. The following snippet loads 3 rows into a 2 column ListBox

Dim dat(0 To 2, 0 To 1) As Variant

dat(0, 0) = "A"
dat(0, 1) = "B"
dat(1, 0) = "C"
dat(1, 1) = "D"
dat(2, 0) = "E"
dat(2, 1) = "F"

ListBox1.List = dat

Accessing the List Box: (this will vary for different versions of Word, this is for 2003)

To access the ListBox properties:

1. Display the "Control Toolbox" toolbar
2. Go To Design Mode
3. Click the control, and select Properties on the "Control Toolbox"
4. The Name property should now be visible and editable
5. Other properties, such as ColumnCount etc can also be set
