ListBox control, BoundColumn property example

The following example demonstrates how the BoundColumn property influences the value of a ListBox. The user can choose to set the value of the ListBox to the index value of the specified row, or to a specified column of data in the ListBox.

To use this example, copy this sample code to the Declarations portion of a form. Make sure that the form contains:

• A ListBox named ListBox1.
• A Label named Label1.
• Three OptionButton controls named OptionButton1, OptionButton2, and OptionButton3.

Private Sub UserForm_Initialize() 
 ListBox1.ColumnCount = 2 
 
 ListBox1.AddItem "Item 1, Column 1" 
 ListBox1.List(0, 1) = "Item 1, Column 2" 
 ListBox1.AddItem "Item 2, Column 1" 
 ListBox1.List(1, 1) = "Item 2, Column 2" 
 
 ListBox1.Value = "Item 1, Column 1" 
 
 OptionButton1.Caption = "List Index" 
 OptionButton2.Caption = "Column 1" 
 OptionButton3.Caption = "Column 2" 
 OptionButton2.Value = True 
End Sub 
 
Private Sub OptionButton1_Click() 
 ListBox1.BoundColumn = 0 
 Label1.Caption = ListBox1.Value 
End Sub 
 
Private Sub OptionButton2_Click() 
 ListBox1.BoundColumn = 1 
 Label1.Caption = ListBox1.Value 
End Sub 
 
Private Sub OptionButton3_Click() 
 ListBox1.BoundColumn = 2 
 Label1.Caption = ListBox1.Value 
End Sub 
 
Private Sub ListBox1_Click() 
 Label1.Caption = ListBox1.Value 
End Sub
