listbox is not really multi column.
it will display that way only when the 'list' is full.
"Columns Property (ListBox)
Returns or sets a value that determines whether a ListBox control  scrolls vertically or horizontally and how the items in the columns are  displayed. If it scrolls horizontally, the Columns property determines  how many columns are displayed.
Setting Description  
0 (Default) Items are arranged in a single column and the  ListBox scrolls vertically.
 1 to n..... Items are arranged in snaking columns, filling the first column,  then the second column, and so on. The ListBox scrolls horizontally and  displays the specified number of columns.
"


how is your data populated into the listbox ?  you can use arithmatic to get pseudo-columns out.

is there data in the itemdata property or do you want to sum the list values ?

 

by: awolarczukPosted on 2009-09-15 at 13:09:06ID: 25338823

Rob
I need the sum of the list value
There are 4 column 2 of which are number and i need to add the numbers in each on the fly so when a new one i entered it will add up

 

by: robberbaronPosted on 2009-09-16 at 04:23:30ID: 25344221

sorry. was confused with ListBox for a while.

attached test code does what you want. it loops through all the listitems, summing the values of the selected subitems

BUT.  there is no event for Add or Change to the list view so you must call the Update_Totals routine after any add operation or at the end of a series of adds.

hope this helps.

it's confusing but this is the vb5/6 TA.

i think for vb2008, the property is just  .Items
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.listview.listviewitemcollection.aspx

ie Form1.invoicelist.items(i)

refer the example
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.listview.selectedindexcollection.aspx

price += Double.Parse(Me.ListView1.Items(index).SubItems(1).Text)




 

by: awolarczukPosted on 2009-10-26 at 03:38:36ID: 31624919

the advise i got was not for vb2008 it was for vb6, i did ask for 2008 and had to find it out at another location
