I wasn't being condescending, Ken, merely pointing out to you,
and to others who might read the thread, that Listboxes are not intended to be used as primary data display objects!
In responding to questions posted here, we have two objectives:
- To aid the original poster in solving his/her particular problem
- To provide information on the subject that may be helpful to others who come upon the thread
Because of the second objective listed above, it would be remiss of me not to comment on the inappropriateness of using Listboxes in this manner. Others coming along could get the idea that this was an acceptable usage, and that's simply not true.
Pointing out mistakes is never done to denigrate the poster, it's simply done so that others may avoid making the same ones! Innovation and creativity is what programming is all about, and we would never intentionally do anything here to discourage it!
Lastly, as a point of order, the technical forums here at
TSDN are for the posting of questions and/or problems, and as such are not the proper venues for posting instructional threads. We are always happy to receive and evaluate such threads, but they should be posted in the
HowTo section of the site.
Despite the wrongness of using Listboxes for the primary display of data, it's truly a pleasure to come across someone like yourself, who actually attempts to solve their own problems, instead of simply posting them and saying "Someone please do my work for me!"
I look forward, Ken, to seeing your future contributions here at TheScripts.
