MS Access Forum / Forms / May 2008Looking for a better listbox
Hi All, I want a listbox with column sort buttons at the top and adjustable column widths. You see them in all kinds of applications, like Windows Explore's file list. I could build one for myself using labels with button down and button up events and a bunch of code to round it out. Isn't there something simple already out there that I can drop in? Thanks for any pointers, Max How about a subform as datasheet? You can adjust the columns, sort by column (simply right-click) and with a little coding make a selection from the datasheet row.

Access Controls > Additional controls(elipsis)> > Microsoft ListView Control, ver 6.0 Hi Mike, I was afraid of that. I've put off trying to implement them, as I've heard so many complains. I bit the bullet and started in on it, and just about have it all working for me, though. So far it's not bad at all. We'll see what happens when I try to get fancy some day. Regards, Max I find so often that users really don't need the column sizing.... And, the few cases for sorting, I add a combo box at the top of the form. And, you do get filter by selection for free if you copy the menu buttons. Here is some screen shots of continues forms I used, and I tend to like them better then datasheet viewes... http://www.members.shaw.ca/AlbertKallal/Articles/Grid.htm  SignatureAlbert D.
