Hi Shannen Please follow this link for ListView: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.listview.items.aspx

It's possible to (effectively) create columns in a ListBox provided you change to a fixed width font (such as Lucida Console) so that they line up correctly. You can then do something like this: listBox1.Items.Add(String.Format({0 -15} {1} Home Format)); listBox1.Items.Add(String.Format({0 -15} {1} Insert Font)); and so on.

Hi Shannen Suggest you to use ListView instead supports multiple columns. You've got Columns property for ListBox control also but it doesn't work in the way you expect. If you set it to anything other than 0 then you get a view of list entries that is a bit like windows Explorer in List mode rather than the style of columns you want which is Explorer in Details view. Hope you got the point. HTH :)
