expression.ColumnHeads
expression Required. An expression that returns one of the objects in the Applies To list.
Setting
The ColumnHeads property uses the following settings.
| Setting | Visual Basic | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Yes | True | Column headings are enabled and either field captions, field names, or the first row of data items are used as column headings or chart labels. |
| No | False | (Default) Column headings are not enabled. |
You can set the ColumnHeads property by using the control's property sheet, a macro, or Visual Basic.
For table fields, you can set this property on the Lookup tab of the Field Properties section of table Design view for fields with the DisplayControl property set to Combo Box or List Box.
TipRemarks
The RowSourceType property specifies whether field names or the first row of data items are used to create column headings. If the RowSourceType property is set to Table/Query, the field names are used as column headings. If the field has a caption, then the caption is displayed. For example, if a list box has three columns (the ColumnCount property is set to 3) and the RowSourceType property is set to Table/Query, the first three field names (or captions) are used as headings.
If the RowSourceType property is set to Value List, the first row of data items entered in the value list (as the setting of the RowSource property) will be column headings. For example, if a list box has three columns and the RowSourceType property is set to Value List, the first three items in the RowSource property setting are used as column headings.
Headings in combo boxes appear only when displaying the list in the control.
