Column Property Example

Microsoft Office Outlook 2003

The following example loads a two-dimensional array with data and, in turn, loads two ListBox controls using the Column and List properties. Note that the Column property transposes the array elements during loading.

To use this example, copy this sample code to the Script Editor of a form. To run the code you need to open the form so the Open event will activate. Make sure that the form contains two ListBox controls named ListBox1 and ListBox2.

Dim MyArray(6,3)

Sub Item_Open()
    Dim i 

    Set ListBox1 = Item.GetInspector.ModifiedFormPages("P.2").ListBox1
    Set ListBox2 = Item.GetInspector.ModifiedFormPages("P.2").ListBox2

    ListBox1.ColumnCount = 3        'The 1st list box contains 3 data columns
    ListBox2.ColumnCount = 6        'The 2nd box contains 6 data columns

    'Load integer values into first column of MyArray
    For i = 0 To 5
        MyArray(i, 0) = i
    Next 

    'Load columns 2 and three of MyArray
    MyArray(0, 1) = "Zero"
    MyArray(1, 1) = "One"
    MyArray(2, 1) = "Two"
    MyArray(3, 1) = "Three"
    MyArray(4, 1) = "Four"
    MyArray(5, 1) = "Five"

    MyArray(0, 2) = "Zero"
    MyArray(1, 2) = "Un ou Une"
    MyArray(2, 2) = "Deux"
    MyArray(3, 2) = "Trois"
    MyArray(4, 2) = "Quatre"
    MyArray(5, 2) = "Cinq"

    'Load data into ListBox1 and ListBox2
    ListBox1.List() = MyArray
    ListBox2.Column() = MyArray

End Sub
