Is it possible to create a multiple columns in a single list box?

terapin

I have created a list box with 21 items in it as shown below

// Create dialog window that user selects Site ID of station

result = New Window( "Select Site ID",

  << Modal,

  << Return Result,

  siteid = List Box(

  {"CGE", "CH3", "CH14", "CH22", "CHO", "FCF", "FCO", "JUN", "MET", "MMF", "MMO", "SGF",

  "SGO", "TRF", "TRO", "TNF_IR100", "WED", "UC_CH14", "UC_FCF", "UC_MMF", "UC_SGF",

  "UC_TRF"},

  nlines( 23 )

  ),

);

// Instruction needed to Return Result from List Box

siteid = result["siteid"];

// Extract value from list for use as variable

stn = siteid [ 1 ];

I'm wondering if there is a way to display the List items in 2 or more columns for the user to select?  Such as,

CGE      FCF     MMF     TRF               UC_CH14

CH3       FCO    MMO     TRO              UC_FCF

CH14     JUN     SGF      TNF_IR100     UC_MMF  

CH22     MET    SGO      WED             UC_SGF

                                                          UC_TRF

I've tried V List Box for the List Box but can't seem to figure if it's possible to do this, and if so, how it might be done.  Any suggestions would be very appreciated

Hello,

Do you want to limit the user response to one selection at a time?

If so, you could change from a list box to a combo box.

Cheers,
