List Controls

Many applications require the display of simple lists. Sometimes these lists are finite and static: the months of the year, product codes in a company catalogue, and so on. At other times, the list may be large and dynamic, allowing the user to add items as necessary: a list of organizations to which customers may belong or books read by students in a class, for example. The list controls described in this chapterListBox, CheckedListBox, and ComboBoxserve both these needs.
