Explain the difference between a Multicolumn Listbox and a Table Control

[Joe_John]

What is the difference between a Multicolumn Listbox and a Table Control? When would I use one over the other?

[falkpl]

These are very different:

Table - Value of the data is in the data type, a 2-d array of strings, property nodes provide a mechanism for naming rows and columns

Multicolumn list box the value is the selected by the user and string displays are saved in the property of the control not the data value.

Look at the property/methods associeted with each and you will get an idea of how different they are. 

Easier to explain what data you want to display/manipulate and we can suggest when to use one vs the other

The multicolumn listbox as control allows the user to select an row (and/or 0 or more items). The table allows the user to enter anything in any cell unless you code against it (Filter Events).

The Listbox is more similar to a ring (user select an item), but allows a bit more options.
