Read data in the first column selected in a Multicolumn listbox

[Eric1977]

When a row is selected in a multicolumn listbox (1 item), how do I go about reading the data in the first column?

The multicolumn listbox itself is numeric array data type. If you have allowed selection of only 1 item and selection mode of select entire row, it returns the row number. Use the "Item Names" property node to return a 2d array of strings of the items in your box. Index it by the row from the value of the listbox and column 0. See attached code.

I figured that was the solution but I was on the slight hunch that there might be a property or method that could useto tell me this. Thank you.
