ListBox missing Column tag properties

rgb

ListBox.SetHeaderTag(column As Integer, tag As Object)
ListBox.GetHeaderTag(column As Integer) As Object

Why ?

Because... 🙂

Suppose have listbox with 2 columns
first display a date
second display a value

if user reorder column order, when i remove all items and refill listbox
data are not correctly displayed.

I can read HeaderText but if have 2 columns with same name hit problem

Good suggestion. This is now implemented for the next release: https://feedback.objo.dev/feature/1060

The API is:

ListBox.ColumnTag(column As Integer) As Object
ListBox.SetColumnTag(column As Integer, tag As Object)

I used “ColumnTag” rather than “HeaderTag” because the metadata belongs to the column even when headers are hidden.

Tags default to Nothing and move with their column when the user reorders columns. You can therefore identify each column reliably while refilling the ListBox, even when multiple columns have the same header text.
