Description

Contains the strings that appear in the list box.

Use Items to add, insert, delete and move items. By default, the items in a list box are of type TStrings. Use this item type to access its methods or properties to manipulate the items in the list.

For example, the following code snippet shows how to add the text in the edit box to the list box as an item:

  ListBox1.Items.Add(Edit1.Text);
  ListBox1->Items->Add(Edit1->Text);

Tip: If you have a list box with multiple columns and you want to add data to specific columns, then you need to use the ^I parameter (that is, capital i; Delphi-only) in the Add statement, as shown in the snippet below.

  ListBox1.Items.Add('First Column'^I'Second Column');
  ListBox1.Items.Add('1'^I'2');
  ListBox1.Items.Add('4'^I'5');

And the result would be:
