BackColor  The combo box's background color.
ForeColor  The combo box's foreground text color.
Height   The height, in twips, of the closed combo box.
IntegralHeight  Determines whether the combo box can display partial items, such as the upper half of an item that falls toward the bottom of the combo box.
List   A drop-down property list box in which you can enter values into the combo box at design time. You can enter only one at a time, and most      programmers prefer to initialize the combo box at runtime.
Sorted   Determines whether the combo box values are automatically sorted. If False (the default value), the values appear in the same order in which the program    added the items to the combo box.
Style   Determines the type of combo box your application needs. If 0-DropDown Combo, the combo box is a drop-down combo box. If 1-Simple Combo, the     combo box turns into a simple combo box that remains open to the height you use at design time. If 2-DropDown List, the combo box turns into    a drop-down list box that remains closed until the user is ready to see more of the list.

BackColor  Specifies the list box's background color.
Columns  Determines the number of columns. If 0, the list box scrolls vertically in a single column. If 1 or more, the list box items appear in the number of columns    specified (one or more columns) and a horizontal scrollbar appears so you can see all the items in the list.
ForeColor  Specifies the list box's text color.
Height   Indicates the height of the list box in twips.
IntegralHeight  Determines whether the list box can display partial items, such as the upper half of an item that falls toward the bottom of the list box.
List   Holds, in a drop-down property list box, values that you can enter into the list box at design time. You can enter only one at a time, and most     programmers usually prefer to initialize the list box at runtime.
MultiSelect  The state of the list box's selection rules. If 0-None (the default), the user can select only one item by clicking with the mouse or by pressing the     Spacebar over an item. If 1-Simple, the user can select more than one item by clicking with the mouse or by pressing the Spacebar over items    in the list. If 2-Extended, the user can select multiple items using Shift+click and Shift+arrow to extend the selection from a previously selected    item to the current one. Ctrl+click either selects or deselects an item from the list.
Sorted   Determines whether the list box values are automatically sorted. If False (the default value), the values appear in the same order in which the program     added the items to the list.
Style   Determines whether the list box appears in its usual list format or, as shown in Figure 10.3, with check boxes next to the selected items.

Common list box methods.

Method   Description

AddItem  Adds a single item to the list box.
Clear   Removes all items from the list box.
List   A string array that holds items from within the list box.
ListCount  The total number of list box items.
RemoveItem  Removes a single item from the list box.

Perhaps the most important method is the AddItem method, which adds items to the list box. AddItem is to list boxes what the assignment statement is to variables. A method always appears between the control name and a period. For example, the following AddItem method sends the value of Joseph to a list box named lstOneCol:
lstOneCol.AddItem "Joseph"

strMsg is a string (either a variable or a string constant enclosed in quotation marks) and forms the text of the message displayed in the message box. intType is an optional numeric value or expression that describes the options you want in the message box. Table 6.1, Table 6.2, and Table 6.3 contain all the possible values you can use for the type of message box you want displayed. (Visual Basic displays no icon if you don't specify an intType value.) If you want to use a value from two or more of the tables, you'll add the values together. Although you can use the integer value, if you use the built-in Visual Basic named literal, you'll more easily understand the message box's style if you ever have to change the message box in the future. strTitle is an optional string that represents the text in the message box's title bar. If you omit strTitle, Visual Basic uses the project's name for the message box's title bar text.

Although Visual Basic normally takes care of data types when you type number values, you might need to ensure that Visual Basic interprets a numeric literal as one of the specific numeric data types. For example, you might type the literal 86 and need Visual Basic to store or display the value as a Long data type even though 86 fits within a Byte or Integer data type.

You can use the data type suffix characters from Table 5.2 to override the default data type. The suffix characters let you specify the data type for numeric literals when you need to. Occasionally, Visual Basic will also use the data type suffix characters when displaying numeric information. Therefore, if you type 86#, Visual Basic treats the number 86 as a double-precision value.

Suffix Character  Data Type  Example
&    Long   86&
!    Single   86!
#    Double   86#
@    Currency  86@

Prefix   Data Type  Example

bln   Boolean  blnIsOverTime
byt   Byte   bytAge
cur   Currency  curHourlyPay
dtm   Date   dteFirstBegan
dbl   Double   dblMicroMeasurement
int   Integer   intCount
lng   Long   lngStarDistance
obj   Object   objSoundClip
sng   Single   sngYearSales
str   String   strLastName
vnt or var  Variant   vntControlValue

Boolean  A data type that takes on one of two values only: True or False. True and False are Visual Basic reserved words, meaning that you cannot use them for    names of items you create.
Byte   Positive numeric values without decimals that range from 0 to 255.
Currency  Data that holds dollar amounts from -$922,337,203,685,477.5808 to $922,337,203,685,477.5807. The four decimal places ensure that proper rounding    can occur. VB respects your Windows International settings and adjusts currency amounts according to your country's requirements. Never     include the dollar sign when entering Currency values.
Date   Holds date and time values. The date can range from January 1, 100, to December 31, 9999. (In the years following 9999, people will have to use     something other than Visual Basic!)
Decimal  A new data type not yet supported in Visual Basic except in a few advanced situations. The Decimal data type represents numbers with 28 decimal     places of accuracy.
Double   Numeric values that range from -1.79769313486232E+308 to 1.79769313486232E+308. The Double data type is often called double-precision.
Integer   Numeric values with no decimal point or fraction that range from -32,768 to 32,767.
Long   Integer values with a range beyond that of Integer data values. Long data values range from -2,147,483,648 to 2,147,483,647. Long data values consume    more memory storage than integer values, and they are less efficient. The Long data type is often called long integer.
Object   A special data type that holds and references objects such as controls and forms.
Single   Numeric values that range from -3.402823E+38 to 3.402823E+38. The Single data type is often called single-precision.
String   Data that consists of 0 to 65,400 characters of alphanumeric data. Alphanumeric means that the data can be both alphabetic and numeric. String data    values may also contain special characters such as ^, %, and @. Both fixed-length strings and variable-length strings exist.
Variant   Data of any data type and used for control and other values for which the data type is unknown.

Visible   Determines whether the label appears or is hidden from the user.
Width   Holds the width of the label in twips.
WordWrap  Determines whether the label expands to fit whatever text appears in the caption.

BackColor  Specifies the command button's background color. Click the BackColor's palette down arrow to see a list of colors and click Categorized to see a list of common  Windows control colors.
