I am tinkering with vb.net in visual studio 2005... I remember way back in
vb4 days that you could have multicolumn comboboxes... I think. I could be
wrong. I could not see anywhere in the VS2005 combobox properties where to
make this happen? like a 'columns' property or something? I only saw ways to
control display vs value for a single column combobox and that seemed to
only be when bound to some kind of datasource like a database table.

anyone care to enlighten this poor fool?
 
thanks, I'll check them out.

You can use the method outlined at the link below to host controls in a
popup window when the ComboBox is dropped down. If you want multiple columns
you could host a ListView or a DataGridView.

There are also articles that describe how to create a multi column
appearance in a ComboBox.
