@shawnmstout

Have you not learned yet to post code you have tried?

Just from the very worthless description of what you want to do, I suspect that you mean a ListView (multi-column) and not a List (single-column). There are examples in the Help file and there is also a very good ListView UDF that also includes examples in the help file.

sorry man, this is my first attempt at making a listbox so im quite new to this, like 10 minutes ago new, and its hard to look through the help file when you dont know exactly what your looking for.

Where do i find the ListView UDF at?

i know my code is a mess cause i was taking it from tray menus which i ended up maxing out, but here is what i got so far

attached test.au3

im simply trying to make a table with headers telling what the data is, and filling in the section below

Here is an example of how i wanted it to show

-----------------------------------------Drive #1------------------------------------

Label | Drive | FileSystem | Serial Number | Free Space | Total Space |

data | data | data | data | data | data |

-----------------------------------------Drive #2-----------------------------------

Label | Drive | FileSystem | Serial Number | Free Space | Total Space |

data | data | data | data | data | data |

where the data is, is where the information goes,

drive numbers = Header

next row = Column Titles

next row = data

hope this clarifies it, the reason why i chose listboxes is so you can scroll, if this isnt the best approach, please advice

Okay, you didn't post or attach what you have so far so take a look in the help file >> User Defined Functions Reference >> GUIListViewManagement for the functions and examples. The UDF itself is in the Include folder created when you installed AutoIt.

Edit: I also should have pointed out that you may not evnen need the ListView UDF functionality. First look in the Help file >> Function Reference >> GUI management >> GUI Control Creation Then look for

GUICtrlCreateListview() and GUICtrlCreateListViewItem()

You also get the scroll ability with ListView Controls if The list exceeds the height of the control.

GUICreate("Test GUI", 700, 400)
$ListView = GUICtrlCreateListView("Label | Drive | FileSystem | Serial Number | " & _
"Free Space | Total Space ", 10, 10, 600, 80)
$aDrives = DriveGetDrive("All")
For $i = 1 To Ubound($aDrives) -1
    $sData = DriveGetLabel($aDrives[$i]) & "|" & StringUpper($aDrives[$i]) & "|"
    $sData &= DriveGetFileSystem($aDrives[$i]) & "|" & DriveGetSerial($aDrives[$i]) & "|"
    $sData &= DriveSpaceFree($aDrives[$i]) & "|" & DriveSpaceTotal($aDrives[$i])
    GUICtrlCreateListViewItem($sData, $ListView)
Next

GUISetState()
While 1
    If GUIGetMsg() = -3 Then Exit
Wend

If you need to set the column widths then see _GUICtrlListView_SetColumnWidth() in the UDF section I pointed you to.

I see you paid attention to the part where I said you may not need the UDF. Take a look at the code I posted. See any differences?

that would work but its not putting the data into columns so if the field is alot bigger than the title then its not going to align correctly

GUICtrlSetData. Read the description carefully as well as the remarks.
