Referencing list boxes in Access - ms-access

Question

I'm new to Access so this might be a simple question.
I have a form in Access 2013. There is a subform displaying a table from an SQL server, like so.
Company Product
-----------------
CompanyA Product1
CompanyA Product2
CompanyB Product1
CompanyB Product2
Using ListIndex in a list box, I can display the index of any row I click on. For example if I click on the second row (CompanyA, Product2) the list box shows a ListIndex of 1. If I click on the third row the ListIndex is 2.
How do I get a list box to display the value of a column instead of the ListIndex?
What I am trying to do is that, when I click on a row in the subform, I'd like to display each column value for that row in its own list box.
However, I cannot seem to use ListIndex as a variable in a larger function. I've attempted the following:
Typing only the column name into the list box. Does not update the value if I click on a different row.
Column property does not update the value if I click on a different row.
Controls property gives an error.
Value property displays the correct row but only works for the first column.
Combo boxes circle back to the problem that I need to use ListIndex as a variable.
Is there a different property I should be using? Am I missing something in the properties I tried?

Answer 1

There seems to be a little confusion with terminology. Your List3 is a list box, not a subform.
The fields Company and Product look like text boxes, but if the first one has the control source =[List3].[ListIndex], and shows a text and not a number, it seems to be a listbox with height = one line.
I suggest using text boxes for Company and Product, with these control sources:
=[List3]
for the bound column. Alternatively, for consistency: =[List3].Column(0)
=[List3].Column(1)
for the second column.
These text boxes update themselves automatically when you click on an item in the listbox.

To get the value of a listbox, and if you allow multi-select, use the following example:
For Each varItem In Me.lstHierarchy.ItemsSelected ' Loop through the items selected (if multi-select allowed)
strPrint = ""
For i = 0 To iCols ' Loop thru each column in a row
strPrint = strPrint & "|" & Me.lstHierarchy.Column(i, varItem)
Next i
Debug.Print "Selected Value: " & strPrint ' Display the row; columns are delimited with '|'
Next
