Access LabVIEW Property Node from VB

I'm using LabVIEW as an ActiveX server. I'm trying to access the property node of a multicolumn listbox from VB. Is this possible?
 
Thanks,

You can view the exposes methods and properties of LabVIEW by doing the following:

1.  Go to LabVIEW help at Program Files>>National Instruments>>LabVIEW 8.0>>LabVIEW Help
2.  Click on the Content tab at the top right.
3.  In the directory tree, go to Property and Method Reference>>VI Server to see the exposed properties and methods.

MulticolumnListbox Properties is located at:
Generic>>GObject>>Control

Thank you for your reply, according to what I see there, under Help, Property and Method Reference, VI Server, Generic, GObject, Control, Properties, MulticolumnListbox, Item Names is listed as available. How do I access that property from VB?

 

Thanks,

Charles

After looking at this some more, it does not appear to be possible because the VI>>Front panel property is not exposed in ActiveX Control Library 8.2.  I don't see any documentation explaining why this isn't exposed.  I will file this issue internally.
