I'm trying to make the list box look like

. . . .
. . . .
. . . .
. . . .
. . . .
. . . .

etc

my code for that, so far, is

Dim i As Integer = 0
Dim j As Integer = 0
ListBox2.Items.Clear()
Do While i < 4 And j < 10
seats(j, i) = ". "
ListBox2.Items.Add(seats(j, i))
i += 1
If i = 3 And j < 10 Then
i = 0
j += 1

End If
Loop

The problem is that instead of going

. . . . . . . . . . . .

it's going

.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.

ListBoxes don't do what you want. You probably want a ListView or to roll your own control.

Well I'm in a "beginning VB" class, so I think that's a bit out of my league.
my professor gave us this code for it

Dim rowStr As String
ListBox2.Items.Clear()
For row As Integer = 0 To 9
rowStr = ""
For seat As Integer = 0 To 3
rowStr &= " ."
If seat = 1 Then
rowStr &= " "
End If
Next
ListBox2.Items.Add(rowStr)
Next

but i wasn't sure how to edit the periods after this code, so I tried to emulate it with my code...didn't work.

What he's doing there is concatenating the strings with periods together. (That's what & means in VB. " ." & " ." becomes " . .") Then, he adds that string as a row to the ListBox.

What you were doing is adding a bunch of periods as separate list items on the assumption that they would march together in rows. That's not how ListBox works. A ListBox only has rows. It doesn't have columns. You can't create a grid of items within a ListBox.

You can create something that acts like a ListBox and does rows and columns, but, as I said, that's "Hard Mode."
