Tutorial 3 : Windows Forms and Useful ListBox Properties Using Visual C++.NET 2010, 2008   
      This program will show how to use listboxes, and some of their more useful properties. Click here for the source code to the ListBox Demo Program in Visual C++.NET for the 2010 version or click here to download the 2008 version. First create a form which looks as follows, including the one listBox shown:

      Code the buttons as followings:

private: System::Void button1_Click(System::Object^ sender, System::EventArgs^ e)        {          listBox1->Items ->Add(textBox1->Text ); textBox1->Text="";        } private: System::Void button2_Click(System::Object^ sender, System::EventArgs^ e)      {        int numListBoxItems; numListBoxItems=listBox1->Items ->Count; label2->Text=numListBoxItems.ToString() ;      } private: System::Void button3_Click(System::Object^ sender, System::EventArgs^ e)      {        int position; String ^myString; myString=textBox2->Text; position=listBox1->Items->IndexOf(myString); label4->Text=position.ToString();      } private: System::Void button4_Click(System::Object^ sender, System::EventArgs^ e)      {        String ^newWord; int position; newWord=textBox3->Text; position=Int32::Parse(textBox4->Text); listBox1->Items->Insert(position, newWord);      } private: System::Void button5_Click(System::Object^ sender, System::EventArgs^ e)      {        listBox1->Sorted=true;      } private: System::Void button6_Click(System::Object^ sender, System::EventArgs^ e)      {        String ^myString; myString=textBox5->Text; listBox1->Items->Remove(myString);      } private: System::Void button7_Click(System::Object^ sender, System::EventArgs^ e)      {        int position; String ^myString; myString=textBox6->Text; position=Int32::Parse(myString); listBox1->Items->RemoveAt(position);      } private: System::Void Form1_Load(System::Object^ sender, System::EventArgs^ e) {      }

      Note: If you lose the design window (which often happens when you open the “sln”  file using explorer) try the following: 
      Navigate to File > New > Project  > Window Form Application
       To make a design window appear which shows the forms go to view > designer
