Checkedlistbox Multicolumn

I have a CheckedListBox control in Windows Forms.

I want to know who to add multi-columns to it. The MultiColumn property is set to true. I just want to know the coding to add 2 columns.

The code I have is

while (true)
{
    data = SDK.GetNext("ACCHISTL", 6);
    document_details = data.Split('|');
    if (document_details[0] == "0")
    {
        if (document_details[3] == Document_nr)
        {
            lbLines.Items.su(document_details[4] + " -> " + document_details[14],true);
        }
        else
        {
            break;
        }
    }
    else
    {
        break;
    }
}

Can you please assist me on show me the correct way of doing this?

Although CheckedListBox has MultiColumn property and you can set it to true, but it only arranges list of items in multiple columns flowing items top to down then right, based on height of control

■ 1         ■ 5
■ 2         ■ 6
■ 3         ■ 7
■ 4

So if you really need multiple column, consider using DatGridView or ListView that are real multi column controls.
