Columns in ListBoxes are created through "tab stops". See the following:

You might also consider using a ListView control in Report view:

PS I am not very found of the Sheridan controls, they are expensive, you need to learn how to use them, and they need to be distributed with the app. And most of the times they are overkilling.
If you just need multiple columns, you can use the ListBox (with the above code), the ListView (as Phil's suggestions) or a FlexGrid
