	 $lb = Curses::Widgets::ListBox::MultiColumn->new({
	   COLUMNS     => [0, 5, 10, 3, 3],
	   LISTITEMS   => [@list],
	   });

	 $lb->draw($mwh, 1);

	 See the Curses::Widgets pod for other methods.

REQUIREMENTS

       Curses
       Curses::Widgets
       Curses::Widgets::ListBox

DESCRIPTION

       Curses::Widgets::ListBox::MultiColumn is an extension of the standard Curses::Widgets::ListBox that allows a list of columns, with each
       column a specified width.

METHODS

       new (inherited from Curses::Widgets)

	 $tm = Curses::Widgets::ListBox->new({
	   COLUMNS     => [0, 5, 10, 3, 3],
	   LISTITEMS   => [@list],
	   HEADERS     => [@headers],
	   HEADERCOLFG => 'white',
	   HEADERCOLBG => 'green',
	   BIGHEADER   => 1,
	   });

       All of the same key values apply here as they do for the parent class Curses::Widgets::ListBox.	In addition, the following new keys are
       defined:

	 Key	       Default	 Description
	 ============================================================
	 COLUMNS	    []	 Column widths
	 LISTITEMS	    []	 List of list values
	 HEADERS	    []	 Column header labels
	 HEADERFGCOL	 undef	 Header foreground colour
	 HEADERBGCOL	 undef	 Header background colour
	 BIGHEADER	     0	 Use more graphics for the header
	 KEYINDX	     0	 Index of key column

       If headers are defined but one or both of the header colours are not, then they will default to the widget fore and background.

       NOTE:  Headers take up more lines in addition to the border (one line for the normal, small header, two lines for the larger).  You need to
       take that into account when setting the geometry.  If no labels are passed in the HEADERS array, no space will be used for the headers.

       The KEYINDX value is currently only used to match keystrokes against for quick navigation.

       draw

	 $lb->draw($mwh, 1);

       The draw method renders the list box in its current state.  This requires a valid handle to a curses window in which it will render itself.
       The optional second argument, if true, will cause the field's text cursor to be rendered as well.
