How do I set up a program to when a user enters something into a text box,click a button, then it shows up in a list box?

Improved Question:
Alright,that's been solved. That was only a small part of this,as when someone clicks an item in the list box(right now theres only one there,"example1",when they click it,it shows on the right the account name"example1",the User Name "potato" and password,"pickle". The example one was already set by me,but if someone adds a new item to the list box,how would I set it up to where they can also add a log in and password,to where if they click one that they added,that it will also show a username and password next to it?

Wait so would this work?(lbx=List Box,tbx=Text Box)
lbxAccounts.SelectedItem = tbxNewAccountName.Text

No it would not. You need to create a new item and then set the item as text data and then add the item to listbox.
