Hello!

I have one listbox with items ( just one item for now )

ListBoxItem1 
   {
X= 200  Y= 205
X= 400  Y= 402
X= 100  Y= 200
X= 250  Y= 250
}

What I have tried:

How can I split it so that it only says:
Code:

X=200  
Y= 205

I'm trying to use it like this:
Code:

Cursor.Position.X = ListBoxItem1.Text
Cursor.Position.Y = ListBoxItem1.Text

Well, of course that's not going to work, but trying to give an example of my destination. I wish the listbox had columns, so I could just select from an invidivual column:

Cursos.Position.X = ListBoxItem1.Column1.Text

Lol, hope you understand what I'm trying to do.

The real question here is why you want to hide the "other" data.

Hey! Seems you missed it. It's there: ListBox.MultiColumn Property (System.Windows.Forms) | Microsoft Docs[^]

C#

listBox1.MultiColumn = true;
listBox1.Items.AddRange(new object[] { "Item 1, column 1", "Item 2, column 1", "Item 3, column 1", "Item 4, column 1", "Item 5, column 1", "Item 1, column 2", "Item 2, column 2", "Item 3, column 2" });

Another alternative if you really want some customization to it - Create a new custom control inherited from listbox and have the structure you like/want.
Here an example: Multi Column List Box in C#[^]
