Maybe this small example gives you an idea:

Private Sub Form1_Load(sender As System.Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
		For i As Integer = 1 To 10
			ListBox1.Items.Add("Value " & i)
		Next
	End Sub

	Private Sub ListBox1_SelectedIndexChanged(sender As Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles ListBox1.SelectedIndexChanged
		ListBox2.Items.Clear()
		For i As Integer = 40 To 50
			ListBox2.Items.Add(ListBox1.SelectedItem.ToString & " => " & New String(Chr(i), 5))
		Next
	End Sub

See if this helps.:)

Public Class Form1
    Private arCmbItems() As String = {"item 1", "item 2", "item etc.", "item.Else"}

    Private Sub Form1_Load(sender As System.Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
        With ListBox1
            .Items.AddRange(arCmbItems) '// add items to ListBox from String.Array.
        End With
    End Sub

    Private Sub ListBox1_SelectedIndexChanged(sender As System.Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles ListBox1.SelectedIndexChanged
        With ListBox2.Items
            If Not ListBox1.SelectedIndex = -1 Then '// check if item is selected since Index.of -1 is No.Item.Selected.
                .Clear() '// .Clear for new input.
                Select Case ListBox1.SelectedItem '// check value selected.
                    Case arCmbItems(0) '// case 1st.item.
                        .Add("1a") : .Add("1b") : .Add("1c")
                    Case arCmbItems(2) '// case 3rd.item.
                        .Add("etc.a") : .Add("etc.b") : .Add("etc.c")
                    Case arCmbItems(1) '// case 2nd.item.
                        .Add("2a") : .Add("2b") : .Add("2c")
                    Case Else '// if any other item selected.
                        .Add("No items")
                        .Add("in String.Array")
                        .Add("for this .SelectedItem")
                End Select
            End If
        End With
    End Sub
End Class

The "code" seems to help quite a bit more than a lot.
