How can I change a cell value in this code

```auto
For Each row As DesktopListBoxRow in MyList.Rows
  
  // Refreh Chrono
  Var t As Integer = row.Tag
  
  // Put t value on Column 3
 row.columnAt(3) = t.ToString // I need help for this line of code
  
Next

```

Where do you found ColumnAt ?

What do you want to do ?  
(place 3 in the whole column ?)

This should get you started on the right path.

```auto
var max as Integer = MyList.LastRowIndex
for index as Integer = 0 to max
  MyList.CellTextAt( index, 3 ) = MyList.RowTagAt( index )
next index

```

This what I have adopted but the loop is not elegant as for each

Unfortunately you can’t set CellTextAt on DesktopListBoxRow. If you could, this would be easier:

```auto
For Each row As DesktopListBoxRow in MyList.Rows
  row.CellTextAt(3) = row.Tag.IntegerValue.ToString
Next

```

Feature request perhaps? It makes sense to have

```auto
row.CellTextAt(column As Integer) As String

```

Certainly. I’m guessing they didn’t do it previously because they’d need to implement an observer. Shouldn’t be a problem.
