Description

Adds a string that is specified by itemString to the list box user control that is specified by userControlID.

Strings are added to the end of the list box, unless the -insert flag was provided, in which case, the string is inserted at the index specified. If the -sort flag was provided with the createListBox command, the strings in the list box will appear in alphabetical order, and the -insert flag has no visible effect.
