I am missing assigning the list property for a class module to work. Hoping someone can point out what I need to add.

I lifted a module from the internet to align columns independently in a listbox of a userform. I will show the initialize code first and the class module code second, as the problem seems to lie in the initialization.

I get the error on the bottom lines of code : MyListBoxClass.Center Me.ListBox1, 2

VBA Code:
Option Explicit

Dim DatePickerX_Ctrls() As cDatePickerX
Private MyListBoxClass As CListboxAlign


Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()

Call Clear
DatePickerX_Ini
'This assigns the drop downs to all the actionable fields on the userform

    Dim Fields As Worksheet
    Dim UF As Worksheet
    Dim SourceTable As Worksheet
    Dim i As Integer
    Dim lngRow As Long
    Dim lngIndex As Long
    Set MyListBoxClass = New CListboxAlign
    
    Set Fields = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Fields Lists")
    Set UF = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("User Form")
    Set SourceTable = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Tables")
    
    Me.CustomerBox.Clear
    Me.CustomerBox.List = SourceTable.Range("CustomerTable").Columns(1).Value
             
    Me.UserList.Clear
    For i = 2 To Fields.Range("A" & Application.Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
        Me.UserList.AddItem Fields.Range("A" & i).Value
    Next i
    
    Me.TimeBox.Clear
    For i = 2 To Fields.Range("C" & Application.Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
        Me.TimeBox.AddItem Fields.Range("C" & i).Text
    Next i
    
    Me.ShipMethodBox.Clear
    For i = 2 To Fields.Range("D" & Application.Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
        Me.ShipMethodBox.AddItem Fields.Range("D" & i).Value
    Next i
    
    Me.BoxLabelBox.Clear
    For i = 2 To Fields.Range("J" & Application.Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
        Me.BoxLabelBox.AddItem Fields.Range("J" & i).Value
    Next i
    
    Me.ProductBox.Clear
    Me.ProductBox.List = SourceTable.Range("ProdTable").Columns(1).Value
                      
    Me.EntryDate.Clear
    Me.EntryDate.Value = UF.Range("A1")
    Me.EntryDate.Value = Format(Me.EntryDate.Value, "[$-en-CA]d-mmm-yyyy;@")
    
    CoverBox.Enabled = False
    OrnamentBox.Enabled = False
    UPCBox.Enabled = False
    PackSizeBox.Enabled = False
    ColourBox.Enabled = False
    AssBox.Enabled = False
    StageBox.Enabled = False
    PackSizeBox.Enabled = False
    BoxLabelBox.Enabled = False
           
    
    MyListBoxClass.Center Me.ListBox1, 2
    MyListBoxClass.Center Me.ListBox1, 3
           
           
           
End Sub

And the class module that it pulls from named CListboxAlign:

Excel Facts

What is the fastest way to copy a formula?
If A2:A50000 contain data. Enter a formula in B2. Select B2. Double-click the Fill Handle and Excel will shoot the formula down to B50000.
Does the listbox have its Rowsource property set?

That's your issue then. You can't modify the list if it's tied to a range. You have to modify the source cells.

My list box ignores the alignment formatting of the source cells. That is why I tried to use this code.

You can't use Rowsource then. You'll need to load the range in using List (you can't have column headers though if you are using those).

All good, it was just a preference for aesthetics. I'll leave it as is then. Thanks for your help again! You are a god of excel among us mortals.
