ListBox values

[Stu Bailey]

I am using the me.lstbox.selected(x) = true to scroll up and down a listbox. This seems to alter the selected row, but does not actually seem to select the row (like it would if you clicked on it).

The problems I am having is that I need to get the value of the row that the selection has moved to, has anybody got any ideas?

Cheers

Stu

Try
if List1.Selected(index) = True then
msgbox List1.Text
end if

msgbox Listbox.ItemData(listbox.ItemsSelected.Item(0))




0 is for the first element selected if you enabled multiselection then you'll have to loop. Sample loop is


for counter = 0 to (listbox.ItemsSelected.Count -1 )
msgbox listbox.itemdata(listbox.itemsselected.item(counter))
next

Disregard my previous message, it works on Access.. On VB 6 use this


msgbox List1.ItemData (List1.Selected(0))

for Counter = 0 to list1.Selcount -1
msgbox list1.ItemData(List1.Selected(counter))
next

Instead of using :

lstbox.selected(x)= true

Try this:

lstbox.ListIndex=x

I apparently do not understand the problem. I tried this sample progra below without any problems. When I select a list item in the listbox, It is viewable and highlighted. When I display it it comes out OK
Place a Listbox, 2 command buttons and a textbox on a form. Paste this code.
Enter a number in textbox and click Button1
Item is displayed highlighted in listbox
click button2. Item is displayed correctly

private Sub Command1_Click()
List1.Selected(Text1.Text) = true
End Sub

private Sub Command2_Click()
MsgBox List1.List(List1.ListIndex)
End Sub

private Sub Form_Load()
Dim X
for X = 0 to 100
List1.AddItem X
next X
End Sub
