Multiple listboxes

Hi all.
I have a question regarding multiple list boxes. I am coding for Visual Basic 6.

I am developing a box office program and it is nearly complete. However, I have four listboxes, one for show name, one for time, one for date and one for day. The listboxes sit side by side.

The show listbox is lst_show
The date listbox is lst_date
The day listbox is lst_day
The time listbox is lst_time

At the moment all the code to select the show is called by clicking the name in the show listbox. I have coded the others to follow the selection (all in a mouse down event).

Code in lst_show:-

Lst_date.listindex = lst_show.listindex
Lst_time.listindex = lst_show.listindex
Lst_day.listindex = lst_show.listindex

And the same for selecting the shows from the other listboxes. Time, day and date.

Code in lst_day:-

Lst_show.listindex = lst_show.listindex
Lst_time.listindex = lst_show.listindex
Lst_date.listindex = lst_show.listindex

Code in lst_date:-

Lst_show.listindex = lst_show.listindex
Lst_time.listindex = lst_show.listindex
Lst_day.listindex = lst_show.listindex

Code in lst_time:-

Lst_show.listindex = lst_show.listindex
Lst_day.listindex = lst_show.listindex
Lst_date.listindex = lst_show.listindex

All is good and the listboxes all follow each other. The problem I have is that I cannot get the event in lst_day, lst_date and lst_time to trigger the code in lst_show, the idea being that you can click the day, time, date or show to select it.

Any ideas?

Thank you.

Sorry. The code was wrong and I cannot edit the post. this is the correct code:-

Why not using one list control instead of four list boxes?

I have to use four. The text information in each list is used to print the tickets, and I cannot change that now. As I said, the listboxes follow each other, no problem. However, the lst_show listbox triggers loads of code and opens and reads multiple files fro the HDD. I just cannot get the event in the other listboxes to trigger the events in the lst_show listbox.

Thanks.

Here is a shot of the main screen with the four listboxes. The only way I could do it in the end was to put the code in a call and run from each box and link the boxes together with listbox.listindex = listbox.listindex.

Thank you all.
