    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.

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

    Re: Multiple listboxes

    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.
