ScrollBars in Listboxes

[vbeginner]

Can anybody help me?

I am trying to synchronise scrollbars in listboxes, i.e if one scrolls, the others should also scroll.

The problem is that Listboxes do not have a scrollbar property/I don't know

There is an event Scroll, but it does not return a value...

PLEASE HELP!

Scroll bars appears in the list box as soon as the list items increse than the size of the list box.
So you don't have to make separate scrollbar for list box.

Thanks for the reply, but that is my problem:

Here is what happens:

Three lists grow at exactly the same pace.

All get scroll bars at exactly the same time.

Now, when I scroll in one list, I want the other two to scroll automatically.

Any ideas?

I think that's impossible?

Sorry

Can't seem to get the list boxs to scroll together, but this works if the user is using the cursor keys or the page up/down keys.

Some API guru will probably be able to tell you how to do it.

Option Explicit

Private Sub Form_Load()
    Dim i As Integer
    
    For i = 1 To 100
      List1.AddItem i
      List2.AddItem i
    Next i
    
    List1.ListIndex = 0
    List2.ListIndex = 0
    
End Sub

Private Sub List1_Click()
    List2.ListIndex = List1.ListIndex
End Sub

Private Sub List2_Click()
    List1.ListIndex = List2.ListIndex
End Sub

Cheers for the attempt...

Ill let you know if I solve it...

Why do you need to use 3 syncronised list boxes?
Can't you use a listview with 3 columns?

Cheers

I'll try it now...

I think you can use the scroll event. Using something like:

Private Sub listbox1_Scroll()
   lisbox2.TopIndex = lisbox1.TopIndex 'or something
End Sub
