finishing touches

Ok, I'm looping through a Filelistbox doing stuff. Everytime I loop through, I want my label to display the index of the file it's on. This doesn't seem to work:

VB Code:

lblcurrent.caption = File1.ListIndex

It always returns a -1

ListIndex shows which one is clicked. If your just looping, then do something like:

VB Code:

For i = 1 To File1.ListCount
    'do whatever here
    Label1 = File1.List(i)
    'do whatever here
Next

That gives the listitem not the index value

For i = 0 to File1.Listcount-1
Label1=i
next

i will always = the index of the listbox.

You'll have to add a DoEvents or lbl.Refresh statement in the loop or you'll never see the update in the label.
