List box with checkboxes

I have made great use of the checkbox feature in the list in VB6, but I can't figure out how to tell which one is selected (has the blue background, can be moved w/ keyboard arrows). In a regular listbox it used the .selected property. Now that is whether the item is checked true or false. Can I have my cake and eat it too?

the .listindex property will tell you which one is selected (zero based). -1 means no item is selected.

Many thanks!

If you mean want to find out how many items are checked then take a look at the Selected property:

Code:

---

    Dim i As Integer
    Dim strItems As String
   
    For i = 0 To List1.ListCount - 1
        If List1.Selected(i) = True Then
            strItems = strItems & List1.List(i) & vbCrLf
        End If
    Next
    MsgBox strItems
