listbox entries and retrieving them

I've been through the more documentation than I can shake a stick at and can't find the answer to this question:

I have a listbox with n entries. I need to be able to "walk" down the listbox entries and compare them against a specific value.

How do I sequentially retrieve the values from 0-(listcount-1)?

Thanks

You can get at the data using the list property. For instance

Code:

---

for i = 0 to list1.listcount - 1
msgbox list1.list(i)
next

---

Make sure your list is no longer than 100.

And try this:

Code:

---

Private Sub Command1_Click()
On Error Resume Next
List1.ListIndex = -1
Do Until List1.ListIndex = List1.ListCount
List1.ListIndex = List1.ListIndex + 1
If List1 = specificvalue Then MsgBox "FOUND!": Exit Sub
Loop
End Sub

I have used listboxes with well over a thousand entries with no difficulties whatsever. I know that the design time member max differs from the run time max (32,000 I think), but I cannot find the info in the MSDN anywhere.

try this, it works:

Code:

---

Dim i As Long
For i = 0 To 32000
    List1.AddItem i
Next

For i = 0 To List1.ListCount - 1
    If List1.List(i) = "20000" Then _
        MsgBox "FOUND"
Next
