Why doesn't my code work?

Hi

this is the code I hoped would remove
blanck list items.

VB doesn't like the line
List1.RemoveItem x
but I can't see anything wrong
with it

The code.


Private Sub Command5_Click()

For x = 0 To List1.ListCount

If List1.List(x) = "" Then
List1.RemoveItem x
End If

Next x
List1.Refresh

End Sub

Thanks for your time

Hmm...simple problem, simple answer.
Here's a solution:

Code:

---

Private Sub Command1_Click()
    Dim x As Long, c As Boolean
    Do Until x = List1.ListCount - 1
        c = False
        If List1.List(x) = "" Then
        List1.RemoveItem x
        c = True
        End If
        If c = False Then x = x + 1
    Loop
    List1.Refresh
End Sub

---

Your code:

Code:

---

    For x = 0 To List1.ListCount - 1

    If List1.List(x) = "" Then
    List1.RemoveItem x
    'Whenever you remove an item, the LISTCOUNT changes, but VB would still
    'try to get x to the OLD Listcount, so using Do Until solves the problem!
    'You can also use Do While.
    End If
   
    Next x
    List1.Refresh

Satisfactory? :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:
