saving list

how do i make it where there add an item . and next time there open the program that item there added to the list box is still there. where it save the changes to the list box.

Take a look at the GetSetting and SaveSetting VB Functions used for storing Data in the Registry..

Code:

---

Private Sub List1_DblClick()
    'Add Item from List1 to List2
    List2.AddItem List1
End Sub

Private Sub Form_Load()
    Dim iIndex As Integer
    Dim sItem As String
   
    'Create some Dummy List Items for List1
    For iIndex = 1 To 10
        List1.AddItem "Item " & iIndex
    Next
   
    'Load any Saved List Items from the Registry
    iIndex = 1
    Do
        sItem = GetSetting(App.Title, "List Items", iIndex, "")
        If Len(sItem) Then
            List2.AddItem sItem
            iIndex = iIndex + 1
        End If
    Loop While Len(sItem)
   
End Sub

Private Sub Form_Unload(Cancel As Integer)
    Dim iIndex As Integer
    'Save any Items in List2 to the Registry for Next Time.
    For iIndex = 1 To List2.ListCount
        Call SaveSetting(App.Title, "List Items", iIndex, List2.List(iIndex - 1))
    Next
End Sub

well. i make the exe to see if it would work. ok iopen the exe up. and added 100 items. then close it and reopen it. it the item where not there. can you please till me what wrong.

thank you

Did you copy the Code I posted exactly? Onto a Form with 2 Listboxes?
If so, it should work.

All it's doing is When the Form Loads, it checks the Registry for Any entries in the Key List Items, if there are any it loads them into List2.

When the Form is Unloaded, any Items in List2 are saved out to the Registry under the Key List Items.
