URGENT HELP NEEDED! Listbox problem

Why doesn't this code work? i want the program to go through each listbox item and give a value to the lstbox() array so that i know which items are selected. If lstbox() = 0 then that item wasnt selected. If lstbox() = 1 then item was selected.

Code:

---

        lstbox(0) = 0
        lstbox(1) = 0
        lstbox(2) = 0
        lstbox(3) = 0
        lstbox(4) = 0
        lstbox(5) = 0
        lstbox(6) = 0
        lstbox(7) = 0
        lstbox(8) = 0
        lstbox(9) = 0

        Dim n As Integer = 0
     
        If listbox.SelectedIndex = -1 Then
            elephant += 1
        Else
            Do
                If listbox.Items(n) = listbox.SelectedIndex Then 'if client is selected then add a value to array
                    lstbox(n) = 1
                Else
                    lstbox(n) = 0
                End If
                n += 1
            Loop Until n = 10
        End If

Please help!

Why don’t you use

VB Code:

Dim indexArray(Me.ListBox1.SelectedIndices.Count - 1) As Integer
Me.ListBox1.SelectedIndices.CopyTo(indexArray, 0)

Oh, an urgent problem. Better answer this one quick because all the others are so much less important. :rolleyes:

You get the items that are selected from the ListBox's SelectedItems property. If you just want to know whether a specific item is selected then you use the GetSelected property.

I honestly don’t understand the purpose of having an array to keep a record of selected indexes. You can get the info at any time you call the Me.ListBox1.SelectedIndices method.
