Writing selected items from listbox to textbox

Hello world!!!

How can I write all the selected item of the listbox to a textbox? For e.g. I have these items from a listbox:

-rey
-john
-jane
-mike
-ken
-blen

If I selected rey and jane, the output of the textbox should be rey, jane else the output is All
By the way, my listbox's style is 1-Checkbox.

This is my sample code

Code:

---

Private Sub cmdOK_Click()
    If chkAll.Value = 1 Then
        txtName.Text = "All"
    Else
        txtName.Text = lstNames.Text
    End If

---

Please guide me. thanks

You need something like

Code:

---

Private Sub cmdOK_Click()
Dim i As Long
    If chkAll.Value = 1 Then
        txtName.Text = "All"
    Else
        For i = 0 To lstNames.ListCount - 1
            If lstNames.Selected(i) = True Then
                txtName.Text = txtName.Text & lstNames.List(i) & vbCrLf
            End If
        Next
End If

An extension of Hack's code:

Code:

---

Dim MyNames() As String
Const ListSize = 5

Private Sub Command1_Click()
Text1.Text = vbNullString
For I = 0 To List1.ListCount - 1
    If List1.Selected(I) = True Then Text1.Text = Text1.Text & List1.List(I) & vbCrLf
Next
If Text1.Text = vbNullString Then ' Nothing selected, so take them all
    For I = 0 To List1.ListCount - 1
        Text1.Text = Text1.Text & List1.List(I) & vbCrLf
    Next
End If
End Sub

Private Sub Form_Load()
ReDim MyNames(ListSize)
MyNames(0) = "-rey"
MyNames(1) = "-john"
MyNames(2) = "-jane"
MyNames(3) = "-mike"
MyNames(4) = "-ken"
MyNames(5) = "-blen"
For I = 0 To ListSize
    List1.AddItem MyNames(I)
Next
Text1.Text = vbNullString
End Sub

Private Sub List1_Click()
List1.Selected(List1.ListIndex) = True
End Sub

I select an item with each click on the list. Then I clear the text box each time the command button is pressed so that you can add to the list of selections.

The selection could also be done with a "Select" command button press. If so, then you may want to add an "Unselect" command button so that if the name in the list is selected, it can be deselected with a button press if the index is at that location. The Unselect button could be enabled only if the ListIndex is located on an item that has already been selected and disabled if the index is located on an item that has not been selected.

@Code Doc: in case there's no selected items your first loop is irrelevant (and can take quite some time). Use the .SelCount property:

Code:

---

Private Sub Command1_Click()
  Text1.Text = vbNullString
 
  If List1.SelCount Then
    For I = 0 To List1.ListCount - 1
      If List1.Selected(I) = True Then Text1.Text = Text1.Text & List1.List(I) & vbCrLf
    Next
  Else
    For I = 0 To List1.ListCount - 1
      Text1.Text = Text1.Text & List1.List(I) & vbCrLf
    Next
  End If
End Sub

Thanks a lot guys!!!
Now I'll try it a little bit later. :)

BTW, Happy Valentines Day!

Terrific idea! I forgot about the .SelCount property. Thanks, Gavio! :thumb:

You might want to throw in a if
If list1.lisIndex = -1 then
msgbox "No item selected"
end if
