[RESOLVED] Print data from a ListBox (?)

Hi there. I was just wondering if there was a way for me to copy each item in a ListBox to a TextBox.

I am making a Pin Number Generator Application and all the Pin numbers get added into a ListBox.

I want to copy all the data in the ListBox into a TextBox. Prefferibly one pin on a line in the TextBox.

This is so I could save all of the pin numbers into a text file.

The TextBox will be called txtBox and the ListBox is called lstPass.

Thanks to those who can help me. Also i would be greatful if you could comment the code.


Thanks in advanced.
Alistair.

The above is pretty simple. Maybe you should show us what you have tried. A vast majority of the people here can help on this one.

i think you wanna put all list items finaly in a text file, right
here's d code

Code:

---

Dim i As Integer
Dim fileNum As Integer

 fileNum = FreeFile()
    Open "C:\" & "\list.txt" For Output As #fileNum
        For i = 0 To List1.ListCount - 1
            Print #fileNum, List1.List(i)
        Next i
    Close #fileNum

---

put this code into a command button or something...
hope it will work

Do reply

Thanks LaVolpe. I have not tried anything because i have no idea how to do it.

1) I have a commmand button that generates the passwords and populates the listbox.

I want to add an another command button to add all of the items in the listbox into a textbox so i can save them to a text file.

I don't know if there is a way of copying everything from the listbox into a file without a textbox.


Thanks.
Alistair.

Have u read my reply!!!!!!\

Thanks Jimq. Do i need to put:

Dim i As Integer
Dim fileNum As Integer

Into the General Declerations or the CommandButton Sub? Or does it not really matter?

nywhr u want

Jimq: Does the file need to be made first before it can get saved?

Sorry i'm a bit silly!

Design a form with two command buttons, a list box and a text box. Set the MultiLine property of the textbox to True and and add a vertical scrollbar. Then apply this code:

Code:

---

Const ListSize = 20
Private Sub Command1_Click()
' Write List Box Contents to File and to Text Box
Open "MyDataFile" For Output As #1
For I = 1 To List1.ListCount
    Text1.Text = Text1.Text & List1.List(I - 1) & vbCrLf
    Print #1, List1.List(I - 1)
Next
Close
End Sub

Private Sub Command2_Click()
' Read File and Build List Box with Contents
Dim MyData As String, ArrItem() As String
List1.Clear
Text1.Text = vbNullString
Open "MyDataFile" For Input As #1
MyData = Input(LOF(1), #1)
ArrItem = Split(MyData, vbCrLf)
For I = 0 To UBound(ArrItem) - 1
    List1.AddItem ArrItem(I)
Next
Close
MsgBox "List Box has " & List1.ListCount & " items."
End Sub

Private Sub Form_Load()
' Build List Box
For I = 1 To ListSize
    List1.AddItem I
Next
Text1.Text = vbNullString
End Sub

Keep up the good work.
