[SOLVED] List1 Multiselect

Hi guys,

Im using this code to remove multiselected items :

For i = 0 To List1.ListCount

If List1.Selected(i) = true Then
List1.RemoveItem List1.ListIndex
End If

Next i

What i would like to to is to....remove all the non selected items.
I know it could be done by moving the selected ones to a new box and then back to the old one.

But is there a cleaner way? i tried the .selected(i)=false then .remove .List1.ListIndex but no luck

any ideas?

cheers

I don't think the code you posted will work for either selected state. There are 3 problems:
1. The upper bound of the list is ListCount - 1 since the array of ListItems is zero-based.
2. You are removing the ListIndex item instead of the item at index i (your loop iterator).
3. If you remove items in a For loop controlled by the original ListCount, you will eventually reach an invalid index number.

Here's some code that will work. Notice that the loop is iterated backwards, starting with the highest index. This insures that the removal of an item doesn't affect the index of the next item being assessed.

Code:

---

Private Sub RemoveListItems(ByVal SelectedState As Boolean)

  Dim i As Long
     
  For i = List1.ListCount - 1 To 0 Step -1
      If List1.Selected(i) = SelectedState Then
        List1.RemoveItem i
      End If
  Next i
 
End Sub
