List Box Question

[JPRoy392]

I need to know if any occurance of a list box contains the string "Black". So far, I found out to find the first occurance, but if there are multiple items in a list box, I don't want to test each individual item in a list. There must be an easier way. My code so far:

 If Ink.List(0) = "Black" Then
            MsgBox "test succeed"
 End If

I don't want to:

 If Ink.List(0) = "Black" or Ink.List(1) = "Black" Then
            MsgBox "test succeed"
 End If

Thank you for any help.

You don't want to check each listbox entry individualy, but how about a loop to check it? it's not that much work!

Private Sub Form_Load()
Static x As Long
'Add some stuff
List1.AddItem "jop"
List1.AddItem "JPRoy392"
List1.AddItem "black"
List1.AddItem "white"
List1.AddItem "green"

'Loop trough all listItems
For x = 0 To List1.ListCount
If List1.List(x) = "black" Then
'If black then show
MsgBox "Listbox item " & x & " is black"
End If
Next
End Sub

Have fun!

Oh and if you really insist not checking all the listbox items you always have the api!
