********Add up numeric values in a listbox*******

[mykg4orce]

Easily, how can I add up numeric values in a listbox and display the total in a text field.

i.e lets say this is my list box

------------------
0.75
0.95
1.25
3
1.55
------------------

how can the total or sum be found.

dim counter as integer
dim tempAnswer as integer
tempAnswer = 0
for counter = 0 to 4
      List1.listindex = counter
      TempAnswer = tempanswer + val(list1.text)
next counter
text1.text = tempanswer

I didn't have time to test that so I hope it works

dim counter as single
dim tempAnswer as single
tempAnswer = 0
for counter = 0 to 4
      List1.listindex = counter
      TempAnswer = tempanswer + val(list1.text)
next counter
text1.text = tempanswer

I didn't test it but it should be singles instead of integers

why is the "counter = 0 to 4", why is it 0 to 4??

It is 0 to 4 because you have 5 values in your listbox and the listindex starts with 0, therefore you have 0 to 4. To account for all 5 values.

yes but what if the number on items in the listbox are undetermined and are added to everytime.

the reason i say is because i am working or a program used to keep a total of daily sales made in a store. so everytime a receipt is calculated the total is added to the this listbox and this happens everytime a new receipt is calculated, in turn i need to calculate a daily total, for that i must find a way of adding all the values in the listbox and displaying a daily total in the text field.

thanks

In that case you would use 0 to list1.ListCount instead of some number. The ListCount property gives you the number of values in your Listbox. So you would say counter = 0 to List1.ListCount

You will use
counter = 0 to List1.ListCount-1
listcount starts at 1 while the list starts at 0.
