Listbox highlighting??????

[Egg]

If I have a multiselectable listbox...

How do you programmatically/runtime, highlight an
item in a listbox??? (could be more than one thats why I allowed multiselect)

Cheers

List1.Selected(2) = True
List1.Selected(5) = True
List1.Selected(8) = True

Doesnt that force a List_Click call????

I dont want that....

Why don't you want that? got code in the List1_Click event?

Then just use a boolean to tell the Event it's passed by code!

Private ByCode As Boolean

Private Sub HighLight()
'Tell it it's called by code
ByCode = True
'Highlight the items
   List1.Selected(2) = True
   List1.Selected(5) = True
   List1.Selected(8) = True
'End telling it's by code
ByCode = False
End Sub

Private Sub List1_Click()
'If it's called by code don't do anything!
If Bycode = True Then Exit Sub
'... rest of your code here
End Sub

Yeah Ive got that but I was wondering if there was a better/neater way of doing it...

Thanks anyway!

Yeah there's probably is a complicated API way, but this works.

Maybe http://www.mvps.org/vbnet/ has some API ways, but I don't know if it's worth the surfing
