Cancel a Click event

[vbgladiator]

Hi,

Let's say that a user clicks on a listbox's item, the click event is generated. What if after some validation, the program should move back to the previous index because something is missing etc.

How can I cancel a click event?
I tried to change the listindex to the old one, but that generates another click event.

Thanks,

I dont know what you mean. Is it just during a process that you want the user to be unable to click on the listbox? Please be more specific, in the mean time would this work -

List1.Enabled = False

set a boolean variable to false, then change the listindex then set the variable back to true. Test the variable on entry to the click even and if it's false, exit immediately

Yep the boolean idea is the best way to go. I do this all the time with data validation and such.
