multiple selection in a list box

[steve_rm]

Hello

I am using the code below to add multiple items from a list box called lstNamesToAdd to another list box called lstNames.

I click multiple items and then click a button to add them. The code does not work. Can anyone tell me the best way to this

lstName.Items.Add(lstNameToAdd.SelectItems);
lstNamesToAdd.Items.Remove(lstNamesToAdd.SelectedItems);

Question 2
Does C# use a inputbox to accept input from a user?

Many thanks in advance

Steve

for the listbox question ...

[color=green]// add the items[/color]
        [color=blue]private void[/color] button1_Click([color=blue]object[/color] sender, System.EventArgs e)
        {
            [color=blue]string[/color][] li = {"item 1","item 2","item 3" , "item 4"};
            listBox1.Items.AddRange(li); [color=green]//  adds the group of items to the listbox in 1 go.[/color]
        }
 
[color=green]// then to remove the items...[/color]
        [color=blue]private void[/color] button2_Click([color=blue]object[/color] sender, System.EventArgs e)
        {
            [color=blue]string[/color][] li = {"item 1","item 2","item 3" , "item 4"};
            [color=blue]foreach[/color]([color=blue]string[/color] s [color=blue]in[/color] li)
            {
                listBox1.Items.Remove(s);
            }
        }

you shouldnt use InputBox's ( as in the vb6 type ) in .Net, the best way is to create your own custom boxes ( with Forms )
hope this helps.

Here is another example

string[] itemsToRemove = new string[lstNamesToAdd.SelectedItems.Count];
lstNamesToAdd.SelectedItems.CopyTo(itemsToRemove, 0);
								
foreach(string item in lstNamesToAdd.SelectedItems)
{
	lstNAme.Items.Add(item);
}

foreach(string item in itemsToRemove)
{
	lstNamesToAdd.Items.Remove(item);
}
