Listbox values

Güten abends.

I could use some help on how to define a value for a ListBox choice. I've started making a little program called Message Maker, where I construct Windows dialouges.
some example code:

MsgBox txtMessage, ,txtTitle

As you can see I got the values I need for the Title and the message, but I still need to know how too get a value out of a listbox and putting it in there between the commas.
For example I have a value in a listbox called "OK", I want that value type in vbOkOnly between the commas.
Does anybody know how to? BTW, is there any good beginners forums around?

Hey!

Guys (and girls), I really need to know how to do this, and it's quite urgent.. Maybe I should refraze the question a little
I need to know how to make ListBox choice to put in the string = vbOkOnly in a line of code. I want it to look like this:

MsgBox "Message", vbOkOnly,"Title"

Please reply, even if you don't know what the heck you're talking about, reply anyway.

from what i understood, a think this is what you need:

Private Sub Command1_Click()
    If List1.Text = "vbOkOnly" Then
        MsgBox "message", vbOKOnly, "Title"
    Else
        If List1.Text = "VbYesNo" Then
            MsgBox "Message", vbYesNo, "title"
            'etc........
        End If
    End If
End Sub

Thanks for the tip, there's gonna be alot o Ifs, do you think I can do it with the Select Case thingie? I'll just go ahead and try it.

Sure, why not?

Select Case List1.Text
    Case "vbOkOnly"
        MsgBox "message", vbOKOnly, "Title"
    Case "VbYesNo"
            MsgBox "Message", vbYesNo, "title"
End Select

A tip for Visual Programmer:
ElseIf

Private Sub Command1_Click()
    If List1.Text = "vbOkOnly" Then
        MsgBox "message", vbOKOnly, "Title"
    ElseIf List1.Text = "VbYesNo" Then
            MsgBox "Message", vbYesNo, "title"
            'etc........
    End If
End Sub

Have fun both of you

Actually, you don't need to test with Ifs or Select Case. Whatever the user selected in the listbox can be read with the Listbox's Text property (or with the List array property). In other words, you can reference the user's selection either as
List1.Text
- or -
List1.List(List1.ListIndex)

So your code can be;

MsgBox "message", List1.Text, "Title"

Hello,

Try this code in the ListBox click event:

Select Case lst1.ListIndex
Case 0
MsgBox "message", vbOKOnly, "Title"
Case 1
MsgBox "message", vbOKCancel, "Title"
End Select
End Sub

Use the AddItem method in the FormLoad event to fill
the ListBox with vbOKOnly,vbOKCancel, etc. Then just
click on the one you want to use.

Good luck
