ListBox I need the help

[Tamgovb]

Hi All

I have something like this

Option Explicit
 
Private Declare Function SendMessage Lib "user32" Alias _
        "SendMessageA" (ByVal hwnd As Long, ByVal wMsg As _
        Long, ByVal wParam As Long, lParam As Any) As Long
 
Const LB_ITEMFROMPOINT = &H1A9
 
Private Sub Form_Load()
  List1.AddItem "Marina"
  List1.AddItem "Phill"
  List1.AddItem "Karla"
  List1.AddItem "Mark"
  List1.AddItem "Antonio"
  List1.AddItem "Theo"
  
  List1.ListIndex = 0
End Sub
 
Private Sub List1_MouseMove(Button As Integer, Shift As Integer, _
                            X As Single, Y As Single)
  Dim P&, LX&, LY&, Param&
      
    LX = List1.Parent.ScaleX(X, List1.Parent.ScaleMode, vbPixels)
    LY = List1.Parent.ScaleY(Y, List1.Parent.ScaleMode, vbPixels)
    Param = CLng(LX) + &H10000 * CLng(LY)
 
    P = SendMessage(List1.hwnd, LB_ITEMFROMPOINT, 0, ByVal Param)
    If P < List1.ListCount Then List1.ListIndex = P
End Sub

how to switch off procedure (Private Sub List1_MouseMove) after clicking on a chosen an item. I not want after chosen and clicking on a some item to highlight it already other of item in this list.

Thanks in advance

Try something like

Option Explicit
 
Private blnHasSelected As Boolean
 
Private Declare Function SendMessage Lib "user32" Alias _
        "SendMessageA" (ByVal hwnd As Long, ByVal wMsg As _
        Long, ByVal wParam As Long, lParam As Any) As Long
 
Const LB_ITEMFROMPOINT = &H1A9
 
Private Sub Form_Load()
  List1.AddItem "Marina"
  List1.AddItem "Phill"
  List1.AddItem "Karla"
  List1.AddItem "Mark"
  List1.AddItem "Antonio"
  List1.AddItem "Theo"
  
  List1.ListIndex = 0
End Sub
 
Private Sub List1_Click()
blnHasSelected = True
End Sub
 
Private Sub List1_MouseMove(Button As Integer, Shift As Integer, _
                            X As Single, Y As Single)
  Dim P&, LX&, LY&, Param&
   If blnHasSelected = True The Exit Sub
   
    LX = List1.Parent.ScaleX(X, List1.Parent.ScaleMode, vbPixels)
    LY = List1.Parent.ScaleY(Y, List1.Parent.ScaleMode, vbPixels)
    Param = CLng(LX) + &H10000 * CLng(LY)
 
    P = SendMessage(List1.hwnd, LB_ITEMFROMPOINT, 0, ByVal Param)
    If P < List1.ListCount Then List1.ListIndex = P
End Sub

Hi Hack.
Thanks for quick reply

I made a bit in other way, because in this code that you gave me this does not want to work like I want.
I make it (blnHasSelected = True) in event Mouse_Up because this Click event it happens already in Load event. However I made again the work for this procedure in event Mouse_Move for Form. I seem me that I made it okay. It fine work for me.

have a look, only in this a bit the code:

Private Sub Form_MouseMove(Button As Integer, Shift As Integer, X As Single, Y As Single)
blnHasSelected = False
End Sub
 
Private Sub List1_MouseMove(Button As Integer, Shift As Integer, _
                            X As Single, Y As Single)
                            
  If blnHasSelected = False Then  '<<< it I changed here on a False
  
    Dim P&, LX&, LY&, Param&
      
    LX = List1.Parent.ScaleX(X, List1.Parent.ScaleMode, vbPixels)
    LY = List1.Parent.ScaleY(Y, List1.Parent.ScaleMode, vbPixels)
    Param = CLng(LX) + &H10000 * CLng(LY)
 
    P = SendMessage(List1.hwnd, LB_ITEMFROMPOINT, 0, ByVal Param)
    If P < List1.ListCount Then List1.ListIndex = P
  End If
End Sub
 
Private Sub List1_MouseUp(Button As Integer, Shift As Integer, X As Single, Y As Single)
blnHasSelected = True
End Sub

Again very thanks, Hack
