    [2005] Iterate Through MultiSelect ListBox

    I have a multiselect Listbox on a Form. I need to iterate through this listbox and do something with all of the items that have been selected. Nothing I've tried has worked. Here is my lastest attempt.
    vb.net Code:
    1. Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
    2. Dim item As Object
    3.   For i As Integer = ListBox1.Items.Count - 1 To 0 Step -1
    4.     If ListBox1.SelectedItems(i) = True Then
    5.        'do something with them
    6.     End If
    7. Next
    8.  
    9. End Sub
    So, how do I go through the entire listbox and do my thing what all of the items that have been selected?

    Why would you want to use the .SelectedItems collection and try to loop through all the items? You only need to loop through the selecteditems collection.
