VB5 - Save List Values To Text File

[PGTibs]

How do i go about saving the values in a list into a text file and then the text file list also displaying in the list?

Example, I've got a list with a text box and button to add the text into the list but i want to be able to save this list into a text file and then for the list to display the text file when i reopen the form.

Add the following code to your existing:

Option Explicit

'populate list when form loads
Private Sub Form_Load()
Dim strLine As String

    If Not Dir(App.Path & "items.txt") = "" Then
        Open App.Path & "items.txt" For Input As #1
            Do While Not EOF(1)
                Line Input #1, strLine
                List1.AddItem strLine
            Loop
        Close #1
    End If

End Sub

'save list - you'll have to add command button to your form and name it btnSaveList
Private Sub btnSaveList_Click()
Dim i As Integer

    If List1.ListCount = 0 Then Exit Sub
    
    Open App.Path & "items.txt" For Output As #1
        For i = 0 To List1.ListCount - 1
            Print #1, List1.List(i)
        Next i
    Close #1

End Sub
