Save Textbox and Listbox in one file (VB3)

[Matt-D]

In my programm there's listlox (List1), which I can save in
a Text-File. Now I want to add a textbox, in which the user
can write his name or something else. Now I want, that
this textbox is the first line of the textfile and the following lines are from the listbox.

1. How is the code for saving it ?
2. How must I write the code, that the first line gets
into a textbox and the rest into the listbox when I open the
file ?


For this programm I use VB 3.0 (but normally this isn't a problem)

Thanks for some advice, Matt

Hi Matt-D.

If I understand your questions correctly, this code should do the trick. To test it, create a new project with a textbox, listbox and a command button.

Option Explicit

Private Sub Command1_Click()
    Dim iCounter As Integer
    Open "c:\windows\desktop\myfile.txt" For Output As #1
    Write #1, Text1
    
    For iCounter = 0 To List1.ListCount - 1
        Write #1, List1.List(iCounter)
    Next iCounter
    MsgBox "All Done"
End Sub

Private Sub Form_Load()
    List1.AddItem "one"
    List1.AddItem "two"
    List1.AddItem "three"
End Sub

If you need more help, just re-post.

All the best.

first put the text file into the listbox
Private Sub OpenToolStripMenuItem_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles OpenToolStripMenuItem.Click

OpenFileDialog1.Filter = "Text Files (*.TXT)|*.TXT" 'looks for files ending in TXT
OpenFileDialog1.ShowDialog() 'Common dialog
If OpenFileDialog1.FileName <> "" Then 'Is there a real filename
FileOpen(1, OpenFileDialog1.FileName, OpenMode.Input) 'if so open the file for input
Call ReadFile() 'a subroutine to read the file
End If
On Error Resume Next
FileClose()

End Sub
-------------------
Sub ReadFile()

While Not EOF(1)
ListBox1.Items.Add(LineInput(1)) 'text items in file go into listbox
End While

End Sub

--------------------------------
hope this helps

Well the procedure is the same whether is VB3/4/5 or 6. As explained by OneSource.

It's almost 9 years later - I really hope he doesn't actually care about this any more.
