List Boxes

[clintc10]

i want to convert text box inputs into a list box. i have 7 text boxes like; fname, lname , email, phone, etc


how would would i call those textboxes into a list box. also it it possible to make headers for the the listbox.

Thanks for the help!

If you are talking about headers for a Listbox, think about using either a DataGridView or a ListView (in Detail mode) instead. Both of those have headers, whereas a Listbox will not.

And considering that suggestion, there is hardly any point in answering the original question. After all, if you decide that headers are important, then the means of entering data into a listbox isn't important, since entering data into a ListView or DGV would be considerably different, so which would you really like?

what i was trying to say was if i enter the data

each input has a seperate textbox for name , email, phone, how would i get that information into a listbox. So whatever the enter will be put in to the listbox.

You can do

ListBox1.Items.Add Textbox1.text & " " & Textbox2.Text & " " & TextBox3.text

But, as ShaggyHiker points out, you can't do headers with a listbox and your entries will not be uniform.

I echo the suggestion of switching to either a datagridview or a Listview (in Details mode)

Your question is a bit confusing? As Shaggy said ListBox doesnt have headers, so DGV would be a better option if your looking for Headers

In your post#3 you seem to be asking how to get TextBox info into a list box and doesnt mention headers?
With that said here is simple idea to put textbox info into to a list box

Me.ListBox1.Items.Add(Me.TextBox1.Text)
        Me.ListBox1.Items.Add(Me.TextBox2.Text)

Hope this helps

you mean your textboxes are on different forms? try to be more clear when asking a question, take a few extra minutes to write out your question and re-read it to yourself and ask yourself, if you were reading it would it make sense to you??

If you have textboxes on seperate form

just reference the form


Form3.TextBox1.Text etc.. (Form3)or what ever form the textbox is on

MembersForm.MemberListBox.Items.Add(FNameTextBox.Text & " " & LNameTextBox.Text)


This is what i have and it is not working.

I have a membership form and a members form.

The textboxes are in the membership form and the listobx is on the members form.

Dont know what form your code is on but you probably need to reference the textboxes like this

Membership.FNameTextBox1.Text & "" & Membership.LNameTextBox.Text
