ListBoxes

[Tanaht]

Hi again. I'm in a bit of trouble. The project I'm working on needs the use of listboxes, but I haven't the slightest idea how to use them. Could anyone give me a quick overview?

Okay, here are the most usable functions of a listbox, to try this project, do the following:

- Make a new project

- Add a listbox-control

- Add three command-buttons

- Add this code:

Private Sub Command1_Click()
List1.AddItem InputBox("Type something", "New list item", "hello world")
End Sub

Private Sub Command2_Click()
For x = 0 To List1.ListCount - 1
    If List1.ListCount = 0 Then Exit For
    If List1.Selected(x) Then
        MsgBox "The data: " & List1.List(x) & " is selected."
        Exit For
    End If
Next x
End Sub

Private Sub Command3_Click()
List1.Clear
End Sub

Hitting the first button will ask you for any text which will be added as a row in the listbox. The second button will show you what's selected, if empty or if none selected it doesn't do anything. Third button will clear the listbox.


This should get your running...

By the way, what you need to do with the ListBox Control? The ListBox control only can list all the Item that you've added into thier list, either at Design Time or Runtime.
