(? Help) Change Listbox Selected Text Without .additem Or .remove Item


Hi, I browsed through posts and didnt see this question elsewhere so I hope I didnt miss it if it was answered already. If so im sorry.

I was wondering if there is anyway to change the selected text entry for a list box without adding or removing an item.

Example: If there were these options in a list box:

A
B
C

and "B" had been selected by the user is there anyway to change "B" to "D" without using the .additem or the .remove command? If you need me to restate or clarify what im asking please let me know and Ill repost as soon as I see it. Thanks for any help I get in advance.


- Sidenote: I would use a loop and simply add them into another list box and back into that one in a different in the correct order but theres some sticky and touchy coding done on the list box's _click statement that really wouldnt make such a loop possible....if this sidenote didnt make sense sorry its 5 am .

Listbox: Change Text Of Selected Item
hi all,

just wondering if anyone knows a way of changing the text of the selcected item in a list box?

for example: if i have a listbox with the following list items:

one
two
three
four

and "two" is selected, and i need to change its text to "this one".

i would like to avoid regenerating the list by clearing it and adding all the items again if possible.


thanks for your time and consideration,

Change ComboBox Text When Item Selected
I though this would be easy, I have a ComboBox style set to 0, and the list is populated from a dB. What I want to do is have the default Text change to the selected item when the list reloads. Here is the code;
Code:' Populate the Type list
    cboEntryType.Clear
    If Len(sqlQuery) > 2 Then
        cboEntryType.Text = sqlQuery
    Else
        cboEntryType.Text = " All"
    End If
    
    For i = 0 To m_TypeRows

    str9 = " " & m_varTypes(0, i) & " " ' Entry Types
        cboEntryType.AddItem str9
    Next
sqlQuery is a parameter sent to another function that returns the ListItems, if I set a watch on the var sqlQuery it does indeed have a valid value, but when the box is displayed the Text is " " with focus on the box.

Populate A Listbox Based On A Selected Item In Another Listbox
Ok...I am stumped.

I have a single form that has 3 list boxes. I have 4 public strings containing various values. Based on the selection from lstBox1, I need to populate the ListBox2 and ListBox3 list from values in the public strings. Clear as mud?? That is what I thought!

Example string variable

strLuxury = """Hand Wash"" ""Hand Wax"" ""Check Engine Fluids"" ""Detail Engine Compartment"" ""Detail Under Carriage"" ""Fragrance"" ""Shampoo Carpets"" ""Shampoo Upholstery"" ""Scotchgard"""

ListBox1 contains the following:

Standard
Deluxe
Executive
Luxury

ListBox2 is empty, but is contained in a frame indicating Exterior Options
ListBox3 is empty, but is contained in a frame indicating Interior Options

If Luxury is selected in ListBox1, then ListBox2 should contain
Hand Wash
Hand Wax
Check Engine Fluids
Detail Engine Compartment
Detain Under Carriage

And ListBox3 should contain
Fragrance
Shampoo Carpets
Shampoo Upholstery
Scotchgard

If Fragrance is present in ListBox3, a seperate dropdown box should appear allowing selection of the appropriate scent.

Yes, this is a homework assingment.

Thank you in advance for your help!

Remove Non Selected Listbox Items
I have a list box which allows you to select multiple items. I'd like to then have the option of removing all items that are not selected.

Here is what I have...


Code:

'remove any non selected items
For i = 0 To lstOccup.Items.Count - 1
found = False
For j = 0 To lstOccup.SelectedItems.Count - 1
If lstOccup.Items(i).ToString = lstOccup.SelectedItems(j).ToString Then
found = True
End If
Next
If found = False Then
lstOccup.Items.RemoveAt(i)
End If
Next



This doesn't work because once I use RemoveAt it means the for loops no longer work.

Always Have Last Item In Listbox Selected
How can I make it so the last item in a listbox be selected, even after new items are added. For instance, lets say I had four items in a listbox like this:

I'm one
I'm two
I'm three
I'm four

At this point I'd want "I'm four" to be selected and if I added another item like this:

I'm one
I'm two
I'm three
I'm four
I'm five

Then at this point I would want "I'm five" to be selected. Does anyone know of a way to do this ?

Thanks in advance for any help!

Remove Item From Listbox
In the list box, I want to remove selected items and retain the other items in the same positions in which they existed before removal.
For example, consider a listbox having 10 items. Suppose I remove the 7th item, 8th, 9th & 10th items should remain in the same position. 8th to 10th items should not move up in the list. 7th item will not have any values.
How can this be done?

Remove Item From Listbox
Well, this is probably easy but I'm stumped and was wondering if I could get some help.

I have a list box that fills with entries from a database.

Now I need to look to see if a particular entry is there and remove it from the list.

For example, if the word "cat" get's loaded into the listbox, find it and remove it.

I tried some code like this but it didn't work.


Code:
Dim b As Integer

For b = 0 To lstHours.ListCount - 1
If lstHours.Text = "11 kach shop time" Then
lstHours.RemoveItem (b)
End If
Next b


now is my code totally off? Does the spaces in the text keep it from working?
Essentially "11 kach shop time" will show up in the list and I want to remove it wherever it shows up and leave all the other items intact.

Remove Item From Listbox
I have two listboxes that are filled from collection classes.  When the user selects from Listbox1 and clicks Insert, the selected item goes into Listbox2 and gets saved in that collection.

I can't seem to remove the item from Listbox1, doesn't have to remove from the collection, just remove from the list. The code below fills the listboxes for a selected Customer but I want to omit any items in Listbox1 that are in Listbox2.

Scroll To Selected Item In Listbox
Hi guys,

I'm in Access. I have a form with a listbox and a combobox with the same values. The user selects the value in combobox, clicks the button, and the same item gets selected in the listbox. The problem is that the listbox doesn't scroll to the selected item automatically. Here is my code:

For i = 0 To Me.storeNumber.ListCount - 1
If Me.storeNumCombo.Value = Me.storeNumber.ItemData(i) Then
Me.storeNumber.Selected(i) = True
End If
Next i

This code selects an item in the listbox every time I press the button leaving previously selected items selected too.

I've been looking for solution suitable for me and found this code:

For i = 0 To Me.storeNumber.ListCount - 1
If Me.storeNumCombo.Value = Me.storeNumber.ItemData(i) Then
Me.storeNumber.setFocus
Me.storeNumber.ListIndex = i
End If
Next i

It does scroll to the selected item. However, every time I click the button it clears previously selected item and selects the new one that I selected in combobox. And I don't need that clearing. Any ideas on how to avoid this? Thanks in advance.

Changing Value Of Item Selected In Listbox

If anyone can help I'd be greatly appreciative!

Selected Listbox Item Into A Second Funcion.
I looked everywhere and didn't find an clues to solve my problem. One of wksheets as all my items listed alphabetically. Column A all the a's, B all the b's, etc. I have a userform with a listbox that displays one of my columns based on which letter the user chooses (from my main userform). Each column has a different number of entries, so each respective listbox has a different number of lines in it.

On the same userform (with the listbox) I have a command button that runs a search and display function based on what item is selected in the listbox.
Basically this funcion searches for whatever item name is selected in the list box (the actual text).

I cannot figure out how to get my selected listbox line to display its text in my second function

If C.Value Like "item name" Then.....

So I need the text from the listbox item, to display as item name in my second function

Any help is awesome. Thanks in advance.

Showing A Selected Item In A Listbox
I've got a textbox which the user can input text. I also have a list of already existing items. Doing the search for the item, isn't a problem. However, I wish to select the item, and then make sure it is in the visible portion of the list box.
Actually, getting the item selected isn't a problem. It's getting the selected item into the visible portion of the listbox that is giving me problems. Anyone have any ideas?

Removing A Selected Item From Listbox
I'm not familiar with using the For statement but I gave it a try.

Next

This didn't work. It gave me an error on lstsFiles.RemoveItem (i). I assume I have it wrong. I removed that line of code, ran it and it froze VB. Now I've gotta restart my program.

I am doing it using listcount, and index but I get the feeling I am making it way more complicated then it needs to be. If you have an answer could you throw it in an if statement so that it will put up a msg box saying either "Last item selected", or "Last item not selected". ~Many Thank, Bryan J. Casler
