Need Urgent Help Adding Several Info Into Item In Listbox
I have used the following code to add a filename to the visible part of a listbox and the part to the "container" or the invisible part of the listbox (the same item location)

But now i need to extract the path info and cant find out how to do that right.
What i do is that i select an item in the list,and when doubleclicking that, a msgbox with pathinfo should appear. but it doesnt! Only error appears (that ive used something wrong)

VB Code:
Private Sub Command1_Click()For i = 0 To File1.ListCountIf File1.List(i) > "" ThenList1.AddItem File1.List(i) 'this add filename to visible part.ReDim Preserve strPath(List1.ListCount - 1)strPath(List1.NewIndex) = File1.Path 'this add path to invisible.End IfNext iEnd Sub

Please help me !!!

Search A Listbox For A String Before Adding Item
I have a listbox, and the user can add items to it by entering text into a textbox and clicking a label. Before an item is added though, I want to check to see if it already exists.

Declarations:
Code:
Private Const LB_FINDSTRING = &H18F
Private Const LB_FINDSTRINGEXACT = &H1A2
Private Declare Function SendMessageString Lib "User32" Alias "SendMessageA" (ByVal hWnd As Long, ByVal wMsg As Long, ByVal wParam As Long, ByVal lParam As String) As Long

Label Click:
Code:

Dim Index As Long
Dim Find As String
Dim I As Integer
For I = 0 To List1.ListCount - 1
    List1.Selected(I) = True
    Find = List1.Text
    Index = SendMessageString(List1.hWnd, LB_FINDSTRINGEXACT, -1, Find)
If Index > -1 Then
    List1.ListIndex = Index
Exit Sub
End If
Next
    List1.AddItem (TXTList.Text)

The problem is, after I have added my first item it will not let me add anymore because it exits the sub as it has found a match, when really there is no match to find.

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!

Listbox Name Showing Up As First Item In Listbox?
For some reason the listbox I've just added to my form shows the name of the listbox in itself at design time. At run-time, the name of the listbox shows up as the first item in the list.

I've tried looking for a CAPTION or TEXT property but neither seem to be present. Any ideas as to how to fix this?

Listbox To Listbox - Adding Index
I have on my form two listboxes: list1 and list2 and a button cmdGo

The item data placed in list one is placed there at runtime so therefore with no index values. When I press the go button I want each item from the first list box to go into the second list box BUT as the items go in I want to set index values because I need to form a string at a later stage and will need to keep adding until all items are added (until index is reached)

This is my code so far:

Private Sub Form_Load()
List1.AddItem "David"
List1.AddItem "Paul"
List1.AddItem "Sarah"
End Sub

Private Sub CmdGo_Click()
Dim x As Integer
Dim i As Integer
With List1
For x = List1.ListCount - 1 To 0 Step -1
List2.AddItem List1.Text
List2.ItemData(List2.NewIndex) = i
Next x
End With
End Sub

As you can see all is not well with the code and I am starting to pull my hair out - Any ideas?

Add Item To ListBox
I'm trying to write a winsock program (but the actual problem doesn't have anything [at least I don't think] to do with Winsock, so I'm posting here). It is a LAN based IM system, and on the server side, it has a list box with connected users. What I'm trying to do is to add the user based on the index of the Winsock object, but I get an "Invalid Procedure Call or Argument" error on that line.

lstUsers.AddItem user(0), Index

user(0) is the user's name, and Index is the Index of the Winsock Object. When I comment out/take out the ", Index" part, the program rusn with no error. Where did I go wrong?

Move ListBox Item Up Or Down
Just wanted to make a small contribution to the forum. I looked around for this but didn't find anything really to my liking, so here's my version...

Code:
''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
'Move Selected listbox item up or down
''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
Option Explicit
const UP as integer = -1
const DOWN as integer = 1

Private Sub btnUp_Click()

If Me.lstDisplayCols.ListCount > 1 Then
Call MoveListItem(UP, Me.lstDisplayCols)
End If

End Sub

Private Sub btnDown_Click()

If Me.lstDisplayCols.ListCount > 1 Then
Call MoveListItem(DOWN, Me.lstDisplayCols)
End If

End Sub

Private Sub MoveListItem(ByVal intDirection As Integer, _
ByRef lstListBox As ListBox)

Dim intNewPosition As Integer
Dim strTemp As String

intNewPosition = lstListBox.ListIndex + intDirection
strTemp = lstListBox.List(intNewPosition)

If intNewPosition > -1 _
And intNewPosition < lstListBox.ListCount Then

'Swap listbox items
lstListBox.List(intNewPosition) = lstListBox.Text
lstListBox.List(intNewPosition - intDirection) = strTemp
lstListBox.Selected(intNewPosition) = True

End If

End Sub

the lstDisplayCols listbox is a list of selected columns to be displayed for a search result list. Just put the name of your list box there...

How To Get The Text Of Item In A Listbox?
I am using a test tool that uses VBA as its back end. When I record the action the tool itself only recongnizes the NAME of the item selected in the list...in most cases this is best.

However, I really need it to select by text, but this does not seem to work. So I want to write a little VBA that will extract the text of the displayed selection in the listbox after my test tool plays back the selection.

Example:
the text displayed is "English"
the name of this item is "en-US"

I want:
textDisplayed = text.listbox, which will mean textDisplayed = "English"

I was wondering what the syntax for this is? rather new to VB.

Thanks in advance

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?

Removing An Item In A Listbox

Listbox+For Each Item+Pause
Ok, guys, i need help. I have one listbox, populated with irc #channels, and i want bot to come and enter in each channel in listbox, then to say some text (i use this for my irc server, for annoucments), and part that channel after saying a message.
I got how to do that, but i have a problem. It comes to "exces flood" and i am being disconected from server.
How can i eventually pause some events? U know, it joins to channel, than says a message, parts that channel, waits for a couple a seconds (for exam. 3 seconds) than joins other channel in list and so on??

Code:
On Error Resume Next
Dim i As Integer

For i = List1.ListCount - 1 To 0 Step -1
Winsock1.SendData "JOIN " + List1.list(i) + vbCrLf
Wait 5000 (its says to wait 5 seconds, than to do next)
Winsock1.SendData "PRIVMSG " + List1.list(i) + " :" + "xax" + vbCrLf
Wait 5000 (its says to wait 5 seconds, than to do next)
Winsock1.SendData "PART " + frmLISTAKANALA!List1.list(i) + vbCrLf

Next i
End sub

Formating A Listbox Item
I have created a listbox in VB. It lists all of the sheets in my current workbook. When I click on the name of one of the sheets, it switches to that sheet. It works really nicely. I am trying to figure out a way, when the listbox comes up, to BOLD the name of the active sheet.

I am not sure it is possible to format the text for a particular line in the listbox.

Listbox.item(0)=NADA
I know this has to be very simple, but I'm stumped. I've searched the forum using "blank listbox item", "empty item listbox", "fill listbox" and could not find my answer.

I am using the code below to populate a listbox, the problem is that the first item in listbox is always empty. If I check the length of the first record it comes out to 0 so I thought that telling it not to add items with a length of less than 1 would handle that, but it didn't.

Thanks in advance for your help.
