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

Listbox - Changing The Text Of Item
Hi I have included an example in the zip file to show what i'm trying to do:
I have three checkoption boxes - Apple, Banana and Orange and
a listbox (list1)
When the checkbox is ticked the item appears in the list1 listbox - All this works fine but now I need to do one more thing
If the items Apple, banana and orange are in the listbox I need to be able to change the item name into its colour for example on double click turn:
The text 'apple' into the text 'Green' or the text 'banana' into 'Yellow' or 'orange' into the text 'same as fruit' - but only the item selected and not all of them in one go
Because I want to be able to keep some items as the fruit name and change others to the colour of the fruit
Is this even possible and if so any advise on how to do it?

' place item back on new position
' if you keep that item selected
' you can keep moving it by pressing cmdDown

List1.Clear ' Debugging orriented object to display the contents of arFilePlayList Array
If lstPlayList.SelCount = 1 Then
If lstPlayList.ListCount - 1 = lstPlayList.ListIndex Then
Exit Sub
Else
tempStr = lstPlayList.List(List1.ListIndex)
iIndex = lstPlayList.ListIndex
lstPlayList.RemoveItem lstPlayList.ListIndex
lstPlayList.AddItem tempStr, iIndex + 1
lstPlayList.Selected(iIndex + 1) = True
End If
End If
For arLoopCount = 0 To lstPlayList.ListCount

Quick Question: Listbox And Substituting Text For List Item
Ok, here's the problem: I've got my listbox right? I have a whole bunch of list items in the list box that have a very very long caption. Now what I want to happen is when a user clicks one of those captions, it is to have some DIFFERENT text to be stored into a variable. Like I click the list item, a separate piece of text is then stored into a string variable. Then later on, in a different form, I want to be able to use that variable to display the text instead of the text in the list box. I have some code set up but I am not exactly sure how to manipulate it.
VB Code:
Private Sub List1_Click(Index As Integer)Dim NPC1 As StringNPC1 = List1(0).TextDim NPC2 As StringNPC2 = List1(1).TextDim NPC3 As StringNPC3 = List1(2).TextDim NPC4 As StringNPC4 = List1(3).TextDim NPC5 As StringNPC5 = List1(4).TextDim NPC6 As StringNPC6 = List1(5).TextDim NPC7 As StringNPC7 = List1(6).TextDim NPC8 As StringNPC8 = List1(7).Text End Sub
Do I need to like have a line after that, that states:
VB Code:
Private Sub List1(6).Text_Click()NPC1 = ["textblahblah"]
Thanks!
(? 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 .

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: How To Know Last Added Item's Index, When The Listbox Is Sorted?
When sorted property of a listbox is set to True, each new item added won't be at the end of the list, it will be automatically placed in the correct index, according to text order, is there a way to know which is the index of that item (last item added)? Looping to find it would be horrendous, I just need the index to mark that item selected.

Adding An Item From One Listbox To Another Listbox
I have several forms, one with a listbox that displays the selected records of a field from a database. I select(click) one of those records and want to have another particular field from that record display in another listbox on another form. So far it works with this code, but pulls all the records from the first listbox.
To be more specific, the database has populations and zip codes, etc. The field for population is called pop2001 and the zip codes is Zip. The listbox with the selected records displays zipcodes and I want to select one of those zipcodes and have it's population display in the other forms listbox, but it displays all of them. Can anybody help?
Code:
Private Sub Form_Load()
PopRecSet.MoveFirst
Do Until PopRecSet.EOF
frmpopfinal.lstpopfinal.AddItem PopRecSet![pop2001]
PopRecSet.MoveNext
Loop
End Sub

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...

Private Sub btnDown_Click()

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)

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?

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

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.
