Hi! everybody

Changing The Forecolor Of An Item In An Imagecombo
I have noticed in the forum a number of posts saying you can change the forecolor of individual items in an imagecombo list. Unfortunately no-one says how to do it.

There is a font property for the control but not a font property or forecolor property for the individual items.

So how do you change the forecolor of individual items in an imagecombo list?

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?

When Moving Item Down In The Listbox The Text Disappears
Okay dont know why but the text is dissapearing when an item is moved down the list box.

Image1 displays before the move down
Image2 displays after the move down
Code is also attached. I am very confused I have been through this code througherly and I am sure there is not an error in the code.

Code:
' check: only proceed if there is a selected item
' check: last item can't be moved down
' save items text and items indexvalue
' remove item
' place item back on new position
' if you keep that item selected
' you can keep moving it by pressing cmdDown
' for arLoopCount adds the new playlist entrys from
' lstPlayList.
' list1 refreshes
' lstPlayList refreshes
Dim tempStr As String
Dim iIndex As Integer
Dim arLoopCount As Integer
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
arFilePlayList(arLoopCount) = lstPlayList.List(arLoopCount)
List1.AddItem arFilePlayList(arLoopCount)
Next arLoopCount
List1.Refresh
lstPlayList.Refresh

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 .

I have a listbox that is controlled by a table. If the "payment" field in a record is above zero I want the entire row in the listbox to be red. I can't figure out how to set only a row in the listbox to a certain color. I tried me.lstlisting.itemdate(1).forecolor = 255 but that says it needs an object. me.lstlisting.forecolor works but that sets everything in the listbox to red. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Text Box Disabled Forecolor
In visual FoxPro, text boxes have a "disabledforcolor" property which does the obvious. In VB the text boxes do not have this property, therefore when a control becomes disabled, the text becomes a very pale grey making it hard to read nearly impossible if running the application remotely. Any Solutions ? I would prefer to keep using the standard text box control as it would be a HUGE effort to change them all.

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!

PopRecSet.MoveNext
Loop
