Visual Basic :: Listbox Remove Item By Matching Text With A Textbox

(? 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 .

Remove Matching Strings In Listbox
I have two list boxes. ListBox1 contains a random list of items, while ListBox2 contains a subset of ListBox1's items in no particular order. I want to remove all items in ListBox1 that match the items in ListBox2.

For example, ListBox1 contains items Harry, Sally, Mary, John. ListBox2 contains items Mary,John. I want to create a function that will remove Mary and John from ListBox1. Any help would be great! Thanks

Get Non Matching Listbox Item?
Here's a very simple example of what I need to do. Let's say I have a listbox loaded with these items:

Dog
Dog
Cat
Dog
Dog

I need to go through the list to see if all the items match. In this case they wouldn't because Cat is there. I can' t search for a specific item name because they would be different each time. I don't need to return or remove the non matching item. I just need to return True if they all match and False if they don't.

Thanks for the help

Coding A Listbox To Display Matching Variable Array Item In Label Control
Can some one help me on this one. I am just a beginner with VB so it may seem easy for some of you. I have a listbox with 50 States listed in it. I also have a Variable Array (1 to 50) with the names of the state capitals declared in the general declarations section of the form. Within the same form, how do I code the Variable to display the state capital in a label control based on the State selection made in the listbox. The data for both the listbox and the variable were input from a sequential file that contained 50 records of two fields each, (State and its Capital). The listbox listindex would be 0-49 and the array is 1 -50. Just a few pointers would be good. Thanks.

Private Sub Command1_Click()
Dim MyTest As Integer
MyTest = Text1.Text
List1.RemoveItem MyTest

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 Listbox Item

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.

CODE 'load the Listbox1 items
  Call LoadListbox1Lookup
  'populate the list
  Listbox1.Clear
  For Each objListbox1 In mobjListbox1
    Listbox1.AddItem mobjListbox1.Thing
    Listbox1.ItemData(Listbox1.NewIndex) = mobjListbox1.OID
  Next

  Call LoadListbox2Items(mobjCurrentCust.OID)
  'populate the list for the customer selected
  Listbox2.Clear
  For Each objListbox2 In mobjListbox2
    Listbox2.AddItem objListbox2.Thing
    Listbox2.ItemData(Listbox2.NewIndex) = objListbox2.OID2
    'how do i do this?
    Listbox1.RemoveItem objListbox2.Thing

ListBox - Remove Item On Click
OK, I have created a listbox that holds string data, te functionality i want, si that when the user clicks on one of the items in the list, it is removed.

Code:
Private Sub lstReportSites2_Click()

Listbox Remove Item Problem
I´m using the following code to remove an item from a list box when I click the respectif command button:

Code:
Private Sub cmdRemoveItem_Click()

item = lboxData.ListIndex

If item < 0 Then
MsgBox "There is no selected item!"
Else
lboxData.RemoveItem item

End If

The problem is that I´m getting an error whenever I try to run this code. If an item is not selected on the listbox then I get a run time error message with a "Invalid Argument".
If an item is already selected on the listbox then I get another run time error with a "Unspecified Error".
When I click the "DEBUG" button in either case this code line is highlighted:

Code:
lboxData.RemoveItem item

Any thoughts on this...

Remove Collection Item In Listbox
I have a listbox showing options for the selected customer. I can't get my code working to remove an item from the listbox. I am very new at using VB and am very alone on this project as we don't really have an IT dept, it's just a small office application I'm developing.

For some reason the ID of the customer is getting sent to the remove method of the collection class and not the ID of the Customer's option. For example:

ID Customer Option
22 ABCCo Tax1
33 XYZCo NoTax
37 ABCCo Tax2

I want to remove ID 37 but it is sending OID = 2 (the customer's OID field in Access table).

Here is my code:

VB Code:
Private Sub cmdRemove_Click() Dim lngOID As Long Set mobjCustOpt = New CustomerBus.CustOptions lngOID = lstCustOpt.ItemData(lstCustOpt.ListIndex) mobjCustOpt.Remove (lngOID) End Sub

I thought that ListIndex would give me the ID field of the CustomerOptions table but it gives me the ID field of the Customer table for the customer displayed on the form.

thanks.

Remove Item From ListBox Or ComboBox By String
OK,

Believe me, I've looked high and low for a way to do this. I'm stumped. I have the same problem with ComboBox and ListBox.

If I .AddItem ("SomeText"), I need to remove the same item, but with just using the "SomeText" as a starting point.

The .RemoveItem only takes an Integer Index. How can I remove by String instead?

Thanks!

Matching Textbox.text With A Field From A Table
Hi guys, whats wrong with the following?

SQL="select * from table1 where name=txtname.text"
rs.open SQL, conn, 3,1
a=rs.recordcount
if a>0 then
msgbox "name already exist",vbinformation
else
....
....
rs.update

I am trying to look for a record having the same name as the textbox. If yes, then I would prompt the user to change the name to something else as the name already exist.
I know there is something wrong with my SQL query, but whats that?

Is there any better way to check if the information entered through a textbox already exists in the table or not?

I have a list box where the user select an item from the list box, and the description of the item will be display in a text box.
Different item will display different description in the same text box. How can I do this?

I've been trying by using this code:

Private Sub List1_Click() Select Case List1.ListIndex Case 0: Text1.Text = "A Description" Case 1: Text1.Text = "B Description" Case 2: Text1.Text = "C Description" End SelectEnd Sub

But the description is very long (more than hundreds words), I tried to store it in an access database, but failed because text size too large. Is it possible to save the description in a .txt file and load the description from that .txt file into the text box?

Thanks in advance!

Remove Matching Items From Listview
I'm using a listview to load a list of email address's. What I'm trying to do is remove all address's from a selected domain using a GetExtension Sub to get the domain name. The problem is when I call the sub RemoveDomain() it removes the address I clicked on and all that come before it leaving those after it and not removing all from that domain. First I'm geting the domain extension in lblExt.Caption and that works fine. I'm trying to match that with the selected item in Listview and remove all those. I hope I've made this clear what I'm trying to do. Here's what I have so far.

Public Function GetExtension(ByVal p_strFileName As String) As String
If InStr(p_strFileName, "@") = 0 Then Exit Function

GetExtension = Mid(p_strFileName, InStrRev(p_strFileName, "@") + 1)
End Function

Private Sub RemoveDomain()
On Error Resume Next
Dim x As Long
x = 1
While x < ListView1.ListItems.Count + 1
Debug.Print x

If GetExtension(ListView1.SelectedItem) = lblExt.Caption Then
ListView1.ListItems.Remove x
Else
x = x + 1
End If
Wend

End Sub

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
