Typing In Listbox
Say I have a question,

In one part of my project I have a listbox that when you click in it you can type to find what you're looking for.
For example if I had a listbox with a lot of names in it and I wanted to find the name "Dulsey" I could click anywhere in the listbox and then type D U L and it will take me right there.

Now I have listboxes in other areas of my project that simply don't behave the same way. I looked at the properties and can't really find a way to control that. I know I missed something simple somewhere. Any ideas?

THanks

Listbox Select By Typing **RESOLVED**
Is there a way to make a listbox so that the user can quickly type the first few characters of the item they want and it is automatically selected? It sems the listbox works for the first letter, but for the first letter only. I'm sure this has been asked before but I can't seem to find anything. Thank you.

Searching A Listbox By Typing In A Textbox
How can I search a listbox or a combobox by typing text in a textbox? I have found an answer in the tips section of http://www.allapi.net but you can only type the first character.

HighLight A Listbox As Typing In A Text Box
email me and or answer here or both Thanks!!!

I have what should be an easy problem.

I am not sure if I should you use a combo box in list state ro a text box and a list box

I fill a listbox with about 100,000 items, from one field in an MDB Database.
So that list is static at that point with a Scroll bar

As the user types in a text box above, I want the list to not only move up and down the the closes selection that starts exactly with what is being typed, but when I want the closest item in the list to also highlight so the user can just press enter.

If I use a combo box in list state, the list combo lists slides up and down just fine, but the item does not highlight. The user has to use the mouse to click on the item, plus while looking at the scroll bar as it slides up and down on the 100,000 items, and the list box displays about 10 items at a time, It is hard for the user to see the best match.

For Example

in the text box ( or Combo) the user knows the entery they are looking for, so they start typei

P101-a2

The list might show this

L1010
M23456454
N95039-123
P13452456
P15
P101-aaa54
P101-a2567 (This ONe should Highlight with what is typed above)
P101-a5
P101-btyt
Tdfdgdf
Tdfadfg

The list of 100,000 enteries slides up and down fine if I use a combo box

But the User instead has to mouse click instead of just pressing enter, because they can see the one they want is already highlighted, so why should they have to type more.

Please let me know if you have a recommendation
Should it be a text box and a list box,
a combo box,
or some other control,
and what could would I use.

Thanks

Moving The Position Of Another App Using VB
Hi,
I came across this application called WinTailor it allows the user to click on like an application window and move it to coordinates that you want on to your screen. Its similar to spy++.

You could have a look at it here:
http://www.codeproject.com/wtl/wintailor.asp

Was wondering if you could do the same with a VB app by using a Hwnd property? Like creating a vb program to move outside program windows. What would be a good way to do it?

Moving The Mouse To Position X,Y
I know there is a simple way to move the mouse to any position on the screen in vb. A search brought up nothing specific to what I am trying to do. Basically, I have two textboxes on a form to represent x and y. When I click a command button, I want the mouse to move to position x and y. Any hints?

Listbox To Listbox File Moving
I am working on an application where I want to present a current file's field list in one listbox and let the user Click once to highlight it and click a command button to move it from that listbox to another one (for processing). When moved I want it to be gone from the first list and present in the second. Similarly, I have another command button that does the opposite. Can someone give me some ideas of how I actually do this?

Mouse Position Over Listbox?
Hi,

Sure this has been asked many times before but I've done the search and not found the answer (well, not that I recognise!) so...

I have a list box and the user wants to be able to edit the comments, so I've created a new form that pops up when they double click etc. However, I'd like the new form to appear directly over the item they clicked on (and not just in the center of the screen or something), so how do I get the position of the selected item?

Cheers!

Moving From One Listbox To Another
I am currently moving items from one listbox to another the normal way with a loop. However, there can be up to 15,000 records that are moved at one time. Is there an API call that will move all records from one listbox to the other more quickly and efficiently?

Search/Position Top Value Multi Select Listbox
Hi I'm sure this has been covered before but can't seem to find anything.

I am trying to perform a listbox search upon entry to a textbox, however rather than highlighting the nearest match I only wish to set the top viewed item to be the nearest match. It is a multi select listbox and want to offer this functionality only as an aid to avoid having to scroll through the thousands of items i have in the listbox.

I've found several threads that use an API to search and select an item but can't figure out how to just set the top viewed item.

Help greatly appreciated cheers

Move TextBox To Listbox Item Position
I have a list box with checkboxes., with say 10 items in the list.

I need to edit the item contained on a particular list box item. ie....I click on the check box in item 3.

Private Sub List1_MouseDown(Button As Integer, Shift As Integer, X As Single, Y As Single)
Text1.Move X, Y
End Sub

This does move the text box to the 3rd line of the list box
but not the horizontal position.

I would like to get the text box directly over the list box item., so i can type in the altered info and then place this data in the list box (ie replace)

Appreciate any ideas of how to do this

Moving Items Up And Down In A Listbox
I just solved this question that I've had for a while.

Thought I'd share the code.

http://cornempire.newezone.com/resou...e/listmove.htm

Moving Items In A Listbox
Hi, I have a listbox, with the following:

[case 1]
Msg "Hello"
[case2]
msg "hello"

You can place these items on another dialog.
but, I need it to look like:

[case1]
Msg "hello"
... ---->Open a new space for more Messages when you place one.
[case2]
Msg "hello 2"

This is the code I have so far, but it isnt working.

Code:
Private Sub Command1_Click()
Dim newe As Integer

newe = Newevent.EventList(Eventnum).ListCount
Newevent.EventList(Eventnum).AddItem "<Msg>: " & Text1.Text, newe
'This bit is OK, places the message.

If Newevent.EventList(Index).Text = "..." Then
Newevent.EventList(Index).List(Newevent.EventList(Index).ListIndex) = "..."
Newevent.EventList(Index).List(Newevent.EventList(Index).ListIndex) = "<Msg>: " & Text1.Text
'Only one thing to happen for a Case
'Need it so you can have more than 1 Message under
'case 1, case 2,etc... (Move every ListItem down 1?) -Chris

Dim Position
For n = Newevent.EventList(Index).ListCount To Position + 1 Step -1
Newevent.EventList(Index).List(n) = Newevent.EventList(Index).List(n - 1)
Next
Newevent.EventList(Index).List(Position) = "..."
End If
Exit Sub

Unload events
Unload Me

End Sub

Private Sub Command2_Click()
Unload Me
End Sub

Any help would be appreciated

Moving Item From One Listbox To Another
Hey all

I am trying to move an item from one listbox to another. The first listbox has items where the RowSourceType = "Field List" and the second one is value list. This is my code:

Private Sub DisplayAllFields_DblClick(Cancel As Integer)

If ListOfFieldsSelected.RowSource = (List0.Value & "." & DisplayAllFields.Value) Then
MsgBox ("You cannot select a field more than once. Please select another field")
Else
ListOfFieldsSelected.AddItem (List0.Value & "." & DisplayAllFields.Value)
End If
End Sub

When I double click the same value in the first list again, it brings up the msgbox once but it doesn't do that once it has added another field to ListOfFieldsSelected. I would use the RemoveItem method so user can't click the field again but DisplayAllFields is set to Field List so it can't remove item unless set to "Value list". Any suggestions on this?

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks

Moving Listbox View
After picking an item in a Listbox, I want to return it to the top of the list. using listindex just selects an item, but doesn't return whats shown to that item. I want it to display item 0.
How do I accomplish this?
I had:

Code:
ListBox1.ListIndex = 0

but it just highlights the item, but does not show it.
i'm showing one item at a time, and scrolling to the picked item.

Listbox Moving Listindex
i have this code to select the next listindex and if its at the end start at the beggining again.

VB Code:
List1.ListIndex = (List1.ListIndex + 1) Mod List1.ListCount

my question is can anybody come up with a line like that but make it go backwards.
i know you can do if statements to check where the index is but i have been trying to figure this out and i just cant get it right.

thank you.
casey.

Moving Listbox Items W/ Mouse
does anyone know how to shift listbox items around with the mouse? a good example would be winamp's playlist. the code i came up with works fine...if you move your mouse slowly. if you go fast, it'll pretty much mess up the order because the cursor jumps around when you move your mouse too quickly.

Dim HotItem1 As Integer

Private Sub List1_MouseMove(Button As Integer, Shift As Integer, X As Single, Y As Single)
If Button = 1 Then
If HotItem1 <> List1.ListIndex Then
If HotItem1 > -1 Then
a = List1.List(HotItem1)
b = List1
List1.List(List1.ListIndex) = a
List1.List(HotItem1) = b
End If
HotItem1 = List1.ListIndex
List1_Click
End If
Else
HotItem1 = -1
End If

Multiple Listbox Scrolling, Matching Position + "lag"
Today isn't my day

Anyway...i have 3 listboxes in my program that should all have the same listindex at the same time...which works fine BUT the scrolling lags the first time you scroll down and if you pull down one scroll bar of any list and then click on an item in another list or the same lists the lists don't match up anymore...what i mean is visually...they still all have the same listindex it just doesn't look good when one selection is in the center and 2 others are at the top...i hope you get what i mean, if you want to try it yourself just copy this code into a new project and add 3 listboxes:

Code:
Private Sub Form_Load()
Dim i As Integer
For i = 1 To 30
List1.AddItem i
List2.AddItem i
List3.AddItem i
Next i
List1.ListIndex = 0
End Sub

Private Sub List1_Click()
List2.ListIndex = List1.ListIndex
List3.ListIndex = List1.ListIndex
End Sub

Private Sub List2_Click()
List1.ListIndex = List2.ListIndex
List3.ListIndex = List2.ListIndex
End Sub

Private Sub List3_Click()
List1.ListIndex = List3.ListIndex
List2.ListIndex = List3.ListIndex
End Sub
yeah i know thats ugly code but it's enough to get the idea...
i hope someone can help me with this

- Fix lag the first time a box is scrolled(maybe "prescroll it ?)
- Visually align all listboxes correctly

thanks in advance

Row Position, Column Position Of Cursor In RichTextBox
I am trying to create a text editor with some enhanced specific features for my application. One of these features which is a MUST is that I need to know which row and column my cursor is on at any given time. Therefore if I use the arrow keys, or click on the RichText Box, I can update the statusbar to tell me which line number (row) and character position within the line I am on.

I am not totally sold on using the rich text box, but the files can be somewhat large, and I need the text to be editable.

Code For Moving To The First Blank Cell In A Worksheet; Moving Left,right,up Or Down

Typing In DirectX?
Hi. I've got my keyboard input sorted, but I'm having big problems with an otherwise extraordinarily simple subject... typing. Is there no way to enter typing other than to use tons of If statements looking for key presses? Surely I've overlooked some super-simple method out there somewhere?

If it matters, I'm trying to make it so users can type a profile name in for my game. And, as can be guessed, it ain't workin'.

Thanks in advance
