Simple Listbox Question - Removing Selected Item


Easy question for you all - how can I have the user click a button and have a select listbox item removed? I cannot seem to get this, as i always needs its index.
To rephase, I need to be able to tell what the index is of the selected item in a listbox, when the contents are changing (the user inputs the contents).
Any ideas would be great! Thanks!

Removing A Selected Item From Listbox
I'm not familiar with using the For statement but I gave it a try.


Code:
For i = 1 to 9999
i = lstsFiles.SelCount
lstsFiles.RemoveItem (i)
Next

This didn't work. It gave me an error on lstsFiles.RemoveItem (i). I assume I have it wrong. I removed that line of code, ran it and it froze VB. Now I've gotta restart my program.

Removing Listbox Selected Item
How do I remove a user selected item in a listbox. Right now I have....


Code:
Private Sub Command3_Click()
lbo(RemoveItem) = lbo(SelectedItem)
End Sub
Where "lbo" is the name of the listbox. But that just yields a command button that does nothing at all.

I have anoter selected item that works similar (which works), where it gets the selected item in the listbox and sends it to the web browser


Code:
Private Sub Command1_Click()
Denlou.WebBrowser1.Navigate lbo(SelectedItem)
Unload favorites
End Sub
And I can't remove the equals sign because it returns "Expected: End of Statement"

Anyone know what to do?

Removing Selected Item From A List Box
Hi,
Here is my problem:

I have a form with selected items in a list box. e.g "Grapes" "Pears" "Carrots"

and 2 command buttons, "Add Item" "Remove Item"

When the user selects an item and clicks "Add" the item is appended to a text box on another form (frmMain).

My problem comes when a user removes an item, what I want my program to do is delete the item from the text box. e.g "Grapes"--->"Remove" and the item goes from the text box.

The text box is formatted as below:

Item1
Item2

so how would I go about doing this? (Removing the item)

Also, when the item is deleted how can I move the other text down, so I am not left with a blank white line?

Thanks alot,

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!

Removing Item From Listbox
Hello people,

I have a listbox that gets populated when a command button on the same form is clicked. When, the listbox gets populated, a listbox in another form is also getting populated at the same time.

The problem is that when I try to remove an item from a listbox, I have an error. I cannot remove the item from the listbox in another form.

These are the two codes that I tried.


VB Code:
Dim Nm123 As String    Nm123 = lstOrder.Text    Dim ABC As Single    ABC = -1    Dim Trial As String    Dim DEF As String    DEF = ABC + 1        For i = 1 To frmPizzaChoices.lstItems.ListCount            Trial = frmPizzaChoices.lstItems.List(DEF)                If Trial = lstOrder.Text Then                frmPizzaChoices.lstItems.RemoveItem (DEF)                End If        Next i


This is a simpler code

VB Code:
frmPizzaChoices.lstItems.RemoveItem (lstOrder.ListIndex)


Can someone please suggest a different way to display this.

Removing Item From Listbox And Textfile
hello gurus,

Goodday!

I'm having a problem with my vb app. In my listbox, I was able to add items and store/log those items in a text file "c:ert.txt". Though I was able to or I can remove the selected item from the listbox using the "remove" button, but the problem is that, the stored item won't remove from the text file "c:ert.text". An error exist when I run the app.

To make the story short, when I click the "remove" button, the selected item will be removed from the listbox AND from the text file "c:ert.txt".

How will I do that? As a follow up question, how will I add and remove 2 selected items from the listbox and from the textfile.

I've attached my vb files.

Thank You and More Power!

Always Have Last Item In Listbox Selected
How can I make it so the last item in a listbox be selected, even after new items are added. For instance, lets say I had four items in a listbox like this:

I'm one
I'm two
I'm three
I'm four

At this point I'd want "I'm four" to be selected and if I added another item like this:

I'm one
I'm two
I'm three
I'm four
I'm five

Then at this point I would want "I'm five" to be selected. Does anyone know of a way to do this ?

Thanks in advance for any help!

Scroll To Selected Item In Listbox
Hi guys,

I'm in Access. I have a form with a listbox and a combobox with the same values. The user selects the value in combobox, clicks the button, and the same item gets selected in the listbox. The problem is that the listbox doesn't scroll to the selected item automatically. Here is my code:

For i = 0 To Me.storeNumber.ListCount - 1
If Me.storeNumCombo.Value = Me.storeNumber.ItemData(i) Then
Me.storeNumber.Selected(i) = True
End If
Next i

This code selects an item in the listbox every time I press the button leaving previously selected items selected too.

I've been looking for solution suitable for me and found this code:

For i = 0 To Me.storeNumber.ListCount - 1
If Me.storeNumCombo.Value = Me.storeNumber.ItemData(i) Then
Me.storeNumber.setFocus
Me.storeNumber.ListIndex = i
End If
Next i

It does scroll to the selected item. However, every time I click the button it clears previously selected item and selects the new one that I selected in combobox. And I don't need that clearing. Any ideas on how to avoid this? Thanks in advance.

Changing Value Of Item Selected In Listbox

Selected Listbox Item Into A Second Funcion.
I looked everywhere and didn't find an clues to solve my problem. One of wksheets as all my items listed alphabetically. Column A all the a's, B all the b's, etc. I have a userform with a listbox that displays one of my columns based on which letter the user chooses (from my main userform). Each column has a different number of entries, so each respective listbox has a different number of lines in it.

On the same userform (with the listbox) I have a command button that runs a search and display function based on what item is selected in the listbox.
Basically this funcion searches for whatever item name is selected in the list box (the actual text).

I cannot figure out how to get my selected listbox line to display its text in my second function

If C.Value Like "item name" Then.....

So I need the text from the listbox item, to display as item name in my second function

Any help is awesome. Thanks in advance.

Showing A Selected Item In A Listbox
I've got a textbox which the user can input text. I also have a list of already existing items. Doing the search for the item, isn't a problem. However, I wish to select the item, and then make sure it is in the visible portion of the list box.
Actually, getting the item selected isn't a problem. It's getting the selected item into the visible portion of the listbox that is giving me problems. Anyone have any ideas?

Telling Which Item Is Selected In A Listbox.

Easy - Tell If Last Item In Listbox Is Selected.
What is a quick and simple way I can tell if the last item in a listbox is selected ? There is no multi-select enabled in the list either. I am doing it using listcount, and index but I get the feeling I am making it way more complicated then it needs to be. If you have an answer could you throw it in an if statement so that it will put up a msg box saying either "Last item selected", or "Last item not selected". ~Many Thank, Bryan J. Casler

Listbox Selected Item - Wierd Or Just Me ?
Hi guys,

This has been doing my head in all afternoon. I have a listbox on my form which reads it's data from an Access DB. I also have a normal textbox on my form.

If you select an item in the listbox it becomes highlighted, no problems so far. But, if you then click on the textbox the item un-selects itself. I cannot understand why. I have tried as a test, putting another listbox on the form and filled it's contents at design-time with numbers 1,2,3 etc,,. When this is run you can select an item in the test listbox, click on the textbox and it is still selected.

Any ideas why the first listbox keeps unselecting itself? Is it because the data in it is read from a DB ?

Cheers

How To Scroll A Listbox To Display Selected Item
My problem is as follows:

I have a listbox and my program selects a certain item based on coded algorithms. The listbox contains many more items than can be displayed at one time, so I have to use the scroll bar to search through the content of the listbox.

When my program selects an item in a listbox that is not currently in the view frame, I have to find the item by manually scrolling up or down until I can see it.

I would like my listbox to scroll automatically so that the selected item is in view.

I have not found a way to find out which items are displayed, or even to programmatically make the list scroll.

Any suggestion?

Thanks in advance
