ListBox - Move List Item To Place In List
I have a list box with several items. I am trying to make a button that when the user selects an item in the list box, they can click on the button which will move the item up one in the list box:

So if my list looked like this:

ONE
TWO
THREE
FOUR
FIVE

and the user selected FOUR and clicked the button the list would look like this:

ONE
TWO
FOUR
THREE
FIVE

Does anyone know how to do this?

Thanks,

Combine List Items To Create New Item In Same List?
Hi all,

This has been giving me fits for a few days - any help would be most appreciated. I'm sure it's pretty simple, but I'm new to VB (and programming in general) and can't seem to come up with the correct syntax to get this to work:

I have a listbox from which the user can select mutliple items. Once user performs a multi-select, I enable a button (no problem there). When user clicks that button, I want to create a new item in that same list consisting of all selected items with "AND" between them.

Thus, if user had selected <item 1>, <item 2>, and <item 4>, the new item would be "<item 1> AND <item 2> AND <item 4>". Can someone please help me with the logic and syntax on this?

Here's what I have up to this point (I've removed the parts that I believe - based on the fact that this is not working - to be wrong and replaced them with ?????):

Code:
        Dim terms As String
        For Each terms In List.SelectedItems
            If List.SelectedItems.Count > 1 Then
                terms = ??????? & " AND " & ???????
            End If
        Next
        List.Items.Add (???????)

Thanks!!

Getting A Combo Box List And Putting It In A List Box List On Another Form
I am finally writing my first MDI! I'm doing a lot better than I thought I would so far, but now I'm stuck. I need to have a list from a combo box copied into a list box on another form. I want it in the Form_Load() event. Right now I have:

Code:Private Sub Form_Load()
frmpresetedit.deletepreset.List = frmtimer1.cmbpresets.List
frmpresetedit.Show
End Sub

deletepreset is the list box, cmbpresets is my combo box.
It always comes up with a compile error at the .list part of cmbpresets.list and says that 'the argument is not optional'. What is my problem here? I'm sure this problem is simple and I'm probably just making a stupid mistake. What code do I need to use?
Thanks

ComboBox List/add Item, If Item Exists, Dont Add It Again!
Dudes and Dudeesses I need help!

I have a problem with a combobox within a form. I'm scanning down the spreadsheet for values and asking a combobox to .additem, however, the same value may appear twice whilst scanning down. Is there an if statement that will look and check the combobox to see if it is already added, if so dont add it again, if not, add it?

as below,

Code:
combobox.AddItem "Hotmail"
combobox.AddItem "Yahoo"
combobox.AddItem "Hotmail"
Hotmail will be added twice, how can I stop that?

If worst comes to the worst, I can sort it out with a long winded method, but I'm hoping theres a quicker way.

Thanks for all your help

Single Item List Box (item Not Really Selecting)
Application=Access2002

The following code has worked for me in the past but won't now for some reason.
I have a private function and/or subs that performs a few simple operations such as setting listbox rowsources and simple math functions on a form. The queries set as rowsource use criteria from other single item listboxes.
Now, for some reason, the queries won't return values until the previously .selected(0) = true (single item) list boxes have been clicked on.
Problem has only been in creating a new form. Perhaps the problem did not occur in older created forms due to compatibility?

Private Sub fraEWTo_AfterUpdate()

[Edited]
    lstRotorHoursPriorTo.RowSource = "qryRotorSwapHoursTotTo" 'gets hoursprior from tblRotors
    lstRotorHoursPriorTo.Selected(0) = True ' This is one place where the problem seems to exist, the control does not function until it has been clicked on via mouse.

    LstClockInTo.RowSource = "qryRotorSwapRAHoursIPTo"
    LstClockInTo.Selected(0) = True

    txtRACHIPTo.Locked = False
    txtRACHIPTo.Value = txtClockHoursTo.Value - lstClockInTo.Value 'nor will this until the lstClockInTo box has been manually selected

List Box Item Scrolling (Next Item)
Hello,

I was wondering what the code would be for a command button to make the next item in the list box be selected?

Kind of like a NEXT button.
EXAMPLE:
List box Line 1
List box Line 2
List box Line 3
List box Line 4

If List box Line 2 is selected then clicking the next button would DESELECT List box Line 2 and SELECT List box Line 3.

If I didn't explain enough just let me know.

Going To Next Item In List??
ok, here's a tricky one. Say I have 3 filenames in a listbox. when the user double-clicks on the file, my program calls on the Shellexecute API call to open the file with it's default program. ok say for example these are *.wav files. When the first file in the list is finished playing I want the program to automatically go to the next file in the list and use shellexecute to open it. So my question is: How can I get my program to recognize when the playing file has finished playing? Any suggestions, tips, flames, etc. appreciated. Thanks

Installed Item In The List

I am curious and desparate. I cant stand the fuss that installer programs make to install even one or two files that i decided to make one myself!

Adding An Item To A List Box
I am currently working on a project with college and want to add items chosen from a combo box to a listbox along side it. I am using Access to create the Database.

However, when I come to enter the following code, the syntax isn't correct. I have a feeling it may be because i'm using VBA as opposed to VB6 and I know that some of the coding is slightly different. Below is the code I am using to add them.

Code:
lstCoursesTaught.AddItem "Computing"
However, the VB Editor doesn't recognise the .AddItem section. It only displays .AddColon. Can anybody help me with this problem?

Thank you

Xth Data Item From A List?
Here's what I'd like to do:

I have an array of data (e.g. Monthly Shipping Costs by Month by Customer). I will also have a sum of shipping costs by customer.

I could easily sort this array by month to get the top 10 Customers by Total Shipping Cost. However, since I won't necessarily have control of this workbook, I don't want to have to do that.

I'd like to be able to show the Top 10 list even when the data changes.

For example, I could use the Large function to get the #1, #2, #n item for costs, but then how do I translate that back to a customer? I can't use the LOOKUP functions (as far as I know) because, if there's a tie, then it wouldn't return the proper customer (i.e. if Custer X and Customer Y both had $5,000 total shipping costs, how would I return the second one?). Also, the Large function returns an error if there's a tie.

Hmmmm... I'm thinking that I may need to use a VBA function for this, but I was hoping to get around that.

Does anyone have any ideas without using VBA?
