HighLight List Box Selected List Item With User Defined Color
Hi Friends,

I need a help from u all. My problem is to change the Backcolor of the selected listitem of a listbox.

Let me explain detail. Normally in a listbox if we selected the list, the list item will be highlited with blue backgroud (ie. the selected item color settings of the system). Now I need to hightlight the selected list in the list box with my own color say red, green or something else.

Would anyone help me.

AddItem To Combo List And Have The Combo List Be Able To Retain The Item Upon Recall
I have a project that I need to do for school. You are to have a command button, a combo/dropdown list and a text box, you are to enter a name and birthday in the text box and when you click on the command button it is supposed to enter it in the combo box. My problem is that I got it to enter into the combo box with additem, but it will not retain the item that I just added. When I close the program the item I added does not stay there. How do I get the combobox to retain everything that I add through the textbox on command click. PLEASE HELP

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!!

Removing Selected Items From A List
Hey guys...I'm having a few problems removing selected items from a list. I've tried this a number of different ways, without any joy; i wonder if anybody could point me in the right direction. Here's what i've got:


Code:
For LoopCount = 0 To lstCrit1.ListCount - 1
Set SelectedRows =_
Intersect(Collected.EntireRow,Range("s:s").Offset(ColumnOffset:=LoopCount).Find("*"))
If SelectedRows Is Nothing Then
lstCrit1.RemoveItem (LoopCount)
End If
Next LoopCount
Collected and SelectedRows are ranges, and I want to remove the list item if the range SelectRows is empty. .

Thanks in advance,

Editing The Selected List Item...
I have a list, populated with an ascending list of numbers...For example we'll say 1-70.

Now, how would I go about making it so that the information from a TextBox, can be added to the selected list item? I.E. if I select "60" on the list, and want to add "Peter Griffin" that same list item would be "60 Peter Griffin".

Thanks in advance!

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,

Trying To Print Selected Item In List Box
Here it is: I am trying to use the highlighted item in a list box to be used to search a file and print the matching records out. It was easy to print he entire file, but I need some help on this here is what I have so far.


VB Code:
Private Sub mnuFilePrintSelrec_Click()    Dim strListSel As String, strItmeName As String, intItemNum As Integer    strListSel = lstItem.Text    Open "g:cs212 est31c6.dat" For Input As #1    Printer.Print strListSel       Printer.EndDoc    Close #1End Sub


The problem with this is it prints only the highlighted item and does not search and print the records that match in the file. hos do I get it to use that as a search string in a file?

Remember Selected List Item?
I have a Listbox with about 5 gradients in the list. When the user clicks an item from the list it displays the according gradient. Its all working perfect, the question in hand though is how do you remember the selected list item when the program is closed, so when you open the app again that list item is selected.

Selected List Item Not Working
At the start of my program I'm loading a list of events from a textfile (.txt). I get this in string form, and split it into an array.

After that I loop through the array, adding each event to a listview (mode= report, with one column header). Some events might've been done already so they have the "1" status. When an event has a "1" status, I want it to be checked (my listview uses checkboxes). I'm using the following code;

Code:
If arrEvent(4) = 1 Then '// Done, thus checked
lstEvents.FindItem(arrEvent(0)).Selected = True
lstEvents.Refresh
End If

This code executes in the Form_Load procedure and arrEvent(0) contains the name of the event. This doesn't seem to work though.

Anyone know why? Thanks!

Comparing Selected Items In A List To A Database
I have a multiselect list box which has a list of skills that the person can select from. After the user has selected the skills he has, i need to check whether these skills are already in the database for this person (user could have multiple rows for each skill by his emp_id). If the person already has the skill in the database then i need to ignore that ( as in not add it again/give him a message saying he already has the skill) and add the others that he does not already have. How do you do this so that every element in the list that is selected is checked against every row this person may have in the database to make sure that i am not adding duplicate records for the user. Thanks in advance.

Selected Item In List View Is Not Marked
Hi,

I am hoping if anyone can help me...

I have 3 'list-view' controls in my program. Let's call it lvw1, lvw2 and lvw3.
If I select any item in the lvw1, the item is highlighted. But when I move to lvw2 and select an item there, the highlighted item in lvw1 is then removed.
Only item in lvw2 is highlighted. The same result appears, when I chose an item in lvw3..

It seems that only 1 item from 1 list view control can be highlighted at any one time.

Is there anyway, so that if I chose an itme in lvw1 it will still be highlighted even when I choose other item in lvw2 and lvw3.

Thank you for any replies.

Regards

Decision Based On List Item Selected
Hello,

I got a great answer to the last question I posted here so I wish to pose another one. I am curious how to determine which item is selected in a list box and then execute certain code pertaining to that particular selection. I know it would involve an If...Then...Else statement but am not sure how to retrieve what item is selected in the list.

If it helps at all, I need to know so that I can use my inventory list in my text based RPG in battle. So, if I happened to want to use an item in battle I want the item I select to be used causing other actions based on the enemy, defense, attack, etc.

Any help is immensley appreciated. Thank-you.

List View Selected Items In Text Boxes
Dear Friends,

When I select one item {because I have only one coloumn in listview } (eg: Name) from a listview which is connected to DB2.MDB (Table Name is : TB2) and displays the data from TB2, I would like all the text boxes to show all the records pertaining to the selected name. I have four fields in TB2.

What code should be written:

Compare Item To List Of Items
In SQL, you can do:


VB Code:
SELECT * FROM IM WHERE IM_KEY IN (Jeremy,Josh,John)


Is there anything similar to this in VB so I can say:


VB Code:
If variable is in (Item, Item2,Item3) Then...Else...End If


Thanks, Jeremy

Quick Listview Question - Getting A Selected Item To Appear At The Top Of List
Hopefully a simple question - I have a list view and items are added at run time by the click of a button, the newly created item is selected but since the list view is sorted it might be selected but off the bottom of the list view window. Obviously the user can scroll down to look for it but this isn't very slick. Can I automatically force the list view to scroll down to the right place or bring one item to the top of the list view??

Problems With Listboxes If Item Is Selected From The List And The Textbox Value That
I'm using three sets of listboxes, textboxes, and a commandbutton for each textbox.

The PROBLEM:
I can enter a value in the textbox, click the commandbutton and the listbox populates. BUT if I select an item from the listbox and then try to change the value of the textbox that decides what is in the same listbox the code ERRORS.

From the Watches window I have received the following:
Watch : : UserForm1.Frame1.ListBox3.ListIndex : -1 : Variant/Long : UserForm1.ListBox3_Change

Am I correct when I say the value -1 means there was not data to create the list with?

I'm unsure of where the change needs to be to solve this???

Example of code being used:
Code:
Private Sub ListBox2_Change()
TextBox.Text = ""
TextBox.Text = UserForm1.Frame2.ListBox2.List(UserForm1.Frame2.ListBox2.ListIndex)
End Sub

Private Sub ListBox3_Change()
TextBox.Text = ""
TextBox.Text = UserForm1.Frame1.ListBox3.List(UserForm1.Frame1.ListBox3.ListIndex)
End Sub

Private Sub ListBox4_Change()
TextBox.Text = ""
TextBox.Text = UserForm1.Frame3.ListBox4.List(UserForm1.Frame3.ListBox4.ListIndex)
End Sub

Private Sub CommandButton3_Click()
frame_Search UserForm1.Frame1.TextBox13.Text
End Sub

Private Sub frame_Search(SearchFor As String)
Dim rngFind As Range
Dim strFirstAddress As String

ListBox2.Clear
ListBox3.Clear
ListBox4.Clear
With Workbooks("S350 T3 Test with Form.xls").Worksheets("Master Tracking").Range("D:D")
Set rngFind = .Find(SearchFor, LookIn:=xlValues, lookat:=xlPart, searchorder:=xlByColumns)
If Not rngFind Is Nothing Then
strFirstAddress = rngFind.Address
Do
UserForm1.Frame1.ListBox3.AddItem rngFind.Offset(0, "-2")
UserForm1.Frame1.ListBox3.List(UserForm1.Frame1.ListBox3.ListCount - 1, 1) = rngFind
Set rngFind = .FindNext(rngFind)
Loop While Not rngFind Is Nothing And rngFind.Address <> strFirstAddress
End If
End With
With UserForm1.Frame1.ListBox3
If .ListCount = 0 Then
.AddItem
.List(0, 1) = "No Match Found"
.Enabled = False
Else
.Enabled = True
End If
End With

End Sub
Thanks for any suggestions,

Listbox Properties Not In Access 2000 / Need To Count Selected Items In A List Box ?
Hi All,

In an earlier post it was mentioned that the SelCount propery of a listbox is not native to VBA/Access2000.

Since they are not native, Is there a way to get/reference them ?

If not, how would I count the number of rows selected in listbox A and move just those selected to listbox B and vise versa.
Listbox A and B have the multi-select property set to Simple.

Below is the code I would like to use but I do not have the selCount or List property for my listbox.

Any help/examples/suggestions would be great.

Thanks,
GWest

Is there a way to work around this? I'm using VB6....

How To List Database Items In Combo Box?
I am working on this project that will calculate customer orders and update the inventory when the purchases are made.

all my inventory and product information is stored in Microsoft Access Database. What i would like for the users to do is to list the customers orders in a list/grid by selecting each product # from a comboBox.

My question is how do i put my inventory(which is held in msAccess) into the combobox so that the user can select a specific product that the customer has ordered and display each order in a list or a grid?

at first i thought i might just manually enter each product in the combobox in the properties section but then i realized that if i were to edit the inventory by either deleting a certain product or adding one the list in the combo box would be inaccurate.

Please help thanks
