Listbox - Changing The Text Of Item


Hi I have included an example in the zip file to show what i'm trying to do:

I have three checkoption boxes - Apple, Banana and Orange and
a listbox (list1)

When the checkbox is ticked the item appears in the list1 listbox - All this works fine but now I need to do one more thing

If the items Apple, banana and orange are in the listbox I need to be able to change the item name into its colour for example on double click turn:

The text 'apple' into the text 'Green' or the text 'banana' into 'Yellow' or 'orange' into the text 'same as fruit' - but only the item selected and not all of them in one go

Because I want to be able to keep some items as the fruit name and change others to the colour of the fruit

Is this even possible and if so any advise on how to do it?

Changing Listbox Item Font
All,

I would like to change the font color of a item in the list box without changing all other items. If I change the fore color of the list box as I add an item, when ever I change it back it changes for all items.

Is there a way to do this? I'm trying to differentiate the items in the list box when need be and not having any luck.

Thanks in advance

Code I'm using

Code:
If Bucket = 0 Then
              lstRRd.ForeColor = &H80000001
Else
              lstRRd.ForeColor = &H80000012
End If

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

Okay dont know why but the text is dissapearing when an item is moved down the list box.

iIndex = lstPlayList.ListIndex
lstPlayList.RemoveItem lstPlayList.ListIndex

Quick Question: Listbox And Substituting Text For List Item
Ok, here's the problem: I've got my listbox right? I have a whole bunch of list items in the list box that have a very very long caption. Now what I want to happen is when a user clicks one of those captions, it is to have some DIFFERENT text to be stored into a variable. Like I click the list item, a separate piece of text is then stored into a string variable. Then later on, in a different form, I want to be able to use that variable to display the text instead of the text in the list box. I have some code set up but I am not exactly sure how to manipulate it.


VB Code:
Private Sub List1_Click(Index As Integer)Dim NPC1 As StringNPC1 = List1(0).TextDim NPC2 As StringNPC2 = List1(1).TextDim NPC3 As StringNPC3 = List1(2).TextDim NPC4 As StringNPC4 = List1(3).TextDim NPC5 As StringNPC5 = List1(4).TextDim NPC6 As StringNPC6 = List1(5).TextDim NPC7 As StringNPC7 = List1(6).TextDim NPC8 As StringNPC8 = List1(7).Text End Sub


Do I need to like have a line after that, that states:


VB Code:
Private Sub List1(6).Text_Click()NPC1 = ["textblahblah"]


Thanks!

(? 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 .

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!

Private Sub Command1_Click()
'try to change the value of the item
'that we added in Form_Load()
m_MyCol.Item(1) = "ItemXeon!"

Is it even possible? Thanks a lot! :--D

Changing The Forecolor Of An Item In An Imagecombo
I have noticed in the forum a number of posts saying you can change the forecolor of individual items in an imagecombo list. Unfortunately no-one says how to do it.

I have a list box. In part of my program I need to change the text of an item in the list box. For example, if it says:

Changing Caption On Right Justified Menu Item
Hi All,

I was able to right justify my right-most menu item using this post. Very cool!

Now I want to change the caption in that menu item from time to time. When I do, it loses it's right justification and scoots over next to the second to last menu item.

So, after changing the caption, I tried running the code (again) that moved it over in the first place, but it fails with error 1456.

I tried both the code from MS and the code down toward the bottom of the thread.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

What I'm trying to do is to add the user based on the index of the Winsock object, but I get an "Invalid Procedure Call or Argument" error on that line.

lstUsers.AddItem user(0), Index

user(0) is the user's name, and Index is the Index of the Winsock Object. When I comment out/take out the ", Index" part, the program rusn with no error. Where did I go wrong?
