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 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 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!

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

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?

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 .

Removing Item From A Combo Box
I have a combo box that is populated from a list of names in a .txt file. I have an option to delete the selected item in the combo box. When a person clicks the delete button, it reads the cboName.Text and opens the file holding the names, and removes that name from the file. That all works great. The only problem is that I want to remove that selected item from the cboName box.

I have tried to use:

x = cboName.Text
cboName.RemoveItem(x)

but, it wants an index passed in instead of a string. I can't use the index, because the index will change frequently (because the data in the file changes frequently).

Does anyone have a suggestion for the best way to remove the selected text fro mthe cboName combo box?

Thanks

Removing Item From Listview
Hello there,

I've just began using a listview object and I've come across a little problem. Whenever I remove an item by index there's a gap left in the list where that item was. What I want to have happen is that the item immediately following moves into the index of the one that was just removed leaving no gap and assuming the index of the removed item. ListBoxes do this automatically. Any ideas?

2 Listboxes, Removing The Item
Hello everyone again :-) Hope your day is going good! I'm stuck on another little problem I'm somehow managed to conjure up.

You see, I want to remove 1 item (first) from the listbox but in turn it will also remove the parallel item from a second listbox.
For example,

first is the first item in the first listbox (listbox.list(0))
cow is the first item in the second listbox (listbox2.list(0)

I want to remove first from the first listbox, and then because that item is gone, it will also remove the first item in the second listbox. Kinda see what I mean?

From there, I'd like to remove any item in the listbox, and have it's 'partner' also removed (don't want to seperate the poor guys).
So if :

third is the third item in the first listbox (listbox.list(2))
and dog is the third item in the second listbox (listbox.list(2))
and I remove, third, from the listbox - dog from the second listbox is also removed.

Any idea's or directions anyone can point me to? I would be greatly appreciative. Thanks kindly in advance!
P.s Incase it crosses your mind, a cmdButton would remove the item.

Removing An Item From A List
Ok ive searched around the forums and can't find something that works for me.

So, i have a program that opens stuff lol, and you can add files to a listview for easier access.

anyways i want users to have the option to remove them from the listbox. Ive been trying things like

VB Code:
list1.removeitem list1.text

but none of the things along those lines work

While i was looking through the forums i saw that when people were removing things from listviews it would leave a gap. If possible i would like this not to happen

Thanks,

Removing An Item From An Array
I have an array Named Listarray. I have another array named SelectedItems.

Listarray holds the value of all the items in the list.

SelectedItems Holds the Value of the Index of any items that have been selected.(Keeps track of MultiSelected List)

My Problem is i cant figure out how when i remove an item from the Listarray:

VB Code:
For i = Index + 1 To UBound(ListArray) - 1 ListArray(i) = ListArray(i + 1) Next i ReDim Preserve ListArray(UBound(ListArray) - 1)

I need to check the SelectedItems Array and if the removed item was one of the selected items then i need to remove it from the selected items as well. I sort of have it worked out but it's not right.

VB Code:
If MultiSelect = True Then For j = LBound(SelectedItems) + 1 To UBound(SelectedItems) If Index = SelectedItems(j) Then For i = SelectedItems(j) + 1 To UBound(SelectedItems) SelectedItems(i) = SelectedItems(i + 1) Next i

I am not sure why it doesnt work. Basically i get a Subscript out of range error some times and overall it just doesnt do anything.

ANyone see what i'm doing wrong? And maybe explain the Logic behind removing an item from an array?

Thanks!!

Removing An Item From An Array
I am working on a project that simulates a catalogue and basket, like you see on internet.

I have a custom data type, basket and an array of this type, cart()

Public Type Basket

itemNum As Long
ItemName As String
Price As Currency
Weight As Variant ' doit être converti en decimal
Color As String
Size As String
Nbr As String
ItemTot As Currency
End Type

Public z As Integer 'compteur pour Cart()
Public cart() As Basket 'déclaration d'une variable basket de type basket

I have a form basket, which uses an array of controls (labels) to display the contents of the basket. I would like the user to be able to click on an Item number and then on the button 'remove' to take that particular item out of the basket. To do this, I try to get the index of lbItemNum, but my code always gives the index of the first item in the basket, not the index of the item that was clicked on. Does anyone have any ideas?

here's the code:

Private Sub cmdRemoveItem_Click()

x = lbItemNum(Index)
m$ = lbItemNum(x).Caption 'to test value of x
MsgBox m$ 'always gives first item in list
eraseItem x
End Sub

Private Sub eraseItem(ByVal itemNum As Long)

Dim i As Long
For i = itemNum To UBound(cart) - 1
cart(i) = cart(i + 1)
Next
ReDim Preserve cart(UBound(cart) - 1)
z% = UBound(cart)
End Sub
