I have a multi-Selection list box, and a label that says "0 names selected".

What do I use, if the user selects 3 names in the listbox, in order for the label to say "3 names selected".

ListIndex, tells me whats been selected, and ListCount tells me how many items in the list.......but what tells me how many items have been selected?

Thanks
 

Excel Facts

Show numbers in thousands?
Use a custom number format of #,##0,K. Each comma after the final 0 will divide the displayed number by another thousand

Here is an example:

Code:
Private Sub ListBox1_Change()
    Dim i As Integer
    Dim Counter As Integer
    Counter = 0
    With ListBox1
        For i = 0 To .ListCount - 1
            If .Selected(i) Then
                Counter = Counter + 1
            End If
        Next i
    End With
    Label1.Caption = Counter & " items selected"
End Sub

Sorry but there's no property that will return a count of the no of items selected.
