listbox selection behaviour

[RuudS]

I use a userform with also two listboxes. The user is asked to fill some textboxes, select items in comboboxes en select items in those two listboxes (no specific order required).
When a user wants to select an item in one listbox it is done with just one click. So starting of, lets say, a combobox, it only requires one click te select an item in that listbox. To do the same in the other listbox a user has to do two clicks. It seems like it is first necessary to select the listbox before an item can be selected. I cannot find what causes this difference. Both listboxes seem to be similar.

Any hints where this can come from and what to do?

This seems like a bit of a stretch but check the tab order and the tab stop properties of the 2 listboxes. Or is this only about mouse clicks and not tab key? I agree, seems like the first click is required to set the focus. Unless there is code involved that's messing up the behaviour that's all I can think of at the moment.
After the first listbox choice is made, watch to see if focus jumps to some other form control. That might provide other clues.

Hello

include the following in your Userform Initialize code:

me.listbox1.SetFocus

this should solve your problem.

Cheers

Thank you both. I didn't figure out how to change this. @Micron It's is about mouse clicks. I checked tab order. There is nothing strange . After changing it, the issue remains.
@robertvdb Set focus doesn't change it. In trying this I even more think that there are 2 'levels' of focus (the listbox as a whole and the set of items within the listbox). The strange thing is that the two listboxes to me are the same, but behave differently.
By the way: A rigid order of focussing wouldn't be my preference.
