listbox

[mikeymay]

I am trying to loop through a number of items that are in a listbox and to establish if they have been selected or not but just can't seem to get the ListIndex and ListCount right...

Also, how do you specify that a listbox can have multiple items selected?


Thanks

You change the multiselect property of the Listbox to fmMultiSelectMulti or fmMultiSelectExtended, this allows you to select multiple items

Basic syntax is:

for n = 1 to listbox.listcount
if listbox.selected(n - 1) then
' do something
end if
next n

That's got it!

What does the Extended option allow you to do?


Thanks

Thanks RoryA

Have to knock off now but I will check this out when working on it next.

BTW, Multi means you have to click each item individually to select/deselect it. Extended works like Win Explorer - you can Shift+click to select a block of items, then Ctrl+click to add individual ones.
