Re: list box item |
|

My question was extremely specific, Frank, and written in such a way so that people could provide a quick response. It was obvious from the majority of the respondents that they did not read the question. The majority of respondents assumed the question was how to populate a list box from a text file and that was NOT the question.
Maybe I *was* SNIPPY, but it's sort of like asking for directions to City Hall and being provided directions to the City Library.

What part of this is specific in saying you know how to do it...Nasty!
This seem like the question to me since the other question is like falling
off a log,
or typing a period and looking for a second!!! You'll never get to City Hall
this
way...lost much?

Maybe you still are being snippy. It's not wise to piddle where you eat.

BTW, I did indeed answer your question. What I did not do was provide
complete instructions on how to implement the solution. If you require
an additional level of detail, by all means: ask.
I take exception with your characterization of my response as useless,
pointless or just plain wrong simply because it did not come in
bite-size chunks of code. |

itemno = List.ListIndex
itemno should be a long or integer NOT an object

Re: list box item |

| I may be wrong, but I don't use Listindex because I think the index can be at a certain spot in the list but the item may not be selected, plus I don't know how to use it (if it works) for lists with multiselection. I use the rude and crude method of looping through each list item looking for the items that have Selected(i) = True. Exit the loop at that point if multiselect is not needed. In your case, depending how much text you need to associate and whether or not it is a static situation, you might consider building your list with two columns. Then you do not have to worry about managing two separate lists. You also don't have to display that second column if your user does not need to see it. |
