I am working in VB6.


I want to get the itemno for the list text selected from a list box. I want to be able to correspond some data from two text files...one txt file populates the list box and the second txt file lists a corresponding file that would be opened based on the line selected in the list box.

I know it is something like Set itemno = List.ListItem(?)

Thanks,

something like this. Same idea in the click event
to open the file necessary.

Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()
Dim txtFile As Integer: txtFile = FreeFile
Dim nextLine As String

Open "c:\listBoxData.txt" For Input As txtFile

Do Until EOF(txtFile)
Line Input #txtFile, nextLine
ListBox1.AddItem nextLine
Loop
End Sub

Might it be easier to read both files at the same time? You could use
the index number from the list as an index into a collection or dictionary.

None of you answered my question. I know how to populate the listbox using the text file using the methods in your responses.

I want to know once the user has made the selection...I can get the text value, but I can not get the item value (whether it was line 1 or line 50).

ListBox.ListIndex

and if it's not what you wanted maybe a clearer descripton will help

No, that is exactly what I want, but I am still getting an error.

Dim itemno As Integer
Set itemno = lst.Listindex

gets me an object required error.

That's to be expected. 'itemno' is not an object nor does the ListIndex
property return an object reference.

Drop the Set keyword and change itemno to a Long so you don't encounter
overflow errors.
