Listbox Questions

[Trogdor]

Ok.. I haven't really done much with listboxes before so any help would be appreciated..

I have two listboxes which values are associated to events. These events are triggered using buttons, for capturing data. so For example, someone walks into a room a button is pressed, when they take a seat in the room a button is pressed.. so button are associated to events and the listboxes are to organise who the event belongs too. The problem is that sometimes I need the listboxes to always be unselected unless the listbox is clicked. So anyother time nothing can be selected. I have tried..

   Dim RescanItem as long

    For RescanItem = 0 To Me.lstRescan.ListCount - 1
        Me.lstRescan.Selected(RescanItem) = False
    Next

but that didnt work for me for some reason.

I also need to check if something is selected in a listbox when i click a button. As some buttons can be pressed without having someone in the listbox.

I am not sure how much sense this is making, it is hard to explain I just know what i need to do but not sure how to do it.

As mentioned earlier any help would be fantastic!

Cheers

Tested this and it should work...

    Dim vItem As Variant
    For Each vItem In Me.YourListbox.ItemsSelected
        Me.YourListbox.Selected(vItem) = False
    Next vItem

Which isnt much different from what you have

Awesome thanks for that!

I also realised that when I did a me.refresh it was re-selecting items in the list boxes, so I just ran the function after a refresh

I am still unsure on the checking to see if an item is selected inside the listbox though, but I am now thinking i might be able to see if me.listbox.ItemSelected = true??

Haven't tested it yet just thinking out loud and looking for ideas

You could use listindex property to check if an item is selected.
