Multi-Select items in ListBox from VB (1 Viewer)

[BigJimSlade]

Hey, Big Jim here...

I was wondering if there was a way to select multiple items from a list box from VB.

For example, say I have "A", "B", "C", and "D" in a listbox. (I have MultiSelect already turned on.) Now, I want my VB code to highlight both "A" and "B" in the listbox. How would I do this?

I guess I am looking for the VB way to hold down the ctrl key while I select multiple items.

Thanks in advance....Big Jim

This code will highlight the first two items in the list:

Dim i As Integer

For i = 1 To 2
Me.ListBoxName.Selected(i) = True
Next i

Thanks, Jack!

That really helped. I must remind anyone trying to do this that you have to have the multi-select property for the list box set to yes or it will not work.

While we're on this subject - I have a related question I'm hoping someone can help me with.

I'm creating a form that needs to include a multi-select list-box that allows users to enter new records. I haven't yet found a way, however, to commit values selected via this list box into its bound field.

Is it possible to commit multiple selections from a list box into a single field? If so, how can this be achieved?

Any insights into this dilemna are greatly appreciated.

Thanks! - AlX
