Retrieve Values from a Multi-Select ListBox

[MMcCarthy]

This is an example of code that uses a multi-select ListBox control. This is an area that seems to cause confusion and difficulty for many of our members.

Dim valSelect As Variant
Dim strValue As String ' just used for the demonstration
 
    For Each valSelect In Me.listboxName.ItemsSelected
        strValue = strValue & "'" & Me.listboxName.ItemData(valSelect) & "', "
    Next valSelect
 
    ' to remove trailing comma
    strValue = Left(strValue, Len(strValue)-2)

I just wanted to expand on this, and show how to get the value of a secondary column in a multiselect listbox:

   Dim v As Variant
   For Each v In Me.ListBoxControl.ItemsSelected
      Debug.Print Me.ListBoxControl.ItemData(v) & " - " & Me.ListBoxControl.Column(1, v)
   Next

Where 1 is used to indicate I want the second column (Since the column count is 0 based)
