I'm using Access 2003.
I have a List Box which I populate by selecting items from a drop down Combo Box. I now want to delete from the List Box only the selected, but not necessarily sequencial items (either one at a time or several).
I found some code at this website: http://www.599cd.com/tips/access/listbox-additem-2000/
The author suggests creating a Text Box, then first temporarily storing the text that is selected in the List Box as follows: - MyText = MyList.ItemData(MyList.ListIndex)
Then, by use of the following code, the text present in the Text Box is used to search the List Box, and the corresponding text is deleted: - Dim S As String
-
S = MyText & ";"
-
MyList.RowSource = Replace(MyList.RowSource, S, "")
The first bit works fine, i.e. the text selected in the List Box appears in the Text Box, but I have no luck when I choose to delete this text from the List Box.
My understanding is that this method would also only work for one line of text, and not multiple selections.
Any suggestions would be helpful.

This approach will only work if the ListBox is populated manually. If RowSource is a query then this will not work.
Multiple selections can be made to work, but I suggest you get the fundamentals working correctly first.

If the Row Source of your List Box is a Value List, you can use the following code which does not require the use of a Text Box: - Dim lst As ListBox
-
Dim intRowCtr As Integer
-
Dim strBuild As String
-
-
'Substitute your own List Box Name
-
Set lst = Me![lstTest]
-
-
With lst
-
If .ItemsSelected.Count = 0 Then Exit Sub
-
-
For intRowCtr = 0 To .ListCount - 1
-
If Not .Selected(intRowCtr) Then
-
strBuild = strBuild & .ItemData(intRowCtr) & ";"
-
End If
-
Next
-
-
strBuild = Left$(strBuild, Len(strBuild) - 1)
-
-
.RowSource = strBuild
-
End With
@NeoPa
Thanks. The Listbox is populated manually - I'll work on the fundamentals first.
@ADezii
Thanks ADezii. I'll give that a try.
@errol999
Ok, this worked perfectly, until I had just one item left if in the List Box. If I try and delete the last item I get run-time error 5 for this line: - strBuild = Left$(strBuild, Len(strBuild) - 1)
which makes sense I think . I've not figured out yet how to get round this but might try putting in an If Then line to deal with this last item. If you have a suggestion that would be great. Thanks

I would replace lines #12 through #19 with : - If Not .Selected(intRowCtr) Then
-
strBuild = strBuild & ";" & .ItemData(intRowCtr)
-
End If
-
Next intRowCtr
-
-
If strBuild = "" Then strBuild = ";"
-
-
.RowSource = Mid(strBuild, 2)
Ok. That did the trick - thanks so much!

Pleased to hear it Errol :)
Basically, each element was attached to a separator character when found. If none was found, then the code that stripped out the separator character would fail as it was expecting one, but we had none there. Adding that to the situation where nothing was found allowed the code to work and pick up the empty string. All fine & dandy.
@NeoPa
Thanks for the explanation which has helped me make more sense of it. I can see I still have a lot to learn, but have picked up some really useful tips on this question. I'll now persevere with getting the rest of the dbase functional!

I'm having an issue with a listbox.
I want to allow users to multi select items in a list box, click a button
and have them moved somewhere else.
This works fine for the the first 2 tries. However, a user also has the
ability to add these items back to the listbox (with the same value and
Text).
The new Items get moved to the bottom of the list box.

Hi ppl,
My owner draw list box controls do not "refresh" old selected items when a
new selection is made. This means that as you click to make selections, the
previously selected items stay highlighted along with the new ones too. It
draws correctly when I minimize the window and then maximise it again, but I
just don't seem to be getting a "DrawItem" event for switching of an item
from Selected to NotSelected! Any ideas???

Hi,
I have a QListview widget that allows me to store a bunch of strings in
it. This strings can be visualized, sorted, selected, etc.
My Problem is that I cant find a way to get the user selected items
back from it! I looked over the Qt documentation many times over but
there is no method to that end.
Any PyQt guru lurking around?

Displaying selected items at the top of the listbox
Hi,
I am having two listboxes - one with ids and second with the related names.
When user selects an item in one listbox, the corresponding item will be
selected in the second listbox too. The problem is, when the user selects an
item and it is in the middle of the list, the user is not able to know
whether it is selected or not. Is there a way to display all the selected
items...

I have a listbox that is databound when my form loads. A user
can then select and option using a drop down box. When the user
selects an option the corresponding items in the listbox gets selected.
How can I show those selected items at the top of my listbox. The
issue is when the user selects an item and it is in the middle of the list,
the user is not able to know an item it is selected or not unless they scroll
through the listbox.

Hi,
I have a listbox (in a user control) which has items add/removed via
javascript (i.e. an "add item" link which uses a popup selection screen to
add items and a "remove item" link which deletes any selected row(s)).
There is a strange problem that when I inspect the list of items during a
postback the list appears to be empty (even though I added items). I noticed
that when I multiselect one or more items, only those selected items...

I have a form that has a list box(multiple values selected) and multiple report names(when clicked on the button, it will run the report) on the form. I have selected multiple items from the list box. Now I want to use the listbox selected items, in the reports query. All the reports have a query attached to it. So I want to use the selected items from the list box in the query, in the In clause of the query. Please help.

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
