Multiselct ListBox

Hi I have a windows form with 3 ListBoxes.

m_listBoxUsers – this displays all users from a database.
m_listBoxRoles – this displays available roles that can be assigned to users.
m_listBoxUserRo les – this displays the role assigned to a selected user.

When I select a user in m_listBoxUsers and a role in m_listBoxRoles, I can
assign the selected role to the user with the following code. The role is
then added to m_listBoxUserRo les for that user.

This all works for a single selected user. I need to now extend this so that
a selected role from m_listBoxRoles can be assigned to multiple users at the
same time. I’ve changed the m_listBoxUsers SelectionMode property to
MultiExtended, but I can’t get the code to loop through the users.

private void m_buttonAddUser Role_Click(obje ct sender, System.EventArg s e)
{

try
{

// Get the current role index .
int roleIndex = m_listBoxRoles. SelectedIndex;

// Should we ignore the the event?
if (roleIndex == -1)
return;

// Get the current user index.
int userIndex = m_listBoxUsers. SelectedIndex;

// Should we ignore the the event?
if (userIndex == -1)
return;

// Get the identifiers.
m_listBoxUsers. ValueMember = "user_id" ;
int userID = (Int32)m_listBo xUsers.Selected Value;
int roleID = (Int32)m_roleTa ble.Rows[roleIndex]["role_id"];

// Search for an existing row.
DataRow[] rows = m_userRoleTable .Select(
"role_id = " + roleID + " AND user_id = " + userID
);

// Is there already an association?
if (rows.Length > 0)
return;

// Create a new association.
UserRoleManager .Create(userID, roleID);

// Get the roles for the user.
m_userRoleTable = UserRoleManager .FindByUser(use rID).Tables[0];

// Bind the GUI to the table.
m_listBoxUserRo les.DataSource = m_userRoleTable ;
m_listBoxUserRo les.DisplayMemb er = "role_name" ;

_UpdateGUI();

} // End try

catch (Exception ex)
{
MessageBox.Show (ex.Message);
} // End catch

} // End m_buttonAddUser Role_Click()

Hi,
In such a scenario where you have a multiselect list there is no other
option then to interate through all the list item and then check
whether it is selected or not.
SelectedIndex and SelectedValue don't work for such a scenario.

Thanks Angrez, but how do I do this?

Hi,

No really, ListBox support ListBox.Selecte dIndices which is a collection of
the items that are selected.

I've tried the following, but only the first selected seems to work.

private void m_buttonAddUser Role_Click(obje ct sender, System.EventArg s e)
{

try
{

// Get the current role index .
int roleIndex = m_listBoxRoles. SelectedIndex;

// Should we ignore the the event?
if (roleIndex == -1)
return;
// Loop through all items the ListBox.
for (int x = 0; x < m_listBoxUsers. Items.Count; x++)
{
// Determine if the item is selected.
if(m_listBoxUse rs.GetSelected( x) == true)
{

// Get the current user index.
//int userIndex = m_listBoxUsers. SelectedIndex;
int userIndex = x;

// Should we ignore the the event?
if (userIndex == -1)
return;

// Get the identifiers.
m_listBoxUsers. ValueMember = "user_id" ;
int userID = (Int32)m_listBo xUsers.Selected Value;
int roleID = (Int32)m_roleTa ble.Rows[roleIndex]["role_id"];

// Search for an existing row.
DataRow[] rows = m_userRoleTable .Select(
"role_id = " + roleID + " AND user_id = " + userID
);

// Is there already an association?
if (rows.Length > 0)
return;

// Create a new association.
UserRoleManager .Create(userID, roleID);

// Get the roles for the user.
m_userRoleTable = UserRoleManager .FindByUser(use rID).Tables[0];

// Bind the GUI to the table.
m_listBoxUserRo les.DataSource = m_userRoleTable ;
m_listBoxUserRo les.DisplayMemb er = "role_name" ;

_UpdateGUI();
}
}

} // End try

catch (Exception ex)
{
MessageBox.Show (ex.Message);
} // End catch

} // End m_buttonAddUser Role_Click()

I've now made a bit of progess with the following code by deselecting the
first selected, however, I would like to still show which users were
originally selected. Is it possible to store this somehow before I deselect
with

m_listBoxUsers. SetSelected(x, false);


private void m_buttonAddUser Role_Click(obje ct sender, System.EventArg s e)
{

try
{

// Get the current role index .
int roleIndex = m_listBoxRoles. SelectedIndex;

// Should we ignore the the event?
if (roleIndex == -1)
return;
// Loop through all items the ListBox.
for (int x = 0; x < m_listBoxUsers. Items.Count; x++)
{
// Determine if the item is selected.
if(m_listBoxUse rs.GetSelected( x) == true)
{

// Get the current user index.
//int userIndex = m_listBoxUsers. SelectedIndex;
int userIndex = x;

// Should we ignore the the event?
if (userIndex == -1)
return;

// Get the identifiers.
m_listBoxUsers. ValueMember = "user_id" ;
int userID = (Int32)m_listBo xUsers.Selected Value;
int roleID = (Int32)m_roleTa ble.Rows[roleIndex]["role_id"];

// Search for an existing row.
DataRow[] rows = m_userRoleTable .Select(
"role_id = " + roleID + " AND user_id = " + userID
);

// Is there already an association?
if (rows.Length > 0)
return;

// Create a new association.
UserRoleManager .Create(userID, roleID);

// Get the roles for the user.
m_userRoleTable = UserRoleManager .FindByUser(use rID).Tables[0];

// Bind the GUI to the table.
m_listBoxUserRo les.DataSource = m_userRoleTable ;
m_listBoxUserRo les.DisplayMemb er = "role_name" ;

_UpdateGUI();

m_listBoxUsers. SetSelected(x, false);
}
}

} // End try

catch (Exception ex)
{
MessageBox.Show (ex.Message);
} // End catch

} // End m_buttonAddUser Role_Click()

Hi Ignacio,

Actually that is true if you are developing a Windows application but
will not work for web applications. But by checking the status of each
item will apply to both the world.

Hi all, After unsuccessfully trying to make my own dual listbox control out of arraylists, I decided to look for a 3rd party control.

I've seen dual listbox populators in countless Windows applications, and have seen them run very fast, so I figured this would be extremely popular. Here's how it should work:
