ListBox and List

If I have a List<and a ListBox.DataSou rce = List then it initially displays
OK, but if I change the order of the List, the displayed text in the ListBox
doesn't.

How do you make this happen ?

The ListBox internally keeps its own copy of the data. So you'll have
to rebind to the data source like this:
ListBox1.DataSo urce = null;
ListBox1.DataSo urce = sourceList;

Thanks, I actually did away with the datasource and did it myself.

Is there any reason, do you think, why they didn't make the collection for a
ListBox a List ? This would then enable you to use the List functions on a
ListBox (which seems logical to me).

Hello All, I'm trying to get a "Virtual Listbox" to work. I've currently got a form, and used CreateWindowExA to create a ListBox with the LBS_OWNERDRAWFIXED and LBS_NODATA flags on it. I've allso subclassed the window and do see all kinds of WS_??? messages coming by. But now I'm stuck :-\ I've got *no* idea what to do next, and all my searching on the web leads me

I have have two list boxes. One is a listing of all possible variables. We'll call this listbox A. The other is a listing of all the selected variables. We'll call this listbox B. If a person double-clicks on one of the variables in listbox A it "moves" it to listbox B. What is going on behind the scenes is that the table that holds all these variables has a yes/no field call Print. When the user double clicks on the value it fires a...

Hello, I have a ListBox control on a form. I add members of a class to the Items collection. They show up and I can select them. The text shown is from my classes ToString override. Now, later on I need to update this item. I find it in the Items collection and update a member used by the ToString member function. However, the text shown for the item in the ListBox does not change.

(If you've seen this in the drawing NG, sorry. I inadvertently sent it there.) I have a listbox populated with Objects. The Class has a String field that ToString returns. I assume that is what the ListBox uses for its display. Correct?

I have a .net app that a user currently enters a number in a text box, hits a button and a data call is executed. She wants the ability to enter in multiple numbers (up to 100). So to make things look better visually for that, I created a listbox under the text box. She enters the number in the text box, clicks another button I added and the number is stored in the list box. Then my plan was to grab all those numbers from the list box...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
