I'm trying to display the contents of the
me.NamesListBox .SelectedItems property to a label on the
form. This works fine in single selection mode but
there's obviously something wrong with my syntax when
trying to call multiple items. the line in my code below
gives me the pre-compiler error along the lines of
value of type 'system.windows .form.textbox selected
object collection cannot be converted to string
///
Me.ResultLabel. Text = Me.NamesListBox .SelectedItems

any ideas guys, thanks in advance

Firstly, you are getting the error because you did not specify .ToString()
on the end.
Secondly, this will not display anyting meaningfull, simply the
windows.forms.l istbox.selected itemscollection etc
If you want to display a messagebox of all the values concatenated. SubClass
this and override the toString() function and return the strings of all the
items in the collection.

Hi Steve, /// Me.ResultLabel. Text = Me.NamesListBox .SelectedItems ///
I d'nt know if the Option I give beneath is Strict the best but I think you
can go On with it.
\\\\
Dim i As Integer
Me.ResultLabel. Text = Nothing
For i = 0 To NamesListBox.Se lectedItems.Cou nt - 1
Me.ResultLabel. Text = Me.ResultLabel. Text &
NamesListBox.Se lectedItems(i). ToString & vbCrLf
Next

Success

Thanks Cor that worked perfectly, I think thats what One
Handed Man was trying to explain I'm gonna go study it
through to find out how it works exactly, thanks again to
both of you for your help, keep up the good work
Regards, Steve
OK Steve ,
No he was not this is another Option,
Nice that you did reply.
Cor -----Original Message----- :-))

Thanks for in depth analysis of Tic-Tac-Toe, mucho
gracias! on closer examination the first solution I
posted never worked as my error checking at the time
disabled the labels after click to prevent player from
overwriting other players marker, this was a cunning plan
however re-enabling the labels on ClearBoard.Clic k might
have helped. This leads me to believe that the original
do while...loop served the same functionality as the
later for...next, but I realise that there is a
difference between the two. The next tutorial for me is
a hangman game which I'm sure will throw up plenty new
string manipulation problems for me to chew over, will
continue to work on style to maximise legibility of my
code, thanks again, bye for now...

. Hi Herfried thanks for your response, I think this
solution is slightly beyond my ability just now as
DirectCast isn't in my vb vocabulary yet, although it is
always helpful to see there's more than one way to skin a
cat :) I'll try and implement the code in another project
and I'll see how I get on.
Thanks & appreciation for your help

Hi
I have a problem with a Listbox in Tkinter. When I tab through several

though it has been selected with .selection_set. The example below
demonstrates this. Can anyone provide me with some help on this?

Hi there,
I have a list box (just happens to be owner draw). When I select multiple
items using the CTRL key, the items I have selected become highlighted
(obviously). Now, when I click on one of the selected items in order to
initiate a Drag operation, the other items are deselected and the item I
have just clicked becomes the only one selected!
I tested this with a normal list box (not owner draw) on a simple form. I

I want to open a window with a listbox (custlist) in it, but I want to
automatically select a certain item in the listbox, and have it be the
correct selectedindex. The call to open this window knows what it seeks,
which is variable. So one time I may wish to select item 45 (marsdon) and
sometimes item 1997 (albert). How can I do this?
Thanks for any help.

Hi, all,
I know Listbox control has multiple and single mode for item selection.
I need to use multiple selection mode, but I like to select items with
shift or ctrl key and mouse. The reason is I like to select one item
and unselect another one when I only use mouse. This function is just
like window explorer's file selection. Could someone give me some
instructions?

Hello folks,
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.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
