how to copy selected item from listbox control

10
Hi,

I am currently trying to copy a single selected item from a listbox control in vba (excel).

So far I have got this code, which doesn't work.

<code>

Private Sub btnAddNewOrder_Click()

Dim sSelectedItem As String = ""


'If no item has been selected, show a error message box
If lst.SelectedItem = 0 Then
Call MsgBox("Please make a selection first")
Else

'Copy Selected Row to a string array
lst.SelectedItem.CopyTo(sSelectedItem, 0)

'Paste string array into existing sheet (order) creating a unique orderID
Sheets("Order").Select
ActiveSheet.Paste
Sheets("Search").Select

End If


End Sub

</code>

Could someone please tell me what I am doing wrong as I am puzzled to what I am doing wrong.

I have used the SelectedItems function as described on msdn but could not find in depth info on the topic.

Thanks for looking!

Rob
