Getting the listindex in a listbox 2

[Askeladden]

Getting the listindex in a listbox, without knowing what the position of chosen item.
For ex. I have a name that is in a listbox (which is not visiable). The user types a name into a textbox. Is there a way to get its listindex?

For i = lstItems2.ListCount - 1 To 0 Step -1
If lstItems2.List(i) = txtName.text Then

i would be your listindex

Thank RubenV.
I pressed Submit to fast. The name should be delete from the list.

Pressed it too fast again!
Is there a way to delete the name from the list without knowing its listindex?

No, you need to get the index first.

Use RubenV's example:

For i = lstItems2.ListCount - 1 To 0 Step -1
If lstItems2.List(i) = txtName.text Then
lstItems2.removeitem i
end if
next i
