Handling multiple selections 1

[BostjanPerdan]

Hi!

I would like to know, how can I access or find out in code which items were chosen in a MultiSelect ListBox?

ListBox.Value won't work in this case. I have already searched the help but I couldn't find anything useful.

Cheers,
Bostjan

Have a look at the Selected property of the ListBox object.

Hope This Helps, PH.

See 'Selected' property.

Hi all!

The Selected property enables me to find out which entries were selected in a multi select ListBox via their index value. Unfortunately this doesn’t do it for me, because I would like to find out the contents (strings) of the selected entries because the number of entries in the ListBox and their contents wary each time, the code is used. Do I have to make a special list with index numbers and appropriate entries and update it regularly to get this information or is there an easier way around this?

Cheers,
Bostjan

Having index, you can get the contents via List property of ListBox.
