List Box problems

[nomi2000]

Hi guys
I have two list boxes and i want to move some items from one list to other list box so i have 4 buttons for
1) add selected items from listbox1 to listbox2
2) add all items from listbox1 to listbox2
3) remove selcted items from listbox2
4) remove all from listbox2
can some one help me how i can achieve this?
also i want to hide something behind the listbox in Visual basic 6.0 i can do this by "ItemData" but is anything similar to this in .Net listbox? i want to hide ID behind the data
thanks in advance

Yeah, you can do both.

If you were say, transfering a selected item to list box 2, in your button, you might have something like:

ListBox2.Items.Add(ListBox1.SelectedItem)

As far as the VALUE of an item, its not like the list control in Web Forms. Look at this article in help "ListControl.ValueMember Property" about using ArrayLists.

Better late than never!

'### To add
Dim intX As Integer
Dim strCode As String
Dim strName As String

For intX = 0 To lstListbox.Items.Count - 1
If lstPractices.Items(intX).Selected Then
'### Copy into Selected box
strCode = lstListbox.Items(intX).Value
strName = lstListbox.Items(intX).Text
lstSelectedListbox.Items.Add(New ListItem(strName, strCode))
End If
Next


'### To Remove - add in a loop to remove all
Dim lsiItem As ListItem = New ListItem()
lsiItem = lstSelectedListbox.SelectedItem
lstSelectedListbox.Items.Remove(lsiItem)

May not be the best way, but I'm new to .NET and it works for me.
