List Box Selected Item

[GazzaN]

We have a listbox and hae selected the item from the list we want and yet cannot appear to transfer the value to label elsewhere. What property stores the value selected from the list of items?

 

[bclt]

ListBox1.SelectedItem

returns the text of what is selected

-bclt

ListBox1.SelectedItem will actually return the Object that is currenty selected. If you populated the list box with strings, this will work fine. If you populated it with a dataset, it will return {datarow}. In that case you want to use:

ListBox1.SelectedValue

which will return the Value member of the selected item.
