ListBox and AnsiString

[davman2002]

I have an extensive understanding of Visual Basic and a basic knowledge of C++. I know that this can be done in C++ however, I am having a major problem trying to understand the AnsiString process. (It is so much easier in VB) My problem is that I need to get a value that is stored in a listbox. I want to know what value that the user has selected. I know how to get the index value of the selected item however I cannot seem to get the actual text value listed in that index. PLease help!!!!!

THanks in advance

I have found out how to do it here is the code for those who may have the same question

{
int Pos = lstNames->ItemIndex;

AnsiString Name = lstNames->Items->operator [](Pos);

int Comma = Name.Pos(","

lblFName->Caption = Name.SubString(Comma+1,50);
lblLName->Caption = Name.SubString(0,Comma-1);

}

 

[butthead]

Edit1->Text = ListBox1->Items->Strings [ListBox1->ItemIndex];
AnsiString string = ListBox1->Items->Strings [ListBox1->ItemIndex];
