changing the highlight color of the selected row in a listbox

[MBall2003]

i have form with two listboxes right next to each other
there tab indexes are 1,2

i just want to know if there is a way to change the highlight or disable the row selected so the user can tell that they tabbed over to the next list box


any help would be greatly appreciated thanks

Easy as you please. Set an On Enter event for your first list box that reads:

Me.List1.BackColor = 10092543 (or whatever color value you want to assign)

Then set an On Exit event that reads:

Me.List1.BackColor = 16777215

Do the same for any other items you want to highlight.
