Help with listboxes

[adi316]

Hi. I got a prog which has 3 listboxes in a form and as it is right now when i click on an item from a different listbox then the one im in it will select the first item in the list and not the one i clicked on, which is what i want. (i.e: i click on the second item but always selects the first) how do i fix this? TIA!

Check the code in the listbox click event. It may be selecting item 0 all the time.

Hello ....

The number of the item you have selected is in the "Listbox.listindex" property.

As for the problem you've mentioned ... I'm not sure what exactly you want to do but as 'aklein' said try to check the CLICK event of all 3 listboxes to make sure that there are no cascading events.

If you do the following it will result in a cascading effect which eventually will result in an 'Out of Stack error'

---------------------------------------------------------
Private sub Listbox1_Click()
Listbox2.listindex = # 'any number
end sub

Private sub Listbox2_Click()
Listbox1.Listindex = # 'any number
end sub
---------------------------------------------------------

If you click in either listbox (even on an already selected choice) each sub will call the other one on until you run out of memory.
