That's nasty

Care to tell me how to loop over the currently selected items in a multi select list combo box. I've tried deleting by index entries, selected items, collections of indices, and other various combinations. At list point I'm deleting the 1st highlit one and forcing the user to jot the button once for each one, which I consider wrong.

Also, here is an info on getting multiple filenames back from the File Open common dialog: [link\|http://vbnet.mvps.org/index.html?code/faq/cdlgmultiselect.htm\|http://vbnet.mvps.or...lgmultiselect.htm] -- Chris Altmann

Yes, trying to morph it to fit my scenario. My "DataFileBox" is defined as a ListBox. ListBox does not have a ListCount. It seems you are referring to the Item() which is an ObjectCollection, which has a Count(). But then you check to see if the same indexed value is turned on in the Selected list. But the Selected list is a subset of the real list, and the indexes into to that should be the actual index into THAT list, not the matching index in the total list. Am I using the wrong collection to start off with?

My code probably wouldn't work to well in VB.net. I'll get you something more appropriate in a sec. -- Chris Altmann

Post #172,772 by altmann 9/5/04 2:58:15 AM Reply	VB.Net is far better anyways IMHO Try this: \n Private Sub filenameBrowseButton_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles filenameBrowseButton.Click\n If filenameDialog.ShowDialog() = DialogResult.OK Then\n filenameTextBox.Text = filenameDialog.FileName\n End If\n End Sub\n\n Private Sub addFilesButton_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles addFilesButton.Click\n Dim fileName As String\n\n If addFilesDialog.ShowDialog() = DialogResult.OK Then\n For Each fileName In addFilesDialog.FileNames\n filesListbox.Items.Add(fileName)\n Next\n End If\n End Sub\n\n Private Sub removeFilesButton_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles removeFilesButton.Click\n While filesListbox.SelectedIndices.Count > 0\n filesListbox.Items.RemoveAt(filesListbox.SelectedIndex)\n End While\n End Sub\n -- Chris Altmann
