Listbox issues
 

Hi NG

I have populated a listbox by using listbox1.rowsource
There are many similar entries in the listbox.

The user can then an entry and the listbox_change() callback is called. In
this callback I would like to be able to extract the rownumber of the users
selection e.g. rownumber == 3 if the user chooses row 3 in the listbox. The
reason that I do not use Listbox.value is as i mentioned before the many
similar entries in the listbox.

Regards
Mark

Answering my own question.
Just ad 1,2,...,n in a column i the rowsource and hide the column by setting
the columnwidth property in listbox

If you have singleselect use

listbox1.listindex

which returns the row number 0-based.

If you have multiselect you need to loop through the list
and check if the ith row is selected via

listbox1.selected(i)=True

Mark,

Have you looked at the ListIndex property?
