How to Include List Box control in your project

A list box is used for representing the users with a data. You can prefer the data from the list box for data entry. No editing is possible in the list box. If you want to edit you must use a combo box control.

Illustration: A Project to describe the Use of List Box

1) Establish a new Project by choosing a File and then the New Project.

2) Suppose the project type be Standard EXE.

3) Add a list box and a text box to the form.

4) Double click on the form. And add the coding given below:

Private Sub Form_Load()

List1.AddItem "a"

List1.AddItem "b"

List1.AddItem "c"

List1.AddItem "d"

End Sub

This will generate a list box as shown in the figure with the contents a, b, c & d.

5) Relate the click event with the list box

Private Sub List1_Click()

Text1.Text = List1.Text

End Sub

Whenever an item is clicked in the list box, the contents will be transferred to the Text Box.
