.NET Forum / Windows Forms / WinForm General / May 2007Value in ListBox.Items.Add
Hi, How do I add items in ListBox in VB.NET with the value; ListBox.Items.Add("Text") only assign the text instead of the values. Thnx > Hi, > How do I add items in ListBox in VB.NET with the value; > ListBox.Items.Add("Text") only assign the text instead of the values. > > Thnx Hi, Cerebellum Check the item property, e.g.: ListBox.Items.Item(lIdx).ToString Regards, Petar Atanasov http://a-wake.net > > Hi, > > How do I add items in ListBox in VB.NET with the value; [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > Regards, > Petar Atanasovhttp://a-wake.net What I'm trying to do is populate a name as display, but returning selectedvalue upon click. With ListBox.Items.Add(name) only adds the display value, not the selected value. isn't ToString is just what is displayed? >>> Hi, >>> How do I add items in ListBox in VB.NET with the value; [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > display value, not the selected value. isn't ToString is just what is > displayed? hmm there is obvously something that I miss... Does the ListBox.SelectedItem contain what you need ? SelectedItem holds the item, while SelectedIndex points to it's index in the collection. OnClick you can capture them both and return, pass, etc. what's needed...

It deals with ValueMember of ListControl not with the actually selected Item (as you cen see in the Object Browser)... Regards, Petar Atanasov http://a-wake.net > >>> Hi, > >>> How do I add items in ListBox in VB.NET with the value; [quoted text clipped - 20 lines] > Regards, > Petar Atanasovhttp://a-wake.net i want to set the value, not retrieve it. say that i have a table with the fields userid.string and username.string and i want to put some records into the table with the displayname: username. so i can handle events (like click) to the appropriate userid with the SelectedValue of the list. I can do this using the data binding the control, but how do i do it in code? >>>>> Hi, >>>>> How do I add items in ListBox in VB.NET with the value; [quoted text clipped - 26 lines] > I can do this using the data binding the control, but how do i do it > in code? I don't see the reason of such approach, still more there is a plethora of data toys - Dataset, Table, ArrayList, ListControl, etc. Choose a tool, furnish it, than bind the control - couldn't be more neatly.
