Add/Remove items in a listBox

[newkid]

Hi, i'm using windows forms and I was wondering how to add to a listBox from a comboBox. Also how to remove an item from the listBox. private: System::Void btnConfirmCommand_Click(System::Object^ sender, System::EventArgs^ e) { this->cmbCommands->Select(); this->lstCommands->Items->Add(cmbCommands); } private: System::Void btnRemoveCommand_Click(System::Object^ sender, System::EventArgs^ e) { this->lstCommands->Select(); this->lstCommands->Items->Remove(lstCommands); }

You need to pass in the actual string you want to add not the ComboBox control.

so i create a string say x, how do you set an item in the comboBox to x? string x; this->cmbCommands->Select(); cmbCommands->SelectedItem; this->lstCommands->Items->Add("x");

Are you in school or leaning by working from a book or what? If you are using a book to start out I think you might need a different book, or you may have skipped some stuff or something. This is very very beginner level stuff and you are already on to list boxes and combo boxes without knowing it. That's probably not a good idea.

This should solve your problem. //To Add if(cmbCommands->Text->Length > 0) { lstCommands->Items->Add(cmbCommands->Text); } //To remove if(lstCommands->SelectedIndex !=-1) { lstCommands->Items->RemoveAt(lstCommands->SelectedIndex); }
