listbox

[Anonymous]

im working on a program that places text into a listbox from a .txt file, but what I want to do is when a line in the listbox is clicked it will place the selected text from the listbox and place it into another text feild in a outside program like a word doc, website text field, or just a text field in another program. is there a way to do this? thanks

May be you can do this with DDE, Dinamic Data Exchange, it works fine with Excel and work DDE(Word!) = ListBox1.Text (I don't remmember very well, but is something like this)

To grab the text from the listbox use text=listbox.selecteditem.text then depending on what program you want to write to very simply: OpenFile(1,filename,outputmode) Writeline(1,text) FileClose(1) something like this anyway.
