Return a specified item from a list box..

Tichaona J

Hi I am looking for a way to find an item in a list box by its index number, then copy it to a variable any ideas. Thanks

OriginalGriff

Have you tried using it's index number at all?

        ListBox lb = new ListBox();
        lb.Items.Add("Hello");
        lb.Items.Add("Goodbye");
        string s = lb.Items\[1\] as string;

Real men don't use instructions. They are only the manufacturers opinion on how to put the thing together.

I think you meant lb.Items[0]. :) /ravi

Maybe Griff did mean [1] for "Goodbye", as in "Goodbye. Now go look things up in MSDN and/or learn to use Google and stop bothering everyone with elementary questions like that." :)

Heh. But what's obvious to some may not be obvious to others. Isn't that what learning's all about? :) /ravi

Sure, however making some effort yourself can be very rewarding and typically yields more insight. The OP has gotten answers already he clearly is not following up by reading the doc at all. :)

And there was me trying to be subtle... :laugh:

Too much so, I'm afraid. I felt the need to clarify a little. :)

I don't often get told I'm too subtle! Normally it's quite the reverse. It'll be a pipe and carpet slippers next, I'm afraid... :sigh:

Now you've lost me, you really need to start formulating more clearly. :laugh:
