Finding In a ListBox

[TriCk]

How do u find a username in a listbox?

[Noodlez]

you loop through every item in the listbox and compare the value of the current item with the username you want to find

Here's an example which might help. This piece of code searches a listbox for a string (say, a persons username). If it finds it, the loop exits.

Code Select Expand


For i = 1 To ListBoxName.ListCount
    If StringYouareComparing = ListBoxName.List(i) Then
        found = True
        Exit For
   Else
        found = False
   End If
Next i

ok ill try that...
Is found supposed to be a string, integer or something?

[Zakath]

Looks like it's supposed to be a boolean: it's assigned the values "true" and "false."

[Eternal]

Yes, it is a Boolean. I didn't put the declares in...

Code Select Expand


    If StringYouareComparing = ListBoxName.List(i-1) Then

I believe it should actually be that since the list starts at 0.

[Eternal]

Actually, you are right.

Thanx, I'll give it a go...
