VS 2010 Checking Listbox Items For Duplicate Before Adding New Item?
Sep 8, 2011
How would one go about checking a listbox's items for duplicates? Basically I need to write a program that displays the teams from a text file provided by my instructor, in alphabetical order. I can do that, but what I can't figure out is how to prevent the For loop from adding a duplicate team. What I'm envisioning is:
If teams(i).name is not in lstTeams.Items Then
lstTeams.Items.Add(teams(i).name)
End If
I have a program that compiles and works so far, except for the above problem and my alphabetical order (which I can probably figure out on my own:
Public Class danbrockteams
Structure team
Dim name As String
[Code]....
This works except that my listbox is filled with the team every player is in rather than just listing all possible teams. Not exactly looking for someone to just give me the answer, as I understand things best when figuring them out on my own, so I suppose a hint is what I'm really after.

So I'm using the following code to add items into my list box, and I'm trying to get it to check the contents of the list box as well.
Private Sub Button3_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button3.Click
If ListBox2.Items.Contains(TextBox3.Text) Then
MsgBox("Character already exists!")
Else
ListBox2.Items.Add(New LBnfo With {.v4 = RadioButton6.Checked,
[Code] .....
But when I try to compare the two:
If ListBox2.Items.Contains(TextBox3.Text) Then
MsgBox("Character already exists!")
Else
It doesn't show the message box even when the character actually does exist. I believe the problem is that I never do add the item really. I just use, "Return Me.character," which is assigned the value of Textbox3. So I just need to figure out how to check Me.character before returning it.

I'm trying to add a string to a listbox if there is none exact string existed inside, but it turns out a very weird error. Look at this.
On form_load, I have this:
AddHandler Server1.OnUserLoggedIn, AddressOf HandleUser
And then,
Public Sub HandleUser(ByVal username As String)
'Here, you handle adding the text to a text box.
Me.Invoke(New PrintMessageDelegate(AddressOf AddUser), username)
End Sub
[Code] .....
The output is when I connect the first client, it works fine. But, when I try to connect the second client, it prints out three times both the listbox1 item and the txtDisplay. It's like get caught in loop, but I have tried other kind of loops like for each and other string comparison too, still work that way.

I often get given Excel spreadsheets of file names and have to check through them for duplicate names.I am making an app to do this for me. I've extracted the data from Excel I'm just having issues with checking for the duplicate. I've tried 2 different ways I found online and neither are working for me,

I am being forced to us Option Strict in my class and this is a new feature to me. Right now my code is having trouble comparing the current time to be added (A Date) with the list of times (Object). Here is my complete code
Option Strict On

' handles Add button user event
Private Sub addButton_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, _

Problem is inside TimeTaken Function, inside the For.. Until. Basically the If... Then Statement. I tried. .contains, Select Case, and a few other alternatives.

I googled to find how I can change the items forecolor or backcolor. I want the items containing "Unmatched" to be one color and "Matched" another.

I have this line of codes here to check if the records exist.
Try
If StudentInfoBindingSource.Find("StudentNumber", StudentNumberTextBox.Text) = -1 Then
ToolStripLabel4.Visible = True
[Code].....
This codes works perfectly but there is a problem, if I close that certain form and reopen it and try to input the same student number, the ex.Message for the Try appears and still the progressbar() command executes although the data will not be saved. I want to ged rid of the execution of progressbar() how can I make it work? And as much as possible I want the message box in Else to be executed and not the msgbox in try catch.

My program is half a formulator, and half ordering system. Where I get stuck is the ordering system part. In one screen I have 5 check boxes that you can check for which products you want to order. The products you checked then get sent to another screen and put into a list box with a quantity variable that starts at 1 attached to it. Now, if you check the same product again, another time through the program, as of now, quantity accumulates to 2, which is good, that's what I want. My problem is I want quantity to keep accumulating, right now it accumulates to 2, then on a third pass through the program,it duplicates the entry, so now in the list box has the original product and quantity of 2, and another entry that has the product with quantity of 2. 't quite understand how they work. Here's the code:
Option Explicit On
Option Strict On
Public Class OrderRequest

My code follows. I have six items (indices 0-6) and I'm trying to check if one has been selected or not. If not, then messagebox yells at you to select one. If it does, it tells you what you have selected. I'm having a horrible brain fart and contemplated coming here for about 45 minutes as I couldn't get it.
If ListBox1.SelectedItem.ToString <> "" Then
MessageBox.Show("You selected " + ListBox1.SelectedItem.ToString)
Else
MessageBox.Show("Please select an item.")
End If

I am currently working on some tools and I am having some troubles adding new lines in a listbox.
vb.net
For i = 0 To lstFiles.Items.Count - 1
Process.Start("C:UT2004Systemucc.exe", "compress " & lstFiles.Items.Item(i))
If IO.File.Exists(lstFiles.Items.Item(i) & ".uz2") Then
[Code].....
The meaning of this code is that if the file exists, it will add a new line called Success below the dragged fileline. If the file doesn't exist it will create a new line called Fail below the dragged fileline.

For the last couple of days I been trying to add items to a listbox from another class within a system.timer.
They just don't appear in the listbox. I don't get any errors. The items just don't get added :S.
I have:
Form.vb
make object of Control
Control.vb
Here I have a system.timer
In the Timer_Elapsed method I do this: form.listbox1.items.add("hello")
But it just doesn't work... When I add a new item to the listbox1 from the constructor or another method that has nothing to do with the timer it works...

I have been out of VB since VB 6, but am back into it to write a basic app. I have created a listbox and am able to add data to it from a textbox via a command button. However, I want to give the user the option to simply press the enter key after they have entered the info the textbox, instead of clicking on the command button. I tried calling the function the command button is using from the "ENTER" event on the textbox, but all that does is execute the function when I click on the textbox? I'm sure this is very simple. What am I missing?

I have a checkedlistbox with numbers in it and I'm trying to load a list of numbers from a database and check all of them (they should all be in the checkedlistbox).
I was trying to do this by loading all the values into a separate listbox using my own subroutine (I know that part works) and then finding the corresponding item on the checkedlistbox, like this:
Dim ItemName As String
For Each item In ListBox1.Items
ItemName = ListBox1.GetItemText(item)
If CheckedListBox1.Items.Contains(ItemName) = true Then
CheckedListBox1.SetItemChecked(CheckedListBox1.Items.IndexOf(ItemName), True)
End If
Next
End If
But this doesn't work: It never returns a match, even when the item is definitely on the list. How do I make this work?

I have a small program that talks to a server, grabs the content from a website using a php webscraping program and then places the results in a listbox as a string. My problem is taking this string and creating a list from it. Each item in the string is followed by a | (pipe). I have included the code that I've tried below:
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Dim str As String
Dim start As Integer = 1
