lstStock.Items(x3).attributes.add("style", "color:red")
Exit For
End If
Next x3
I have a list box display on a form. I want to change the forground color of one item using item index. The code "lststock.item(x3).attributes.add("style", "color:red")" does not work. One solution was two pages of code! This s/b simple. I have the INDEX of the list item. I just want to change the words in that item from the color at list build time to red to highlite it!
I'm making a small program in VB.NET. I have a listBox and a button. I'd like to be able to press the button and have the selected listBox item change it's foreColor to green. I've tried many ways of doing this, ranging from overriding the draw method to using a listView (listBox is much better for what I'm doing, please don't recommend that I use a listView, I've already tried it.)At first I thought this would be simple, but it's the exact opposite and I'm very frustrated that such a simple task should be so difficult. I don't want to use any third-party controls, as I'd have to completely re-write my application.

But I want to show name of the students who are currently present in a may be GREEN color, and all other students in RED color by default.

item 0; item 1; item 2; item 3
How can I select that line and change within that line the value of e.g. item 3? (by default it's set to 0 and should be set to a value > 0 when entered by the user.
After that I need to calculate the total price based on the price in item 2 and the new value of item 3 (being >0)

View 10 RepliesI cannot figure out how to change the data in a listbox. I'm being driven completely mad by vb.net, finding it very very complicated.
Ok I have two list boxes on a form that contain correlated data i.e. the first item in the first list box corresponds to the first item in the second list box.
Under the two list boxes I have two text boxes for data entry.
For Example :
LstTagDatabaseLoop LstTagDatabaseSource
TxtTagDatabaseLoop TxtTagDatabaseSource
I want to Add Update and Remove items from the list. If the user selects an item, I want the selected item in the other list to change to correspond. I also want the two text boxes to be udpated with the currently selected item.
[Code].....
however this invoked the selectedindexChanged sub umpteen dozen times and while in the end it did actually update the data, its obviously not the right way.
I found ListViews which perhaps is more appropriate but I couldn't get my head around it at all so returned to trying to use these listboxes. Is there a different object I should be using.
I'm finding vb.net to be too complicated for a hack programmer like myself...
What is the correct way of assigning the selected index's value from a listbox to a variable? The user selects an item in a listbox and then the output changes depending on their selection.
I use:variablename = listbox.text
in the listBox_SelectedIndexChanged event and this works.
When I use the button_click event I use:
variablename = listbox.selectedindex
But this does not work in the listbox_selectedindexchanged event.you let me know if it is okay to use it like I did above or if I will run into problems and why you cannot use the selectedindex method.

View 1 RepliesYou wouldn't think so, but it does when the listbox is bound to a datasource (as far as I can see).
I've reduced the behaviour to the code below. The "if" line toggles between loading a list via data binding and loading a list "manually" (both use the same data table). In each case I set the selected index afterwards, and then change the parent form. With manual loading, the selected index is retained, with binding it is lost. I cannot see how this makes any sense - I don't see why changing the host form should alter any property of the list. Is this a bug?

How can i change the order that the items are added into the listbox? This is the original order:
[Code]....
And so on... What i want to do, in other words, is for the newest added item to be at the top of the list.
i have a listbox that contains the words "week1", "week2",all the way up to "week52" and when i select a week from the listbox it will retrieve a value from a mysql database that will represent a progress bar value. my progress bar has a range of 0-120 and i would like to have all the weeks that have values higher than 100 to be highlighted or marked somehow, in the listbox. so my question is, "is there a way to set the background color of certain weeks in the listbox to orange based on the value that they represent on the database?
for example for "week1", the value is 114, so when the listbox loads, i want the background color of the item "week1" in the list to be orange (indicating that it's current value is higher than 100)? i know that this requires me to implement a user defined drawing function for the listbox items but i dont know where i would even start. i would like this to be somewhat automatic so that it checks the values and changes the background colors of any value higher than 100, instead of me specifying a name of the item.
How would I go about changing the color of a line of text in a Listbox when the user clicks a button? I have tried using ListBox1.Items(ListBox1.SelectedItem).Forecolor = Color.Gray, but I receive the error "Conversion from string "Mathematics 1" to type 'Integer' is not valid."
