Selecting second to last item of a list box

[janriis]

Hi all

In my VB6 app, I have a list box where I must select a specific item. The item is always the second to last item. I think it is something with itemcount -1, but I am not sure how the syntax is.

Anyone ?

[nil]

Hi

you can do it with itemcount-1

but i suggest you to select with item text,

.select "text"

using above statement you need not worry at what index your item is.

Thanks

Hi Nilesh

If i use .select "text" my script is not dynamic. The items change names for each run, but not position.

[nil]

Code:

GetROProperty("items count") 'Returns item count
.WebList("mylistSelect  "#" & num1 -1

Try this code


Thanks

@Nilesh: Fyi, Janris issue was with "VbList" not the "WebList" and your solution works fine for WebList.

@janris: For VbList object, you can try with the below way.

Code:

ListItemCount=VbWindow("frmMain").VbWindow("...").VbList("...").GetItemsCount
   VbWindow("frmMain").VbWindow("...").VbList("...").Select ListItemCount-2

Note: As the Items in VbList are stored from index "0" :
If we want to select Last item --> .Select ListItemCount-1
If we want to select Second to Last item--> .Select ListItemCount-2

Hope this would solve your issue.

Hi Janriss,

Whether you try to lake the value with the help of Index property.

Thanks'
