Hello everyone. im stuck on a little problem and I have no idea how to work it out.

This is what I would like to do:

I have a form ' frmJobDatabase ' which has a Data1 control which can seacrh through records that are created by the end user.

I have another form ' frmStage ' which has a listbox on it, ' lstRegistration '

What I would like to do is insert whatever is entered in a certain text box ' txtReg ' from the form ' frmJobDatabase ' into the list box ' lstRegistration ' on the form ' frmStage '

How would I go about it ?

Thankyou

To enter the value of a textbox in a listbox you can do :

[vb:1:4c9e4f5ca2]ListBox.AddItem TextBox.Text[/vb:1:4c9e4f5ca2]

and just fix the names and specify the forms...

So I guess :

[vb:1:4c9e4f5ca2]frmStage.lstRegistration.AddItem frmJobDatabase.txtReg.Text[/vb:1:4c9e4f5ca2]

However, I don't think that is what you want exactly... Could you explain a little more?

Thanks

That does exactly what I wanted. I guess I shold have mentioned this part in the earlier post but now that I can enter text into the listbox, how can I get it to save all items that are inside the listbox because everytime I close the form they all dissapear.

Thankyou for your reply P.T.A.M

Hi dark_syde,

You must be unloading the form. Where as you should just make it disappear if you want to keep the listbox content stay in the listbox. Hiding the form will flush the content of the listbox.

To hide a form you use the following:

[vb:1:ffd6a154bc]Me.Hide[/vb:1:ffd6a154bc]

Hope this helps!

Thanks!

You can use the SaveSetting and GetSetting functions to save and get data from the registry Or you can always save to a file and load back. Or an ini file. Are you familiar with these options? If you need any help, just ask
