ListBox

[kush28]

Hello there

i need some help

i have 2 forms, mainform, jobForm

On the mainform i have a listbox, lstBox1 and it has been populated with some items.

When i double click on one item inside the listbox it should open up jobform.
JobForm have 2 buttons, SAVE and CLOSE.

IF the user clicks on SAVE --> it should remove the item from the listbox.
IF the user clicks on CLOSE --> it shouldnot remove the item from the listbox.

Can someone please help me with this code.

Thanks

Please post in the most appropriate forum. Moved from VS.NET General to Windows Forms.

1. Handle the DoubleClick event of the ListBox.
2. Use the SelectedIndex or SelectedItem property of the ListBox to decide what data to send to the jobForm if necessary.
3. Display the jobForm by calling ShowDialog.
4. Assign DialogResult values to the two buttons. Yes and No or OK and Cancel would be the logical choices.
5. When DialogResult returns it will give you the DialogResult value of the Button that was pressed. Use this value to decide whether to delete the SelectedItem from the ListBox or not.

I suggest that you tackle these steps one at a time, not moving on to the next until the current is complete. If you have issues with a step then post a question back here. I'm not giving code because I suspect that this is homework.

Better use ListBox.IndexFromPoint then SelectedIndex

Er... there goes the example code I dutifully prepared and tested for this post .

Good point. I was thinking that the DoubleClick event wasn't raised if you clicked in an empty area but it's the ListView that behaves that way, not the ListBox.

I could be wrong.
