Question Working with ListBoxes in VS2005

[will10000]

Hello,

I have a problem using ListBoxes in VS2005

I am making a program which will display 10 randomly generated denary figures to the end user.

These figures will be displayed in a listbox, ten rows down.

Next to the list box will be 10 textboxes; where the end user will enter the 10 binary alternatives to the denary figures.

I have
1) Generated the 10 numbers; into a listbox

2) Converted the numbers into binary as well; for comparison at the end of the quiz

The problem is that:
I don't know how to compair the items in the listbox, with the items in the textbox.

I have managed to do this:

If TextBox1.Text = ListBox1.SelectedItem Then
MessageBox.Show("Correct")
End If

But as you can imagine; this is no way to run a quiz..

This method requires the end user to check that he has entered the correct item each time they fill in the binary alternative.

I am asking whether there is a method to take the items out of the listbox and put them into an array..?

Or maybe (even better) to say something like:

If ... Listbox1.Item1 = Textbox1.Text Then ...

Basically; I need to be able to refer to an individual item in the listbox.. like an index

I know that in an array, one says: strDemo(0)

and that would refer to the first item in the array.

That's the end of the question.

Here's some code used to generate the listbox contents:
Randomize()
Dim intA As Integer
For intA = 1 To 10
ListBox1.Items.Add(Int(Rnd() * 10))
Next

-----------------------------------

Any help would be great since i'm so stuck

Thanks- Will

The ListBox1.Items is a collection of objects. You do not need to move this into an array. You can use ListBox1.Items.Item(0) to reference the first item in the ListBox for instance. Hope this helps.
