ListBox Multi Selection Help
« on: November 08, 2008, 01:54 PM »
 Hey, I love C++ Builder and it has surpassed VC++ in every way so far...

 But there is currently one problem that I can't seem to find out... I need to get all the selected strings from a ListBox and I can't find out what function/variable I need to use to do so?

 What I want:

 An array/list of the strings that are selected inside of a listbox. (Or the indexes of them, I know how to do for loops and how to grab the string at a certain index).

 Any help is appreciated (Even a forum where the answer may be easier to get),

The TCheckListBox component has a property called "State" which is indexed by the item number, and returns cbChecked if its checked, or cbUnchecked if not.

so for example if you have
Code: C++ [Select]
  1. TCheckListBox *mylistbox;

and you want to see what items are checked you could do

Code: C++ [Select]
  1. for (int i=0;i<mylistbox->Items->Count;++i)
  2. {
  3.   if (mylistbox->State[i]==cbChecked)
  4.     {
  5.     // item #i is checked
  6.     }
  7. }

 Hey, I checked over the variables again to look for something that was like State... and Found Selected which I apparently tried wrongly before ><... But now I got it working and thanks :D

 Thanks for your help,

sorry i misread.  You can do *exact* same thing just use the property Selected[i] which returns true if it is selected.

Hi,
I am using TList for collection of objects. When my List index do not contain any object it returns me Index out of bound Exception. But I want to Check List before it gives exception.
Plz Help.
