ListBox Multi Selection Help

[fmwyso]

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: (cpp)

TCheckListBox *mylistbox;

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

Code: (cpp)

for (int i=0;i<mylistbox->Items->Count;++i)
{
  if (mylistbox->State[i]==cbChecked)
    {
    // item #i is checked
    }
}

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

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.

xD, just edited last post... I coulda swore I tried the selected... But i think i used the parenthesis instead of brackets ><.

Thanks for your help .

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.
