	List Box Basic Question by Stephen J. Orth :: Rate this Message: Reply to Author \| View Threaded \| Show Only this Message I'm just starting to look at the List Box as a possible interface for some of our forms, and have read both the Language and Design reference concerning this object. One question that neither of these deals with is what type of variable is the actual List Box (Longint, Boolean, etc.)? Also, besides the Language and Design references, is there any other recommend reading material concerning List Box's? Thanks in advance!

	RE: List Box Basic Question by Stephen J. Orth :: Rate this Message: Reply to Author \| View Threaded \| Show Only this Message Koen, One quick question... The documentation states that any arrays (except pointers) may be used. Does this include local arrays? Basically, may I use local arrays for the columns and the other configuration arrays?

I noticed this response from Koen. But I didn't know what his answer was. So I checked gMane and there is no evidence of a NUG response. May I ask if Koen sent a private response? If not that would indicate that the NUG message is missing (at least at this moment in time). Anyway, since I am not sure if all messages are being posted I think it would be a good idea that we display the remarks we are responding to in the response. That way the response is self contained. This is very helpful when searching gMane for past responses. Hope that makes sense?

	RE: List Box Basic Question by Stephen J. Orth :: Rate this Message: Reply to Author \| View Threaded \| Show Only this Message Thanks to everyone who has responded to the List Box question I posted. Apparently there is much that is not really documented very well, if at all. Steve -----Original Message----- From: Jack des Bouillons [mailto:jack.desbouillons@...] Sent: Tuesday, November 03, 2009 12:34 PM To: s.orth@... Subject: Re: List Box Basic Question The List Box object itself is a Boolean array. But don't forget that the column headers are buttons (longints)... Also one potential gotcha you might want to look out for... The list box values - such as Size of Array(MyListBox) - may not match the size of it's arrays until the screen refreshes. Say you have a List Box with arrays of 12 elements. Call a routine that sets all the arrays to 0 and then check Size of Array(MyListBox) or Get Number of ListBox rows (MyListBox) - it will still show 12 elements.
