Listbox selecteditem - newbie question

[Bill Nguyen]

I created a simple listbox with 2 values in a VB.NET app. When I click on
the up/down arrow to chage the value, selectedItem/selectedIndex value
doesn't change until I click on the text portion to activate it (the
selecteditem text turns blue). Is there any way to get around this extra
clicking?
Thanks
Bill

1. Have one item (the most popular) already selected. or
2. Use radio buttons.
3. Use combo box with most often chosen - already selected

IT's a scrollbar as you put it

Anyway, I think I found the solution by using the TopIndex property to
identify the displaying item's index.

lbProdClass.SetSelected(lbProdClass.TopIndex, True)


p = lbProdClass.SelectedItem.ToString

MsgBox("Product Class selected: " & p)


Thanks again.
