How can you
1.) Get the text of an item selected?
2.) Get the index number of the item selected?
3.) Tell if the user clicked in a blank area?
 
1) listBox.SelectedItem.Text
2) listBox.SelectedIndex
3) listBox.GetChildAtPoint(...) != null
 
Hi,

<snip>

Little errata:

1) listBox.GetItemText(listBox.SelectedItem)

But i don't know how it works if nothing is selected.
2) listBox.SelectedIndex
Click to expand...
3) listBox.GetChildAtPoint(...) != null
Click to expand...

I'm not sure if this method works as John wants.
ListView has "GetItemAt(...)" that can return that info,
but i think that ListBox hasn't any method able to
do it "directly".

Regards

Marcin
 
Hi Violeta,
1) listBox.SelectedItem.Text
Click to expand...

SelectedItem has no Text property brcause it is of type Object. As long as
the Listbox uses ToString method to get the text
listBox.SelectedItem.ToString() would be the correct way.
2) listBox.SelectedIndex
Click to expand...

For 1) and 2 is multiselect is enabled SlectedItems and SelectedIndices
should be used
3) listBox.GetChildAtPoint(...) != null
Click to expand...
It won't do as long the list box noramlly doesn't have child controls.
the correct would be

listBox.IndexFormPoint(...) != ListBox.NoMatches
