Simple VB ListBox question

Private Sub List1_Click()
Dim i As Integer
For i = 0 To List2.ListCount - 1
    List2.Selected(i) = False
Next i
End Sub
 

and
Private Sub List2_Click()
Dim i As Integer
For i = 0 To List1.ListCount - 1
    List1.Selected(i) = False
Next i
End Sub

too late.

Ah!, but with that code, item selected in click event is not true.


Private Sub List1_Click()
List1.Selected(List1.ListIndex) = True

Dim i As Integer
For i = 0 To List2.ListCount - 1
    List2.Selected(i) = False
Next i
End Sub


Private Sub List2_Click()
List2.Selected(List2.ListIndex) = True
Dim i As Integer
For i = 0 To List1.ListCount - 1
    List1.Selected(i) = False
Next i
End Sub

Select or deselect all the ListBox items in the specified range use newState = True to select, or False to deselect
it affects all items if the last two arguments are omitted

Welcome to the wonderful world of cascading events...

Add a module level boolean to supress events in emoreau's code:

Private mbSuppressClick As Boolean

Private Sub Form_Load()
   With lbCat
       .AddItem "Cat 1"
       .AddItem "Cat 2"
       .AddItem "Cat 3"
       .AddItem "Cat 4"
       .AddItem "Cat 5"
   End With

   With lbPos
       .AddItem "Pos 1"
       .AddItem "Pos 2"
       .AddItem "Pos 3"
       .AddItem "Pos 4"
       .AddItem "Pos 5"
   End With

   With List1
       .AddItem "Cat 1"
       .AddItem "Cat 2"
       .AddItem "Cat 3"
       .AddItem "Cat 4"
       .AddItem "Cat 5"
   End With

   With List2
       .AddItem "Pos 1"
       .AddItem "Pos 2"
       .AddItem "Pos 3"
       .AddItem "Pos 4"
       .AddItem "Pos 5"
   End With

End Sub

Private Sub lbCat_Click()
Dim i As Integer
   If mbSuppressClick = True Then Exit Sub
   mbSuppressClick = True
   For i = 0 To lbPos.ListCount - 1
       lbPos.Selected(i) = False
   Next i
   mbSuppressClick = False
End Sub

Private Sub lbPos_Click()
Dim i As Integer
   If mbSuppressClick = True Then Exit Sub
   mbSuppressClick = True
   For i = 0 To lbCat.ListCount - 1
       lbCat.Selected(i) = False
   Next i
   mbSuppressClick = False
End Sub

Thanks guys,
 This suggestion by emoreau worked fine.

if you have many items into your lists, ameba comments can make a big difference in performance.

 "ameba" comments?
 Heard of it, how do you do them?
 
 Thanks.
