question about listbox(s)

[veltesian]

i was wondering how can a listbox be populated with items at runtime or when the form loads?

[Paul Squires]

You can initialize, load or modify the listbox when the form loads by manipulating the listbox during the Form's Load event.

well i could take a look at the template where it lets you build a listbox on its own form window....
i could look to that & see if there's any programming code i could use to code the initialize/etc events
at form load... otherwise i wont know what programming code i would need to use for that...

originally i had a thought it could be as easy as: Form1.ListBox1.AddItem (0)... & so on. but
i don't think that will work...

no that won't work, maybe you can check the WinFBE editor help

[veltesian]

thanks jermy for showing me that....

at first i was confused in how/where to look for info on those controls. i did see the tab "controls"
at first i didnt think of it as a clickable tab but then i looked i was unsure how to word the
programming code there. i realize that it be a silly thing for me to not think of that.
i'll begin to work on using some of those snips i see in the newly seen help area....
thanks again jermy & to everyone in the forum who has helped me learn.

it is very much appreciated....
