for C# in .NET

in the .cs code behind file, can i highlight (select) items in a ListBox?

i need to select items in a ListBox in the .cs file

is there a property like that?

thanks in advance

 

I'm sure i can help if you rephrase the question. It seems you are trying to open the file with the code? or are yuo trying to make a list box and select multiple items at once?

 

i work mostly with win32 api stuff, so dunno much about c#, but in most cases the items in a listbox should be an array. try something like this:

listbox.items[0].selected = true;

could be a bit screwed up, but to do whatever it is you're going for, you almost certainly need to access the items[] array.

 

c# looks alot like java

 

ok looks like i did have a c# tool on my system after all. you can do it by the item name like so:

listBox.SelectedItem = "your item";

or you can do it by the item's position in the array, collection, or whatever it's called in c#:

listBox.SelectedIndex = 2;

i figured he's using winforms (because of the ".cs code behind file" part) and just wants to write the code to highlight a listbox item

sent ya a pm regarding your question

 

ops, i found a way

to select all listbox items:

foreach(ListItem i in ListBox.Items)
{
i.Selected = true;
}

and i assume i can do something like this:

ListBox[i].Selected = true

to select a certain item(s) in the ListBox
