[Question] Listbox and button.

[Neth'zul]

I have NOT been able to freaking figure this out lol.

Lets say I have a List Box and a button. Is there any way of selecting something from the box AND clicking the generate so you get want you want.

If you don't get me lol then here, I want to make a key gen for shitz and giggles.

Private Sub ListBox1_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles ListBox1.Click
        If ListBox1.SelectedItem = "1503 A.D.: A New World" Then
            Dim key As Integer
            key = Int(Rnd() * 10)
            Select Case key
                Case 1
                    TextBox1.Text = "5447-7278892-7648258-2126"
                Case 2
                    TextBox1.Text = "9750-0553133-8300899-5758"
                Case 3
                    TextBox1.Text = "2012-1236143-5723266-5867"
                Case 4
                    TextBox1.Text = "3475-0914223-0632734-6745"
                Case 5
                    TextBox1.Text = "9385-8677964-7296207-4572"
            End Select

I got that but I want it so that you select, lets say CoD4, then you press Generate THEN it generates the code, not when you click on an Item in the List Box. get meh? lol.

+rep for help.

Just put that code in your button1_OnClick event handler?

Also I suggest changing it to a combo box, so you can just check via index, instead of an unsafe typecast.

You don't mean a Key generator; You mean a Key distributor. This would not generate keys, just distribute keys.

Also, use a Combo box.. This though is what I think you mean to do; Handle the selection under a BUTTON.click not the List box.click, Your sub is

Private Sub ListBox_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles ListBox.Click

This should be under a button handle like such..

Private Sub Button_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button.Click

Notice where Button_Click is just the identifier of the Sub and does not matter unless it's conflicting; But the Handle must be handling your ButtonName.Click

Thanks a bunch guys.

Edit: sorry apoc gotta spread rep around.

And would it be like this?
If ComboBox1.SelectedItem = "1503 A.D.: A New World" And Button1.Click Then

[Apoc]

Erm... no.

Double click Button1 to create the Button1_OnClick event handler.

Then just put your code in there. (Again, use a combo-box instead of listbox if at all possible. Or just check via index instead.)

[suicidity]

Apoc's dead on ^^.

Instead of double clicking on your list-box in your form designer, double click your button.

Yea, I got it guys, thanks a bunch!
