Clicking different CommandButtons on a VB6 Form adds the Captions of
the CommandButtons as items in a ListBox one below the other. For e.g.
when a user clicks the CommandButton "5", "5" gets added as the 1st
item in the ListBox. Next when the user clicks the CommandButton "2",
"2" gets added as the 2nd item in the ListBox below "5" so on & so
forth. I want that when an item gets added to the ListBox, that item
should get highlighted/selected. For e.g. when "5" gets added to the
ListBox, "5" should be highlighted/selected. Next when "2" gets added
to the ListBox (below "5"), "2" should be highlighted/selected. How do
I do this?

Thanks,

Arpan

' List1.AddItem( "2" )
List1.ListIndex = List1.NewIndex

Yep, I stopped reading at "highlighted" and missed "selected"

Bob, the code you provided also selects/highlights the just added item
to the ListBox; so what difference does it make if I use your code or
Phill's code as both the codes do the needful.

Thanks once again & thanks to Phill as well.

Set the .MultiSelect option of the listbox to allow multiple selections and
you'll see a difference. Mine selects each item; Phil's sets the currently
selected item to be the newest item. Both are useful but it depends on what
you want.
