VB6 Question

Ok I feel like an idiot, not just for using VB6(it's a class), but also
because I'm not sure how to clear a list in VB6. The list has a
variable amount of objects in it and I need to clear the whole thing
with one click. Any ideas?

Thanks

First of all, it might be a good idea to not slam a product in the group
that supports the product and has 100's of dedicated users trying to answer
newbie questions.

Secondly, place code in the click event to do the work. Third in the list
would be to select the listbox on your form and hit F1 to see all available
methods/properties and events. The list of Methods is the one you'll want.

Fourth, Ask the teacher. That's why he gets paid the big bucks.

Somewhere in my garage I have a rolled up poster depicting a One Dollar bill.
It's more than two feet across, yet not negotiable for much of anything at all.

I would suggest that you feel like an idiot because you are an idiot.

Try this with a list box and a command button.

Option Explicit
Dim i As Integer

Private Sub Command1_Click()
For i = List1.ListCount - 1 To 0 Step -1
List1.RemoveItem i
Next i
End Sub

Private Sub Form_Load()
For i = 1 To 20
List1.AddItem i
Next i
End Sub

Alright thanks I'll try that. I didn't slam VB I slammed VB6. VB.Net
is actually a very nice user system.

How can you possibly "slam" VB6 when you obviously know bugger all about it!
You've even just foolishly agreed to try some "loop through the List using
RemoveItem" code when you could simply do List1.Clear! How can you possibly
know whether VB6 is any good or not if you don't even know how to use it!
