Listbox manual ADD ??

[feurich]

Is there a way of adding items to a listbox manually.
The only wat I know is by opening a dialogbox and typing the value in, then transfering the value to the listBox1.Items.Add(txtBox.text);

I want is to be able to type in the value directly in to the ListBox Item area.

I think this gives less interface action and makes it more relaxed to work with. I don't like it when to much dialogs have to be opend to get to or insert data into forms.

Why not just put the textbox to add the items to the listbox on the same form as the listbox?

You could try using the ListView control...

Try a combobox with the dropdownstyle to simple. . It looks just like a regular listbox, but it has a textbox area on the top where you can directly type in a new value.

I've never tried it myself so I dont know what happens when entering values that do/dont exist in the list yet .

You have to manually add them if they don't exist, but it's only one line of code.

Combobox !!

Hi guys,

The ComboBox, for me, seems the best.
Thanks for the help.
