step 1: have list boxes with list data from table (eg : material)
step 2 : code for list1_dblclick( )
check list1.text's equalent price from table and fill it in label

In light of the stated goal, I interpret your use of "select" simply to mean that you want access to each item in the listbox and the ability get each one in to a variable, rather than user selection of one or more items.

Private Sub Button2_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button2.Click
        Dim Price As Double
        Dim Total As Double = 0

        For Each S As String In ListBox1.Items
            Price = CDbl(S)
            Total += Price
        Next

        Label1.Text = Total.ToString("C")
    End Sub

HTH

I think we need to know what version of VB is being used. I use VB6, so that code definitely wouldn't work for me.
