Hi there.

Could you put your code here so we can help you?

If you're able to select one item in listbox, this will be the same steps to select the second. The only need is to configure your Listbox to accept multiple items select.

This is done in both design and running mode

I hope this help but put your code to be analized.

Hi Deepa,

if you are using database all that can be filtered by using SQL queries and can also be updated to change group.

I have posted my code below.

Dim i, j As Integer
For i = 0 To Lstbx_Group.Ite ms.Count - 1
For j = 0 To DataSet1.Tables (1).Rows.Count - 1
If DataSet1.Tables (1).Rows(0).Ite m(j).ToString = Lstbx_Group.Ite ms(i).Value Then
Lstbx_Group.Ite ms(i).Select()
End If
Next
Next


I am getting exceptions at line 4 and line 5 of this code

exception at line 4:
An unhandled exception of type 'System.Missing MemberException ' occurred in Microsoft.Visua lBasic.dll
Additional information: Public member 'Value' on type 'DataRowView' not found.

exception at line 5:
An unhandled exception of type 'System.Missing MemberException ' occurred in Microsoft.Visua lBasic.dll
Additional information: Public member 'Select' on type 'DataRowView' not found.

When I select a given employee, say 'Nancy' from a combobox I use a query to retrive all the designations for Nancy into a DataSet (DataSet1). Lstbx_Group is the list box which contains all the designations. In that list I want the designations of the employee 'Nancy' to be selected. Please could you help me achive this. Thanks in advance.

Iff the combobox and both listboxes (designation & Group) have same number of entries, in the click event of combobox & both list boxes you must write a code like this:
Suppose an item in combobox is selected.
Check its ItemNo.
select (automatically highlight) same ItemNo in both listboxes.
in this way in all the three boxes corresponding items get selected.

To change / modify an item you may place three command buttons one each for three boxes. Clicking first it will check itemno of selected item in combobox and ask for a new name. Then replace the new item with old one (keeping ItemNo same) so that new item / changed item will be at replaced place.

I think I am clear.
