SelectListBox equivalent in DDT?

[Terry Zivney]

In a PBDK program I wrote, I used SelectListBox to
select a string and scroll it into view:

SelectListBox hListBox,index

Is there an analog to this in PBDLL6.0's DDT?

take a look at dave navarro's listbox encapsulation routines at http://www.powerbasic.com/support/pb...ad.php?t=22556

they are very good to use and also includes this one for %lb_selectstring,
which i guess is what you are looking for.

<font face="courier new, courier" size="3"><pre>
'------------------------------------------------------------------------------
' title: lbselectstring
' desc: select an item in a listbox by its text (or partial text).
' syntax: retval = lbselectstring(hlistbox, startposition, text$)
'remarks: the return value is the index of the selected item if the search was
' successful. the return value is %lb_err if the search was
' unsuccessful and the current selection is not changed.
'
function lbselectstring(byval hlistbox as long, byval start as long, _
byval text as string) as long
function = sendmessage(hlistbox, %lb_selectstring, start, strptr(text))
end function
