Thank you for all of the suggestions.
This is indeed my own xml listbox dialog and I can get the button to work but
not the listbox change to register where I can do something when it changes.
The list works fine and displays 12 spelling words.
Here is the function:
Function DialogEventHandler3(fObj, fEvent, fId, fControl)
DialogEventHandler3 = False
Dim Result : Result = ""
fObj.Control("lst").Width = 200
If fEvent = dialogCreated Then
BuildList fObj, Result
End If
DialogEventHandler3 = False
Select Case fId
Case fId = "lst"
If fEvent = listboxSelectionChange Then
If fObj("lst").FocusedIndex <> Temp Then
Temp = fObj.Control("lst").FocusedIndex
Result = fObj.Control("lst").Text
Speak Result
Speak Temp
Speak "this is a test."
Result = ""
Exit Function
End If
End If
Case "button_MainMenu"
If fEvent = buttonClicked Then
Speak ""
Sleep 200
Speak "Returning to Main Menu"
Sleep 200
fObj.Control("lst").Clear
fObj.Close
DialogEventHandler3 = True
Exit Function
End If
Case Else
If fEvent = dialogCreated Then
DialogEventHandler3 = True
Exit Function
End If
End Select
End Function
I must be missing something here. Please let me know what I am missing here.
thanks

Hi Jeff,
I think you’re asking for a way to know using an event, as to when a listbox
selected item is changed (do I have that right)? If so, and if this is your
own xml dialog (and not a dialog belonging to some other program, then you can
use a predefined xml event type for listbox selection changes in the dialog
event handler, like so below:
Function myDialogEvent(dlg, dlgEvent, id, ctrl)
Select case id
Case id = “myListBox”
‘ this is my listbox control
If dlgEvent = listboxSelectionChange Then
‘ and now I see the selected item of the listbox has just changed
If you are trying to find out when a listbox changes, and the listbox is not in
an xml dialog of yours, but in some program you’re writing an app for; then you
can use an MSAA event to notify you when the listbox selection changes
(assuming this program is generating MSAA events, not always guaranteed). Let
me know if you need an MSAA example and I’ll put one together for you.
Hth,
Chip

How can you find out when a focused listitem changes in a dialog?
I am trying to use select case and it works fine when a button is pressed, but
I want to find out when the user presses the up or down arrow in the list
itself.
thanks
