Hi
Just as a side to the thread.
If you send an empty Array to a Sub you can fill it in the sub and use it in
the dialog.
Eg
Sub Diag
Dim MyArray() as string
Dim MyValue as String
Dim MyIndex as Integer
Call LoadArray(MyArray)
Dialog
.....
Contol ListBox
Title From Variable MyArray
Into MyIndex
....
if CommandINfo(....)
MyValue = Myarray(MyIndex)
end if
End Sub
Sub LoadArray(DiagArray() as String)
Dim i as Integer
For i = 1 to ...
Redim DiagArray(i)
daigArray(i) = ....
Load Array Here
Next
End sub
Hope This helps, it a method I use alot
Yours

Subject: MI MB: Listbox help
Hi. I'm writing an application that has a listbox control. This listbox is
populated by a semicolon-delimited string. After the user picks one of the
items, I want to capture the name of the item they select. I tried using
the
Into clause in the control, and also ReadControlValue, but they both simply
return the index position of the item in the list.
Example - My string is "USA;Canada;Mexico". If the user chooses Mexico, I
want to put the word "Mexico" into a string variable. Using the "into"
clause, I get a 3. ReadControlValue returns a 3.
I can't use an array because the string is returned from a call to a custom
function, and arrays are not valid return types. Since the number and
content of the values will change every time it's run, I can't use a Do Case
type of thing.
I'm starting to think I'll need to parse all of the values out of the
delimited string and populate an array with them (yuk). There has to be a
better way. What am I missing here?
Thanks -
