Moving to position of multi select listbox



.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty height:90px;width:728px;box-sizing:border-box;

I have a multi select listbox, which I would like to make searchable. If the searched for value is found in the listbox, I'd like to scroll to that position, but not select it. Is this possible? The code I have so far for searching is :-



With lstComm
For i = 0 To .ListCount - 1
If .Column(6, i) = txtSearch.Value Then

End If
Next i
End With


...but I'm not sure how to complete the scroll.

    Access doesn't offer a built-in way to scroll list boxes. I can write up a WinAPI answer if you're interested, but it will be rather complicated since Access doesn't offer a built-in way to get the hWnd for a form control.

This should work fine:



Dim index As Long
With lstComm
Dim match As Boolean
For index = 0 To .ListCount - 1
If .Column(1, index) = txtSearch.Value Then
match = True
Exit For
End If
Next

If Not match Then Exit Sub

Dim isSelected As Boolean
isSelected = .Selected(index)

.Selected(index) = True
.Selected(index) = isSelected
End With


It retrieves the searched item of the listbox.



If no item has been found it exists.



Otherwise it stores the current selection state of that item, selects it to position the listbox, and restores the stored state of the item.

  • Selecting and unselecting an item in a listbox does just that, nothing else. It doesn't scroll to the item being selected (for me on Access 2016 using a multi-select list box, at least)

    Well, the only thing I can say is that this is undocumented behavior and just doesn't work for me (Build 9126). Your mileage may vary, apparently. If you're going to deploy it, I'd do extensive testing beforehand.
