It doesn't look like it, no.

Use a listview instead - that's got a .Clear method...

LOL... Try 'Me.ListView1.Items.Clear()'.

The OP said "completely empty".. I was going with the ListView1.Clear(),
which as you probably know clears the columns/headers as well as the items.

Well, the listbox control doesn't support column headers, so you do not need
to clear them.

Hi Cj,

If you add items into ListBox by code, you could use the following
statement to completely empty a Listbox. The following is a sample code.

listBox1.Items.Clear();

If you set the DataSource property of the ListBox to a data source, you
could set the ListBox's DataSource property null to empty the ListBox.
Below is a sample code.

listBox1.DataSource = null;

Hope this helps.

If you have anything unclear, please feel free to let me know.


Sincerely,
Linda Liu

I'm with you, Ghost! It takes too much effort to look something up -
sometimes it even takes understanding what to look for. So much easier
to just ask.

Cj,

In addition to Oenone

In a binded listbox, set the datasource (or binding) to nothing

I hope this helps,

Cor

Linda,

Almost correct, I had not seen your answer while I was answering the
followup message.

However please in VB code in this newsgroup. "null" can be confusing for VB
developers.

Therefore
listBox1.Items.Clear()
and
listBox1.DataSource = Nothing

What means

Cor

 

[cj]

..items.clear

ok, I'd thought it was .clear but only saw clearselected. I haven't
used listbox in years.

Thanks

listview is new to me--don't know anything about it.

 

[cj]

Thanks Linda and Cor, I just needed .items.clear but I'll try to keep
the datasource=nothing in mind.

Really? If you use Windows Explorer, then you use it probably every
day!
