How do I get checkboxes in a list box? I tried this in the listbox
open event me.CellType(0,0) Qe.TypeCheckBox Program runs but it opens the debugger at this line and I don't know why.

Thanks. I tried the suggestion and got the same result. The debugger
does not report an error... just pastes a ladyBird bug at the side of the code. I can't find an example in the manual and can't find one in the examples folder. Any other suggestions?

Terry, you are spot on. I had not entered anything in the list box.
Now it is working. Thankyou.

You can also use me.ColumnType(0) before you addrow(s) if you wish to set all rows in the column to be a checkbox type. You probably got an OutOfBounds error for the cell method.

Right again. It was an out of bounds exception. I finally found the
error message at the bottom of the window (as you suggested). Thanks again.

Hi Terry, Barrie
I've been interested in your listbox question/answer set over the last bit. I've been trying to set up a two column listbox that has checkboxes in col 0 and text in col 1. I've built a crude question set randomizer for a teacher friend of mine and am refining it a little. Initially I just used a letter in cell(i,0) and tracked by array. (By the checkbox I am allowing the user to pick the questions that are to stay 'unrandomized') In the listbox open I have: dim i as integer for i l to 99 me.AddRow "" me.CellType(i,0) check(i) oalse me.cell(i,1) oDummy Text" next "Dummy Text" is in place of array elements holding questions that a method elsewhere randomizes. check() is an array of boolean to track if the cell(i,0) has been checked (true / false). Obviously filled with initial false. I did this because I can't find how to access the true/false property of the checkbox when in a cell. It would be nice to just check the condition of the checkbox instead of dragging all these arrays around. thanks Derek rb206r2 XP Barrie Jones <<email address removed>> wrote: Right again.

Thanks to both of you. I was being stupid here. I'm moving from VB to rb and am not always using the LR properly.
I looked under events and didn't see what I needed. Under properties! Duh. CellType works for my simple little app. The CellAction firing is something i might have used if I had started differently. Sorry for wasting your time. Your discussions are always helpful. cheers D CV <<email address removed>> wrote: On May 9, 2006, at 8:13 AM, Charles Yeomans wrote: > > On May 9, 2006, at 10:24 AM, D Prowse wrote: > >> Hi Terry, Barrie >> I've been interested in your listbox question/answer set over >> the last bit.
