User Form text of selected item

How do you get the text of the currently selected item in a tcxListBox control of a User Form? I seem to be spinning my wheels and not finding the solution.

    Hi Mark



    According to this article http://support.smartbear.com/viewarticle/28763/



    The ItemIndex property specifies the index of the currently selected list box item.

    The Items property returns the TStrings which contains the list of strings displayed by the component.



    So this would get the text of the currently selected item

    Set TStringsObj = TcxListBoxObj.Items

    String = TStringsObj.Items(TcxListBoxObj.ItemIndex)

Paul, this worked:


So this would get the text of the currently selected item


Set TStringsObj = TcxListBoxObj.Items


String = TStringsObj.Items(TcxListBoxObj.ItemIndex)



I was trying to do it on one line which SHOULD look like this:


String = TcxListBoxObj.Items.Items(TcxListBoxObj.ItemIndex)




But I was entering it like this:

String = TcxListBoxObj.Items(TcxListBoxObj.ItemIndex)



Having Items.Items twice was throwing me off and seems wrong but it works.
