Hello Folks,

I would like to have a fancy listbox where all the logic is external and the listbox is used merely for choice and display -  such as in the pictest.jpg. Does anybody have an idea?

Hi Raiko,

   How do you want the input to affect the listbox?

Will it change the choices offered or the calculation internal to generate the RESULT output?

Do you really want something that is recursive, I think that it should be possible in one form or another, but you will need to define an end-stop condition, otherwise you will generate an infinite loop

Regards

Andy

Hi Andy,

I'd like to choose an item in the list box so that the output variable "out" is given. The input should take the output variable "out" and feed it through an algorithm. The result shall be fed into the listbox and given out via the second output variable "Result" which can be used by other functions.

In this fashion I could use a very basic listbox and use it for display and choice only. From my point of view the option to use a listbox with external algorithm, without the need for an extra control, would be brilliant. it is much more versatile for reuse and VB controls tend to freeze during lenghty programming anyway.
