SUMMARYThis article explains how to retrieve selected items from a ListBox control that allows you to select multiple values. MORE INFORMATIONMicrosoft provides programming examples for illustration only, without warranty
either expressed or implied, including, but not limited to, the implied warranties of
merchantability and/or fitness for a particular purpose. This article assumes that you
are familiar with the programming language being demonstrated and the tools used to
create and debug procedures. Microsoft support professionals can help explain the functionality
of a particular procedure, but they will not modify these examples to provide added
functionality or construct procedures to meet your specific needs. If you have limited
programming experience, you may want to contact a Microsoft Certified Solution Provider
or the Microsoft fee-based consulting line at (800) 936-5200. For more information about

http://www.microsoft.com/mcsp/For more information about the support options available from Microsoft, please see the following page on the World Wide Web: http://www.microsoft.com/support/supportnet/overview/overview.asp In a UserForm, when you set the MultiSelect property to "1 - fmMultiSelectMulti" (without the quotation marks) for a ListBox control, you can choose any number of items from a list. For example, if a list contains Alpha, Bravo, and Charlie, you can select any, none, or all of the items. To determine which items are selected, use the Selected property of the list box. The Selected property of a list box is an array of values in which each value is either True (if the item is selected) or False (if the item is not selected). For example, if the list contains 1, 2, 3, and 4, and 2 and 3 are selected, the Selected property is the following array:
This is true because the first item (1) is not selected, the second and third items (2 and 3) are selected, and the fourth item (4) is not selected. Sample Visual Basic ProcedureThe following code uses two methods for using the selected data from the list box. The first method uses one selected item at a time, and the second method builds a list of all the selected items. These steps for creating a UserForm in the Visual Basic Editor assume that the user of the article has an understanding of Visual Basic for Applications, Microsoft Word, and Microsoft Forms design and tools.
