AddItem Method

AddItem Method

See Also         Example         Applies To        

For a single-column ListBox or ComboBox, the AddItem method adds an item to the list. For a multicolumn ListBox or ComboBox, this method adds a row to the list.

Syntax

Variant = object.AddItem( [ item [, varIndex]])

The AddItem method syntax has these parts:

Part Description
object Required. A valid object.
Item Optional. Specifies the item or row to add. The number of the first item or row is 0; the number of the second item or row is 1, and so on.
varIndex Optional. Integer specifying the position within the object where the new item or row is placed.

Remarks

If you supply a valid value for varIndex, the AddItem method places the item or row at that position within the list. If you omit varIndex, the method adds the item or row at the end of the list.

The value of varIndex must not be greater than the value of the ListCount property.

For a multicolumn ListBox or ComboBox, AddItem inserts an entire row, that is, it inserts an item for each column of the control. To assign values to an item beyond the first column, use the List or Column property and specify the row and column of the item.

If the control is bound to data, the AddItem method fails.

Note   You can add more than one row at a time to a ComboBox or ListBox by using List.
