ListIndex Property

Microsoft Office Visual Basic

Returns or sets the index number of the selected item in the list portion of the command bar combo box control. If nothing is selected in the list, this property returns zero. Read/write Long.

Note  This property fails when applied to controls other than list controls.

Remarks

Setting the ListIndex property causes the specified control to select the given item and execute the appropriate action in the application.

Example

This example uses the ListIndex property to determine the correct subroutine to run, based on the selection in the combo box on the command bar named “My Custom Bar.” Because the procedure uses ListIndex, the text in the combo box can be anything.

Sub processSelection()
Dim userChoice As Long
userChoice = CommandBars("My Custom Bar").Controls(1).ListIndex
    Select Case userChoice
        Case 1
            chartcourse
        Case 2
            displaygraph
        Case Else
            MsgBox ("Invalid choice. Please choose again.")
    End Select
End Sub
