Thread: ListBox & LB_SETCARETINDEX / LB_SETSEL

Hi there,

I'm having a little trouble changing the selection item inside a list box.

Here is the code im currently using:

Code:

void PreviousFile()
{
	int iCurSel = SendMessage(GetDlgItem(hWnd, IDC_LIST), LB_GETCURSEL, (LPARAM)0, (WPARAM)0);
	int iTotal = GetListBoxInfo(GetDlgItem(hWnd, IDC_LIST));

	if (iCurSel = 0)
	{
		SendMessage(GetDlgItem(hWnd, IDC_LIST), LB_SETSEL, (LPARAM)1, (WPARAM)iTotal);
	}
	else
	{
		SendMessage(GetDlgItem(hWnd, IDC_LIST), LB_SETSEL, (LPARAM)1, (WPARAM)(iCurSel - 1));
	}
	PlayFile();
}

I've also tried numerous different 'LB' types to no avail.

Im using an extended ListBox style. (NOT MFC!)

Any Ideas?

I have tried that, if you read the page it says..

Code:

Remarks

Use this message only with single-selection list boxes. You cannot use it to set or remove a selection in a multiple-selection list box.

Like i said in my first post, i'm using 'extended', which lets you select more than one at a time.

aaah.. i didn't see that one, works a treat!
Thanks for the fast help mate!
