Hi All

I can populate a list box from a text file, but I am struggling to read an item from the list box into a variable.

var seq=OpenFile(SYSTEM_PUBLICATION_DIR + "\\fam.txt")
seq.ReadField(false)

mylistbox.SetListBoxSelection(0)
var gotList=mylistbox.GetSelection()
Debug.trace("vargotList = " + vargotList + "/n")

I get [object] returned.

I have searched the forums, but have not found a solution.

Any help would be gratefully received.

Hey, welcome to the Opus forum.

The simplest thing I can think of is this. Edit the Properties of your Listbox. Go to the Tab for 'Listbox'. You should see two options there to associate an Opus Page or Pub variable to your Listbox INDEX, and the SELECTION. Make that association.

Then when you do something likethe variable associated with SELECTION will have the value of the text contents of that line of the Listbox.
