Code:

Private Sub btnOK_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnOK.Click


        'MessageBox.Show(txtPerson.Text.ToString)
        'this messagebox works when I run it


        'please can you help me to show text in listbox?
        
       lstDisplay.Show.txtPerson.Text.ToString()
        'the error Expression does not produce a value


    End Sub
End Class

can you be a little more clear as to what you are trying to do? are you trying to add the text of a text box to a listview? or highlight a listview item based on text in a textbox?

I am trying to show the value in textbox in listbox

How about something like this?

ListView1.Items.Add(TextBox1.Text)

I have tried that and got 2 errors

Error 1 Property access must assign to the property or use its value.
Error 2 Name 'Items' is not declared.

It works fine for me I just tested it?

Is lstDisplay a ListView object or is it a Form? because it looks almost as if it's a Form?

if that's the case then you need

lstDisplay.Show()
lstDisplay.ListView1.Items.Add(txtPerson.Text)

It Was me I had it wrong like this

lstDisplay(Items.add(txtPerson.Text))

When it should have been like this

lstDisplay.Items.Add(txtPerson.Text)

Thank you so much for your help just beginning it should get better
