good morning everybody
i'm facing a little bit problem

in the declaration section i declared a listbox like this

Dim lst As ListBox

and on the click event of a button i performed this action

Private Sub btn_Click()
lst.AddItem "Item-1"
lst.AddItem "Item-2"
End Sub

but when i click on the button, an unexpected error occurs :-(

iz there any one who can solve my problem (but plz keep in mind, i dont want to place ListBox on the form even its Visible property is set to False)

Hi,
what is the error message u get

you cannot "declare" a list box (as well as any other controls)
you must add it at design time, or add it at run time using Controls.Add

goog morning

yaar, the error message is some thing like "WITH OBJECT VARIABLE NOT SET..."

@marcostraf
friend, if we can't declare any control (according 2 u), then why it is allowed in VB, i mean, when i type Dim lst As ... just after typing the word "As", all the datatypes are listed including all controls ... if declaring controls is not allowed then why all the controls are displayed in the list???

i hope i'll get a good reply

is not that you cannot "declare" controls (I put the word in quotes in my previous msg), but then you have to initialize the variable.

Dim lst as ListBox

is a perfectly legittimate statement, but unless you initialize the variable lst, you get a "object variable not set" error. To initialize it, or you have to assign to it a already created listBox control

set lst = myList

or you can set to it a controls that you are adding at run time like

set lst = me.Controls.Add(....

or just use the name of a ListBox already created, and skip the declaration of lst

Hope this time I was more clear!
