    ListBox property .ItemsSelected and .ItemData are missing

    Hi,

    I'm beginner at VBA. In a UserForm, I created a List Box called
    ListBox1
    with the following settings:
    MultiSelect: fmMultiSelectExtended

    The properties .ItemsSelected and .ItemData don't appear as options of the dropdown list of properties of the object
    Me.ListBox1
    . This was reported in a previous thread (excel-programming-vba-macros/1128844-no-itemsselected-property-available). However, there are many online use cases using these properties.

    I checked the following:
    • ListBox1 is a List Box: its name type displays as "ListBox" in the properties window (I even ran code to go through all controls of the workbook and Msg Box if a control's name is "ListBox"
    • According to thedocumentation (vba/api/access.listbox.itemsselected), the control's MultiSelect property is set to Extended. What's weird is that the sample code:
      Please Login or Register  to view this content.
      threw the error "User-defined type no defined" at
      As Form
    , which suggests that the documentation hasn't been updated.

    Could it be that these properties have been removed? If so, where can I find a list of all deprecated/removed properties/methods?

    Thanks

    Re: ListBox property .ItemSelected and .ItemData are missing

    Maybe I misunderstood your question but this is what I think:
    I think you're looking in the wrong place:
    It's a value of the MultiSelect property

    By "above properties" I meant .ItemSelected and .ItemData, sorry. I rectified it in my initial post

    Re: ListBox property .ItemSelected and .ItemData are missing

    The two properties you refer to are for Access not Excel.

    Re: ListBox property .ItemSelected and .ItemData are missing

    You are looking at Access documentation. I would expect a ListBox to be the same in Excel VBA as it is in Access VBA, but that may not be true. (I believe your thread title should refer to .ItemsSelected). I do not have Access so I can't check that.

    Yes, how could I use them? I have Access 2019. Is it a matter of selecting the appropriate .dll in tools > references? Sorry, I'm beginner and.. you might have to state the obvious with me.

    Why don't you just use the Excel tools as they're meant to be used?
    Not all systems have Access included so it will make your file less compatible

    Ok, so each 'tool' has their own environment. Coming from a Node.js background, when we need a prop/method we simply download the package and "require" it.

    Guess I have to create an Access DB..

    (Application runs locally, which means I don't need to consider compatibility at this stage)

    Anything you can do with ItemsSelected you can do another way in Excel. I do this all the time. What is it you want to do?
