Question

I\'m trying to \'reset\' a listbox in Excel VBA when a form closes. Currently when I use the userform1.hide function the form disappears but when I open it up again using th

Answer 1

You could use

Private Sub clearListBox()
 'Clears the listbox
    Do Until ListBox1.ListCount = 0
        Me!ListBox1.RemoveItem(0)
    Loop
End Sub

Answer 2

Hide and show has no effect. If you want to use "brute force", use unload then load, but it will reset everything (not just the radio buttons) and will be memory consuming (well, if your form doesn't contain thousands of components and your computer is recent etc etc it will be fine though)

another way to do what you want is simply to run through all radio buttons and uncheck them all

Answer 3

If you want to clear ONLY the selection (as you are using hide, not unload) then use:

me.listbox1.value = ""

If it is a multiselect listbox, you need to use:

Me.listbox1.MultiSelect = fmMultiSelectSingle
Me.listbox1.Value = ""
Me.listbox1.MultiSelect = fmMultiSelectMulti

this will clear the selection by setting it to single selection only and then clearing the selection, then setting the functionality to multi select again.

If you want to clear the entire list box (the options that you select) use:

Me.listbox1.clear

Answer 4

To reset the apparent item selected in the listbox, try:

ListBox1.ListIndex = -1
ListBox2.ListIndex = -1

There will be no apparent item in the listbox control after that.

Private Sub clearListBox()
    Dim iCount As Integer

    For iCount = 0 To Me!ListBox1.ListCount
        Me!ListBox1.Selected(iCount) = False

End Sub
