i have a list box and a button. i would like when the button is clicked the selected item in the list box is deleted. any ideas?

try this on your button click event:

While myListBox.SelectedItems.Count > 0
	myListBox.Items.Remove(myListBox.SelectedItems(0))
End While

yes you can do it in this way

Try
            ListBox1.Items.Remove(ListBox1.SelectedItem)
        Catch ex As Exception
            MsgBox(Err.Description)
        End Try

Hope this will Solve your prob .

Regards

Try this....

Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
        If Me.ListBox1.SelectedIndex > -1 Then
            Me.ListBox1.Items.RemoveAt(Me.ListBox1.SelectedIndex)
        End If
    End Sub

See this following code :

For i As Integer = 0 To ListBox1.SelectedIndices.Count - 1
   ListBox1.Items.RemoveAt(ListBox1.SelectedIndex)
Next

Or you use this too :

Do While (ListBox1.SelectedItems.Count > 0)
   ListBox1.Items.Remove(ListBox1.SelectedItem)
Loop
commented: No Need of loop.... -1

thanks for the help :)
