I have a drop down box populate a list box. (change: ListBox1.addItem(xfa.event.newText)) But I can add more then one of the same selection so how do I remove them from the ListBox. Upon click? somehow? I don't konw the lingo.

There is a deleteItem method for this.

You probably have your code on the change event .....move it to the exit event.

I see the delteItem but I get an error wherever i put it. Am i using the wrong code: ListBox1.deleteItem

It requires an index of the item that you want to delete

How does the index be what is selected or clicked on?

There is a selectedIndex property that will give you back the index of the 1st item that is selected.

Thanks this seems to work. I put a dummy "remove" button next to it so people think to highlight and then click off.
