I hope I’m missing something but how can I tell the number of selected items in a WebListBox without having to cycle through the entire list? On a standard ListBox I can us the SelCount property but that doesn’t seem to exist in the web version.

You do have to cycle through and count the selected(). Nothing prevents you for throwing that into a selcount method, though 🙂

Here is one I wrote ages ago for both desktop and web apps. The desktop side is redundant!

[code]Protected Function getListBoxSelectedCountWAD(myListBox As Object) as Integer  
'returns the total number of rows that are selected in the provided ListBox  
Dim selectedRows As Integer 'used by Desktop/Web

if myListBox = nil then Return 0

#if TargetDesktop then  
Dim tempListBox As ListBox  
if myListBox IsA Listbox then tempListBox = ListBox(myListBox)

```
if tempListBox.ListIndex < 0 then Return 0

for tempInt As Integer = 0 to tempListBox.ListCount - 1
  if tempListBox.Selected(tempInt) then selectedRows = selectedRows + 1
next

Return selectedRows

```

#elseif TargetWeb then  
Dim tempWebListBox As WebListBox

```
if myListBox IsA WebListBox then tempWebListBox = WebListBox(myListBox)

if tempWebListBox.ListIndex < 0 then Return 0

for tempInt As Integer = 0 to tempWebListBox.RowCount - 1
  if tempWebListBox.Selected(tempInt) then selectedRows = selectedRows + 1
next

Return selectedRows

```

#endif

End Function[/code]
