Add list object implementation not working?
Quote from mark Lonardo on September 8, 2021, 3:49 pmI am not having luck with the ListBoxAddItem object. Added items show while the app is running but don't persist after the application is closed and reopened. What am I doing wrong.
InputBox "Enter New Item" "Enter New Item" "[newitemtoaddname]"
ListBoxAddItem "ListBox3" "0" "[newitemtoaddname]"
ListBoxSort "ListBox3" "True"

The ListBox content is not stored back into the exe. It only hold in memory during runtime.
You must hold your data in a text-file or database which gets stored to disk.

They are held somewhere and load with the application. I assumed that the ListBoxAddItem would write to the same location in the application. For my own curiosity is there some hidden array they are storing the manually entered list?
However taking your advice I have solved this by saving the list to a File .
As always thanks for your help

That is right, but a different process.
When you add the items into the object, they are part of the object propertys.
That gets compiled into the app. You can see them also in the pub-source when you view it with a text editor.
But when you add items by code this happens on runtime and after the compile-process.
So a complete different process.
