regardless of how you attack the list, dealing with the list is just like 
dealing with an array (that starts at 0 instead of 1).. the help makes the 
options pretty simple

Hi Everyone!

Is there another way to find an item in a listbox, then highlight
(select) than item, other than the way I'm doing it below:

var
    varid smallInt
    varName string
    loFound logical
endvar

loFound=False
MyList.MyList_List.action(MoveBeginLine)  ;start at the top

varid=0

While loFound=False
    varid=varid+1
    MyList_List.list.selection=varid  ;get the number of the current item
    varName=MyList_List.list.value    ;put list name in the var

    if varListName="MySearchValue" then  ;is this what I'm looking for?
       MyList_List.list.selection=varid
       loFound=True
    else
       loop
    endif
endWhile

Thanks,
Kevin
