I am making a website in asp.net and I have 2 list boxes:
lbxPlayer1 and lbxPlayer2
lbxPlayer1.Items.Add("bob");
lbxPlayer1.Items.Add("jack");
lbxPlayer1.Items.Add("sam");
lbxPlayer2.Items.Add("fred");
lbxPlayer2.Items.Add("brian");
lbxPlayer2.Items.Add("dave");
they have both been populated with the same amount of values and i would like it so that when one of the lists is clicked the other list will select the same index.
how do i do this? i assume the code would be in the lbxPlayer1_SelectedIndexChanged event?
so when i click on "jack" i want "Brian" to also be selected.
Use the SelectedIndex
property:
int index = lbxPlayer1.SelectedIndex;
if(lbxPlayer2.Items.Count > index)
lbxPlayer2.SelectedIndex = index;
If SelectionMode
is Multiple
:
for (int i = 0; i < lbxPlayer2.Items.Count; i++)
{
if(i >= lbxPlayer1.Items.Count)
lbxPlayer2.Items[i].Selected = false;
else
lbxPlayer2.Items[i].Selected = lbxPlayer1.Items[i].Selected;
}
Update
well it tried it and nothing happened also tried this and nothing
happens either lbxPlayer2.SelectedIndex = lbxPlayer1.SelectedIndex;
.
The dayabinding is getting done in the pageload event (which i cannot change), which i > believe is always o
Only databind them if(!IsPostBack)
since ViewState
will retain items across postbacks. So i assume that this event is never triggered because you rebind the ListBoxes
on postbacks.
