RadListBox values

[R]

Hi. I need to store two values in each of the items of the radlistbox. I'm trying this:

    Class MyItem
        Inherits Telerik.WinControls.RadItem
        Public MyShowText As String
        Public MyStrng As String
        Sub New(ByVal ShowText As String, ByVal Strng As String)
            MyBase.New()
            MyShowText = ShowText
            MyStrng = Strng
            Me.Text = MyShowText
        End Sub
    End Class

    ListBox1.Items.Add(New MyItem(Path.GetFileName(file_name), file_name))

 But the listbox is always empty.

Can you help me?

Thanks

Hello R,

Thank you for writing.

To display both text values in a listbox item, you could use the Text and Description properties of RadListBoxItem. I'm not sure what exactly is the case, but if the values are not textual, you may also create your own descendant of RadListBoxItem which adds additional properties to suit your needs. Alternatively, you can use the Tag property to store any value associated with a particular item.

Nevertheless, although the RadListBox.Items collection can accept instances of RadItem, direct instantiation of this class is not enough to show anything in the RadListBox. This is due to the architecture of our controls, and the role of the RadItem as an abstract class (please read more about this in our documentation: http://www.telerik.com/help/winforms/architecture_elementsoverview.html ).

If you have any additional questions, please don't hesitate to write.

Best wishes,
