SELECTIONINDEX

Description

Returns the index number of the selected string in a Listbox or Combobox list.

Syntax

print #handle.ext, "selectionindex? index"

Hints

Index Selection. The index numbers begin with "1" in a Listbox or Combobox control. Remember, index numbers might not match array numbers (an array can have an index "0" for instance), especially if array items have been deleted and the list has been reloaded.
