Why can't I use the Click event of a list box to hide the list?

PHP Code:

         Private Sub List1_Click()
             List1.Visible = False
         End Sub 


This doesn't hide the listbox, it just highlights the row that is clicked on.

I guess it must depend on what else is going on for that list box. I just tried that on an existing application I have, and it worked fine; the minute I clicked on an item in the list, the entire box disappeared.

My listbox loads on selecting an option from a dropdown, but once loaded, nothing else happens.

If it does some other processing, maybe put that code (list1.visible=false) at the end of the sub/function that is doing the processing....

Hope this helps.

Thanks MBN. I found my problem. I was clicking on an empty space at the bottom of the list. When I clicked on an item it worked fine.

If you need it to disappear when you click anywhere, you might want to try changing it from a click event to a gotfocus event. that way it won't matter what you click on, as long is it got clicked anywhere it will disappear.

Great idea, I don't know why I didn't think of it
Thanks again MBN.
