This item was deprecated in version 2019r2. Please use `DesktopListBox.SelectedRowIndex` as a replacement.

## Description The selected item number. The index is zero-based. ## Notes If no item is selected, ListIndex returns -1. If the ListBox is in multiple-row selection mode, then the number of the lowest selected row is returned. For example, if rows 1, 3, and 4 are selected, ListIndex returns 1. You can put the ListBox into multiple-row selection mode by changing the `RowSelectionType` property. ## Sample code The following code in the `Change` event handler displays the text in the first column of the selected row: ``` xojo If Me.ListIndex >= 0 Then MsgBox(Me.Cell(Me.ListIndex, 0)) End If ``` ## Compatibility All projects types on all supported operating systems.
