Remove multiple items from a Listbox

[BioHazard]

As straightforward as this task might seem, I actually had a devil of a time trying to figure it out. Have in the past, been coding this one via a simple table iteration, not realizing that it was in fact deleting the wrong items from the Listbox. Could not for the life of me, work out why?

And then finally realized, it just needed a do/while count-loop instead (Example attached).
D'oh! Don't ya just love missing the obvious?

Finding the simple and the obvious solution is more complicated sometimes than the complicated solution , i think i had just complicated my sentence.

Good you solved it as usual , keep forward

Additionally, you could also use a for loop, which is cleaner in my honest opinion

local tSelected = ListBox.GetSelected("ListBox1"); -- gets selected indexes from the ListBox, and stores in table
if tSelected then -- ensures something is selected
    -- from the # of items in tSelected to 1, step -1 do
    for i = #tSelected, 1, -1 do 
        ListBox.DeleteItem("ListBox1", tSelected[i]);
    end 
end

Hello Bio and IP.. thanks for all your ideas...

for i = #tSelected, 1, -1 do

I so like it when you drop by, IP.

I still linger these forums every single day, I can't seem to stay away!

i am not here every day but I come back at lest once a week, the place we used to have might be gone but I know I enjoyed it and maybe one day these new little devs will bring it back.

...the place we used to have might be gone but I know I enjoyed it ...

Hey, Rexxy - you're back! Was starting to worry we'd lost you over to the dark side. I agree, circa 2009-2011 was a fun time when this board was always lit up with both great chatter and great code.

And now, so many have gone MIA: Rizla, reteset, Sakuya, Centauri Soldier, T3STY, Worm - the list goes on. And is passed time a rescue mission was mounted for our missing brothers - is not quite the same without them!

But after 'arising from the dead' so to speak, I have to say, I'm very happy to see both you and IP are still here after all these years. Here's to the both of ya', my brothers!

I guess this is a nostalgic place for me haha!

This is a nostalgic place for myself, I have moved on slowly to FiveM and other Lua or php project, and the Dark Side is not far of the truth I have been researching much more about private and off the record and de-centralised systems, tor being one of they ways to help do this, sadly my research is slow and I am dumb as two thick planks but hey I try lol

I still work in AMS almost every day tho, I love tweaking my old tools with new idea I want to make a tool what would connect via tor but still no luck, the older two tools like wget no longer work or using versions of tor so unsafe it's not fun, and there is NO way I would ever include the full tor bundle myself lol

I am a tinker these days.

[John_Klassek]

Yes, a few of us are still around... pushing boundaries, or at least trying new ideas.

[Centauri Soldier]

Oh now, we haven't gone that far . How ya'll doin? Long time no see.

[BioHazard]

OMG - it's the ghost from xmas past! Hello, Centauri Soldier - how the heck are you? It's been years! How nice to see you back here, man. Wow - what a great xmas present!

Is this just a one-time visit, popping in to say hello? Or will we get to see some more of you? Noticed amspublic.com has been offline for a while now. Has your site moved elsewhere? Or moved on altogether?

Er, sorry - you probably won't recognize me under my current avatar, eh?
So, here - this one might be more familiar to you:



Hope you decide to stick around, man. That'd be awesome! This place sure could use your contributions, again!

[webultra]

I just came to say hello! :(

[Centauri Soldier]

Hey, BioHazard! You're right, the old avatar kicked-started my memory right away. Yeah, I'll be on and off but I wanted to come back and let everyone know that the site is back up. There's a post for it. I'll get my signature updated as soon as I resolve the bug in the forum profile settings.

As far as contributions, I have a few new plugins in the works and am going to be revamping and optimizing the old ones. I've also got some 7.0 plugins that are lingering in my archive that need resurrected; they'll have their turn.
