ID: Q119416
The information in this article applies to:
A list box will not display the array if the first element of the array contains a null string.
For example, the following macro will display an empty list box:
Sub Main
Dim MyArray$(3)
For x = 0 to 3
MyArray$(x) = str$(x)
next x
' Set the first element to a null string
MyArray$(0) = ""
Begin Dialog UserDialog 320, 180, "Microsoft Word"
OKButton 6, 8, 65, 20
ListBox 6, 39, 167, 123, MyArray$(), .ListBox1
End Dialog
Dim MyDialog as UserDialog
Dialog MyDialog
End Sub
Change the first element to contain one of the items from the array.
