Is this possible with a listbox object?

[dthompson16]

I would like to create an application that on the 1st page has a list of the titles all the other pages. I would like the user to be able to click on the title of their choice and jump to that page. I have tried putting Page.Jump actions in the Item Data but I can't get it to work. Can a listbox be used for this, or do I have to just put a bunch of buttons on the 1st page with Page.Jumps to the other pages? Thanks. I searched the forum but couldn't find an answer.

Amazing how many times it has been discussed. I don't know if they go into it or not, but I think you could even use a Page or Application action to enumerate all the page names and populate your listbox automatically.

Here you go, this will work only if your pages are named something that means something to your users.



-- Build a table containing all the pages
tbPages = Application.GetPages();
-- If the table is build correctly then do the following
if tbPages do
-- traverse the table and add each item to the listbox
for index, pagename in tbPages do
ListBox.AddItem("ListBox1", pagename, "");
end
end

Thanks, Tigg. This is really helpful for someone who couldn't tell a listbox from a box of Listerine before buying AMS. There is a lot of info in the forum after all...I guess I should have searched for "listbox and page jump" instead of just "listbox". It does appear that it has been a rather frequent question. Perhaps someone who has a lot of experiences using listboxes could put a writeup in the FAQ section. Desmond has a gift for explaining clearly. Maybe he could write a "How Do I use page jumps with listboxes?" Thanks again.

I'll second that motion. For he's a jolly good Desmond.
