Catia Listbox items - vba

Question

I have this task where i need to find some type of hybridshapes and collect them in a listbox
i have done that part, but i need to create it in such a way that when user selects a item from the list box respective hybridshape or object should get selected in catia
here is the image
here is the code
Option Explicit
Dim ODoc As Document
Dim opartdoc As PartDocument
Dim oPart As Part
Dim ohybs As HybridBodies
Dim ohyb As HybridBody
Dim ohybshps As HybridShapes
Dim ohybshp As HybridShape
Dim i As Integer
Dim j As Integer
Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()
Set ODoc = CATIA.ActiveDocument
Set opartdoc = CATIA.ActiveDocument
Set oPart = opartdoc.Part
End Sub
Private Sub ListBtn_Click()
Set ohybs = oPart.HybridBodies
Set ohyb = ohybs.Item("Shapes")
Set ohybshps = ohyb.HybridShapes
For i = 1 To ohybshps.Count
Set ohybshp = ohybshps.Item(i)
ShapeBox.AddItem ohybshp.Name
ShapeBox.Font.Bold = True
ShapeBox.Font.Size = 25
Next
End Sub
Private Sub SelectBtn_Click()
End Sub
i dont know much about listbox handling
how do i create link between items in listbox and objects in catia
thanks

Hi you could add this to your code and try it. Beware your solution is pretty fragile one. You should consider more robust checks for objects validation
The trick lies in ShapeBox.Value in Shapebox click event. The rest is just catia stuff. But this solution is not foolproof because if you have more shapes with same names it might not select the right one. I would prefer creating a collection where you store real object from sets and the passing these objects to selection
Private Sub ShapeBox_Click()
Call opartdoc.Selection.Clear
Call opartdoc.Selection.Add(opartdoc.Part.FindObjectByName(ShapeBox.Value))
End Sub
