how to populate specific cells from a multi column list box - excel vba - vba

Question

I have a list box (lbxStN) with 3 columns (0-fmMultiSelectSingle).
I would like to make a selection (only one) in this list, and have the data from each column of the list shown in a specific cell in a specific sheet (sheet: DeN). First column from the list F19, second column C22 and third column H22. After button (cmdBtnSelect2) is clicked.
Data for the list box is stored in a different sheet in the same workbook.
Private Sub cmdBtnSelect2_Click()
Dim i As Long
Dim myVar4 As String
Dim myVar5 As String
Dim myVar6 As String
For i = 0 To lbxStN.ListCount - 1
If lbxStN.Selected(i) = True Then
lbxStN.List(i, 0).Value = myVar4
lbxStN.List(i, 1).Value = myVar5
lbxStN.List(i, 2).Value = myVar6
End If
Next
ThisWorkbook.Sheets("DeN").Range("F19") = myVar4
ThisWorkbook.Sheets("DeN").Range("C22") = myVar5
ThisWorkbook.Sheets("DeN").Range("H22") = myVar6
End Sub
If I run the code, I get a '424' Object required error.
Which means I'm missing something basic.?

For what you intend to do, there is no need to create new variables. The value from the selected item can be assigned directly to the cells. As follows
Private Sub cmdBtnSelect2_Click()
Dim i as Integer
For i = 0 To lbxStN.ListCount - 1
If lbxStN.Selected(i) Then
ThisWorkbook.Sheets("DeN").Range("F19") = lbxStN.List(i, 0)
ThisWorkbook.Sheets("DeN").Range("C22") = lbxStN.List(i, 1)
ThisWorkbook.Sheets("DeN").Range("H22") = lbxStN.List(i, 2)
Exit For
End If
Next i
End Sub
The previous subroutine iterates for each iteam in the list, and checks if the item is selected. If the item is selected, then it assigns each column to each cell. Exit For will exit the iteration, because there is no need to continue looking for more selected items.
I tested the code with the following subroutine to add items to the list. I think it would be a good idea to compare it with yours in case you have tried to do a complex assignment.
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
lbxStN.Clear
lbxStN.AddItem "a"
lbxStN.List(lbxStN.ListCount - 1, 1) = "a2"
lbxStN.List(lbxStN.ListCount - 1, 2) = "a3"
lbxStN.AddItem "b"
lbxStN.List(lbxStN.ListCount - 1, 1) = "b2"
lbxStN.List(lbxStN.ListCount - 1, 2) = "b3"
lbxStN.AddItem "c"
lbxStN.List(lbxStN.ListCount - 1, 1) = "c2"
lbxStN.List(lbxStN.ListCount - 1, 2) = "c3"
End Sub
I usually get better at coding by reading someone elses code and trying to understand it
