read single word from listbox vb - vb.net

Question

I have an order form I created in VB.NET and I have a ListBox that is populated by order. You can double click on the order and it populates the order number in the order form. The problem I'm having is that it populates the TextBox with both the order number and the persons name. How can I use a delimiter to only pull out the order number and not the name also.
Imports Business_Objects
Public Class frmSummary
Private ctrl As Controller
Dim listID As ArrayList
Private Sub frmSummary_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
ctrl = CType(MdiParent, frmMain).ctrl
Dim list As ArrayList
list = ctrl.GetOrders
Dim order As Business_Objects.Order
For Each order In list
lstOrders.Items.Add(order.ID & "," & " " & order.Server)
Next
End Sub
Private Sub lstOrders_DoubleClick(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles lstOrders.DoubleClick
Dim result As Boolean = False
If lstOrders.Text <> "" Then
result = True
Dim frm As New OrderForm
frm.MdiParent = Me.MdiParent
frm.Show()
frm.txtOrderNo.Text = lstOrders.Text
frm.btnFetch.PerformClick()
Else
MessageBox.Show("there are no orders here to click")
End If
End Sub
Private Sub btnRefresh_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnRefresh.Click
lstOrders.Items.Clear()
ctrl = CType(MdiParent, frmMain).ctrl
Dim list As ArrayList
list = ctrl.GetOrders
Dim order As Business_Objects.Order
For Each order In list
lstOrders.Items.Add(order.ID & " " & order.Server)
Next
End Sub
End Class

Answer 1

If all of your data is being stored as a single field, or something like:
4322305 John Smith Carrots $3.00
845825 Sam White Oranges $1.25
Then you can read each record as a string, and then use split that into an array based on " " as your delimiter.
The code would look something like:
dim myArray as string() = myLongTextRecord.Split(" ")
And in that format,
textBoxName.Text = myArray[1]

Answer 2

You're almost there. You could use the split function, but another approach would be to add the Order object directly to the listbox and not text.
Private Sub frmSummary_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
ctrl = CType(MdiParent, frmMain).ctrl
Dim list As ArrayList
list = ctrl.GetOrders
Dim order As Business_Objects.Order
For Each order In list
lstOrders.Items.Add(order)
Next
End Sub
Private Sub lstOrders_DoubleClick(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles lstOrders.DoubleClick
Dim result As Boolean = False
If lstOrders.Text <> "" Then
result = True
Dim frm As New OrderForm
frm.MdiParent = Me.MdiParent
frm.Show()
frm.txtOrderNo.Text = DirectCast(lstOrders.SelectedItem, Order).ID.ToString
frm.btnFetch.PerformClick()
Else
MessageBox.Show("there are no orders here to click")
End If
End Sub
You'll need to go into the Order object and override the .ToString function so that the text in the Listbox displays whatever value you want (ie. Return ID & "," & " " & Server)
