How can I multiply items in a listbox?

[se7en.hu]

Hey guys how can I multiply say the Quantity of 3 by a Price of 50 to get a sub total of 150 for example like below?

How can this be done?

Was is your total showing 120, it should be showing the total of the sub total column when you get it to multiply.

Where are you getting the prices from? To create a sub total when the add button is clicked you just need to set something up like:

Dim subTotal as Decimal = Integer.Parse(quantityTextBox.Text) * <where ever the price values is defined>
subTotalListBox.Items.Add(subTotal)

Otherwise you could pull items back off the listboxes but that seems like a bad way of doing it

Dim subTotal as Decimal = Integer.Parse(quantityListBox.Items.Item(quantityListBox.Items.Count - 1).ToString()) * Decimal.Parse(PriceListBox.Items.Item(priceListBox.Items.Count - 1).ToString())
subTotalListBox.Items.Add(subTotal)

If you want the values to be entered as currency instead of just numbers you can use the ToString method when you add the decimal to your subtotals listbox

subTotalListBox.Items.Add(subTotal.ToString("c2

And parse will throw an exception when it fails so if you're expected to handle bad user input you will have to catch the exception or use tryparse instead

yea i know it should be doing that but i cant figure out how to get the sub total so im using the price until i get it working. i guess i should have shown my code.

In "Sub btnAddItem_Click" you have:

		lstPrice.Items.Add(g_ItemPrices(iFoundPos))
		lstQty.Items.Add(txtQty.Text)

just multiply "g_ItemPrices(iFoundPos)" and txtQty.Text using the "Parse" methood that slickice11 posted and add it to the subTotal list.
