count( )
Returns the number of prompts in a listbox, or the number of items in a tree.
Syntax
<oRef>.count( )
<oRef>
An object reference to the listbox or tree whose items to count.
Property of
ListBox, TreeView
Description
Use a listbox’s count( ) method when you can't anticipate the number of prompts a listbox might have at runtime. For example, when you specify "FILE *.*" for the dataSource property, the number of prompts depends on the number of files in the current directory.
When using an array as the dataSource for a listbox, you can check the array’s size property to get the number of items.
The tree view’s count( ) method returns the total number of items in the entire tree, even if they are not displayed or hidden in a collapsed subtree. Use the visibleCount( ) method to count the items that are visible in the tree view.
