Select Specific ListBox Item
Posted by David Wier on 05/10/10 | Tips and Tricks
If you don't know the exact index number in the list of listbox items (listbox1.selectedindex=x), then you can find an item and select it by using the Value of the item:
ListBox1.Items.FindByValue(MyValue).Selected = true
If you don't know the Value of the item, but you know the text, you can find and select the item using the Text of the item:
ListBox1.Items.FindByText("TextYouAreLookingFor").Selected = true
