Hello RexKatWa,

I don't have time to fully explain how controls and their events operate to you, but I do know what I am talking about. If you shift the focus away from the ListBox, as you did when displaying the message box, it will not highlight the item in the ListBox.

It is possible to alter the behaviour of a control on a UserForm using SubClassing, but this technique is very advanced and requires extensive use of the Windows API. I am not really sure what effect you want to accomplish. However, it will most likely involve the use of other control.
