Code:
If ListBox1.Items.Contains(TextBox1.Text) = True Then process.start(TextBox1.Text)

I think this is what you are looking for.

It assumes that you have the word chrome, and other application names added in the Listbox. Now when you enter "chrome" for example, it will look in the ListBox Items and if found it would start the Process.
I believe that is what you wanted.

! then try

Code:
If Listbox1.items.contains("Chrome") then
process.start("chrome")
elseif listbox1.items.contains("Firefox") then
process.start("firefox")
elseif listbox1.items.contains("Internet Explorer") then
process.start("iexplore")
end if

see if this works... Smile

That's exactly what the line of code does. You would just have to add the names in the ListBox first.
