I had similar problems like that, it you`re hell bent on used lists ( I take
it you really mean an array of strings? as in dim mymuilist$(30) )
then to remove an item from the list, you have two choices..
1. move all the strings down a slot
eg ;##remove string 3
for a=3 to numstrings
mymuilist$(a)=mymuilist$(a+1)
next
This has tidies up the list, but you`ll be left with blank entries at the
bottom ..since you`ve already predefined the number of entries. You could
modify the above, by using 2 arrays and freeing and dimming them to the
right size as required, then telling MUI to use the newer array.
2. The cleaner way is to use the insert and remove commands for
Muilist/Muinlist.. it saves on having to define arrays and it tidies up
after itself. Docs for doing this are in the EFMui docs.
