I've this listbox (the file list.txt is a list of about 1000 names):

1. import controlP5.*;
   
   ControlP5 controlP5;
   
   ListBox l;
   ArrayList testoA = new ArrayList();
   
   void setup( ) {
    
     size(470, 295);
   
     controlP5 = new ControlP5(this);
     l = controlP5.addListBox("myList",20,40,80,240);
     l.setItemHeight(15);
     l.setBarHeight(15);
   
     l.captionLabel().toUpperCase(true);
     l.captionLabel().set("SELECT A NAME");
     l.captionLabel().style().marginTop = 3;
     l.valueLabel().style().marginTop = 3; // the +/- sign
     //l.setBackgroundColor(color(100,0,0));
   
     l.setColorBackground(color(255,128));
     l.setColorActive(color(255,0,0,128));
   
   
     String[] lines = loadStrings("list.txt");
     for( int i = 0; i < lines.length; i++){
       String[] tokens  = lines[i].toLowerCase().split(" ");
       for (int k = 0; k < tokens.length; k++){
         testoA.add(tokens[k]);
         l.addItem(tokens[k], k);
       }
     }
   }
   
   
   
   void controlEvent(ControlEvent theEvent) {
    
     if (theEvent.isGroup()) {
       // an event from a group e.g. scrollList
       println(theEvent.group().value() +" from "+theEvent.group());
     }
   }
   
   void draw(){
     background(0);
     text (tokens[ceil(theEvent.group().value())]);
   }

there's a way to use the "label" of the listbox as text in void draw?

thanks
