It seems like there's no "quicker" way to get selected string. Like having a ListBox.SelectedItem property in the dropdown list.
-Fixed.

Honestly speaking, this request is so confusing... probably worded all wrong.

listbox.Items is an option to grab "literal strings" from items. Because Items is an array of strings.
"A easy straightforward way to grab the string from a listbox item index" is ListBox.Items[index]. What could be more straightforward than that?

What you probably ask for, is a "quicker" way to get selected string. Like having a ListBox.SelectedItem property.

Correct, that what I meant. I may have used a very wrong and confusing description. Probably due to the amount of threads text I posted here one after another in the last couple of hours about issues and such. :-D  -Fixed.

Just wanted to say that I think it's great that you're opening all these "tickets," even if it turns out that some of them are not priorities to implement. Once you've used the engine for a while, you get used to its quirks, and it can make you blind to things that should be fixed.

Thanks Snarky. I really spent a lot of hours today going a week back on Discord to gather all the things that I raised there, both to help AGS and as CW wished that they'd be recorded somewhere. I didn't and still don't expect everything to be fixed/changed of course. I mainly did this so there would be a record about each one of them, so if others will search for other people who asked about these topics in the forum in the future they could get here and read the discussion.
