getting data from a listbox control...

I know this is probably something that's insanely easy.. but I can't seem to figure it out for the life of me! see... I need to set a string equal to a certain member of a listbox control. For example... say I have the following values in my listbox, named list1:

this
is
my
program

how would I set a string... say, strtemp, to be equal to "my", the third item of the listbox control?

now... I was thinking it would be something like...

strtemp = list1.datamember(3), but that isn't working :-/ anyone have any idea how this can be done correctly?

Code:

'Retrieving list items:
Dim i As Integer

For i = 0 To List1.ListCount - 1
    Debug.Print List1.List(i)
Next i

'What you want:
Dim strtemp As String

strtemp = List1.List(2)
