By then it is too late. Keep track of the item before you delete it.

yes... before deleting i want to save the image name in a variable.. how to do it?? that is ... first i select it from listbox.. then i need to save the image name in variable and then delete... how to do my second step... that is save it ina variable before deleting to show that image is deleted in a msg box... please do reply...

curidx = get(hObject, 'Value');
curstrings = get(hObject, 'String');

variable = curstrings{curidx};

curstrings(curidx) = [];  %delete it in this list
set(hObject, 'String', curstrings);  write new list in

Now the variable named "variable" will hold the string.

msgbox( sprintf('Deleting from list: %s', variable) );
