ComboBox and Xtra Data

[jesus4u]

Ok, I have a combo box loading 30 values from the DB BUT I want to load the items id in the tag property but it only stores one value for the whole combo box. How can I store the id in like a hidden field so when the user selects the item I pass only the id?

Get it?

Thanks

is this normal VB as opposed to ASP etc?

if so, you can use the ItemData property, which is a second list (numeric only) which matches the items in the main list.

To use it:

combo1.additem "item"
combo1.ItemData(combo1.NewIndex) = Id_no

GREAT! That was it. Thank you very much.
