[RESOLVED] [2005] ComboBox

[wence]

How can I add items to the combobox?

Besides, once i click on certain item of the combobox,certain action would be taken. For example, once i add on second item of combobox, certain command would be sent to the serial port..

Looking forward to receiving feedback here in the forum..thanks a lot !

Use the .Items.Add or .Items.AddRange methods to add data to your cbo. Is it originally databound?

Hi Wence,

To add an item to a combobox:

combobox.Items.Add("item1")
combobox.Items.Add("item2")

To perform an action when the combobox is selected: Select the SelectedIndexChanged event. Whenever any of the combobox items are selected it will fire this event.

Private Sub combobox_SelectedIndexChanged(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles combobox.SelectedIndexChanged
        If cbElevinc.Text = "item1" Then
            MsgBox("Perform action for item1")
        ElseIf cbElevinc.Text = "item2" Then
            MsgBox("Perform action for item2")
        End If
    End Sub

I hope this helps.
