[RESOLVED] [2008]Filling combo box from a parent form.

[steve_rm]

Hello,

What is the best method to fill a combo box from a parent form.

The combo boxes are in a child from and the child form is opened by the parent form.

I have 2 combo boxes and wondering what is the best method to fill them from the parent form.

The method I was thinking of usig was adding a list of string and sending the list in the constructor of the child form. Then the list of list will populate the combo boxes.

The data I have is always in the parent form and this is why I have to send it somehow to the child form.

Thank,

If the child form must ALWAYS have this data then, yes, use the constructor. Otherwise use a property, which may or may not be set.
