Combo Box

[jxiong]

I am using a combobox with 8 items in it.
How do I know which item the user has selected, i.e.,
combo1.listindex is 0 even tho the user has already
select something.

Thanks for the help.

combo1.text

Private Sub Combo1_Click()
Label1.Caption = Combo1.Text
End Sub

Private Sub Form_Load()
Combo1.AddItem "One", 0
Combo1.AddItem "Two", 1
Combo1.AddItem "Three", 2
Combo1.AddItem "Four", 3
Combo1.AddItem "Five", 4
Combo1.AddItem "Six", 5
Combo1.AddItem "Seven", 6
Combo1.Text = "One"
End Sub

Hi Cander,

Sorry for not being clear. What I really want is the
index of the combo item and not the text because
I have another object that I must match the index
of the combo box to.

Example:

cboItems(0).text = "APPLE" cboPrice(0).text = "$1.4"
cboItems(1).text = "PEAR" cboPrice(1).text = "$1.0"
cboItems(2).text = "PIE" cboPrice(2).text = "$0.4"

So when the user selected "PEAR" I want to read
the value from cboPrice(1).text

oh..my bad..

found the answer/problem:

Answer: use the cboItems_click()
cboItems.ListIndex

Problem: cboItems_Change()
will return -1 for cboItems.ListIndex
