The Text and SelectedText properties of a ComboBox work exactly the same way as for a TextBox. How would you get the data you want if it was a TextBox?

yes...i solved it according to your suggestion JMC sir i just got this below code from your an another post
provided by you "GetItemText"
msgbox(ComboBox1.GetItemText(Combobox1.SeletectedItem).Tostring) ...

Thanks JMC

First up, GetItemText returns a String, so calling ToString on the result is rather pointless. Second, this:

ComboBox1.GetItemText(Combobox1.SeletectedItem)

does exactly the same as this:

ComboBox1.Text

Given that you were already using SelectedText and I mentioned SelectedText and Text in my previous post, did that not suggest that you should have used Text?
