Selecting combobox contents

Hello,

I have a newbie combobox question.

The combobox contains California's cities but I don't want to hardcode something like:

VB Code:

If cboState.Text = "Sacramento" = Then
'Do something with the selection
End If

Is there any other property I can use in a selection without hardcoding?

Any coding suggestions are welcomed!

I don't know what you mean by hardcoding but this maybe another way .

VB Code:

Dim indx As Integer = Me.ComboBox1.SelectedIndex
 
        Select Case indx
 
            Case 0
 
            Case 1
 
            Case 2
 
        End Select

Pirate,

Sorry what I meant was for each city of California something is done differently maybe a few more checkboxes on the form being made available or something of that nature.

For every city I don't want to hardcode because that piece of code will be too long, plus there are 50 states, making the code even longer.

What I don't want to do is:

VB Code:

If cboState.SelectedItem = "Los Angeles" Then
          CheckBox1.Visible = False
End If

Is there an alternative to keep the code smaller?


Thanks

Chris
