[2005] drop item

how to add dropdown item in a menu w/ shortcut key? what code should i write?

You would need to capture the KeyDown event of your form and check to see if the keys pressed were your shortcut keys and if so, bring up a dialog box that lets the user enter the text they want to be added to the drop down, then add it like so:

vb Code:

Dim UserInput As String
'Set the UserInput string value from a text box etc here
MyComboBox.Items.Add(UserInput)
