[RESOLVED] comboBox

hi does anyone know how to read an array from a dialog box?
i want to read the code below.. need help urgently pls... thnx...

Code:

---

Private Shared ReadOnly route As String() = { _
        "Holland Circle", "Darbin", "Bugis", "Coronation Street", "Winnard", _
        "Bridgetown", "Gorky", "Interimo", "Bishan", "Woodland Rise" _

I have no idea what you are asking. You want to display the contents of that array in a dialog?

ooh.. sorry, i want that data in the array to appear in a dropdown list when i run the code..
so am asking for a way to do that
tnx..

Something along thesse lines:

Code:

---

Public Class Form1

    Private Shared ReadOnly route As String() = { _
          "Holland Circle", "Darbin", "Bugis", "Coronation Street", "Winnard", _
          "Bridgetown", "Gorky", "Interimo", "Bishan", "Woodland Rise"}

    Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load

        Me.ComboBox1.DataSource = route

    End Sub

End Class

---

    Private Shared ReadOnly route As String() = { _
        "Holland Circle", "Darbin", "Bugis", "Coronation Street", "Winnard", _

Read your code.... You are reloading the combobox(s) every time you make a selection.

Re read my post - The Combo loads at Form_Load() - for example.

tnx alot... i can now load it... but i have 2 comboBoxes that get there data from the array,
and they move together. i mean when i select an item in the first combo box, the other comboxbox automatically selects the same item i selected in the first comboBox, why is this? and how can i get it to select individually?
thank you so much, at list theres some light nw.. i've been struggling for it to show something a while now...

Code:

---

Private Shared ReadOnly route As String() = { _
        "Holland Circle", "Darbin", "Bugis", "Coronation Street", "Winnard", _
        "Bridgetown", "Gorky", "Interimo", "Bishan", "Woodland Rise" _
    }
   
    Private Sub frmArea1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
        Me.oringinComboBox.DataSource = route
        Me.destnComboBox.DataSource = route
    End Sub

Because when you assign the same array to 2 datasources they are bound together.

Change your formload code to have this, which will simply just load each combo with the string contents of your array.

Code:

---

        Me.oringinComboBox.Items.AddRange(route)
        Me.destnComboBox.Items.AddRange(route)
