Quick Question

If I build a list into a combo box and create a method of adding to that list. Can the list be modified after compiling?

Code:

---

Private Sub Command1_Click()
  Combo1.AddItem Text1.Text
End Sub

---

you can make Text1 equal to whatever you want, and and it to your list. Is this what you mean?

I believe Crypt answered your question. Just be sure to set the combo box's style to "0"

YES!

So even after compiling I can permanently add things to the list dynamically?

well, not permanently, just for that run of your app, you would have to generate a file that saves your list contents, and then, open the file and load the list when you start the program...

Permanently - no. If you want to have a list of items that is not hard-coded, you must either store and retreive them from a database or a file or some other data storage method.

Here's something I just quickly wrote up

Code:

---

Option Explicit

Private Sub Command1_Click()
    Combo1.AddItem Combo1.Text
End Sub

Private Sub Form_QueryUnload(Cancel As Integer, UnloadMode As Integer)
    Dim x As Integer
    Open "C:\Test.txt" For Output As #1
    For x = 0 To Combo1.ListCount - 1
        Print #1, Combo1.List(x)
    Next
    Close #1
End Sub

Private Sub Form_Load()
    Dim x As Integer
    Dim strCombo As String
    Open "C:\Test.txt" For Input As #1
    Do Until EOF(1)
        Line Input #1, strCombo
        Combo1.AddItem strCombo
    Loop
    Close #1
End Sub
