    Nested loop on mutiple combo box

    Hello , newbie here, I have a project where a user will enter a model number in a textbox and if the model he enter "contain" specific code and compare it with element in a array, well the program will update the a combo box in the menu containing the same code, so the user know that the model number he enter is valid.

    Then thing is , the model number contain multiple code separated in a specific order and update multiple combo box on the menu, my question is can I use multiple nested loop so when the first loop start and the model the user have user is found, it continue looking in the string looking for the next code,with another loop example:

    Let say the user have enter in the textbox this: C-FI-A1-15-PP-ST-ST-RT

    Here is the code to check:



    Code:
    Dim handleOptions() As String = {"PP","AP","WP"}  
    Dim slideArmsOptions() As String = {"TX","TZ","TY"}  
    
    For i As Integer = 0 To handleOptions.length -1  
    	If TXB_CODE_ING.Contains(handleOptions(i)) Then 
    		CMB_HandleOptions  =  handleOptions(i)  
    		For j As Integer = 0  To slideArmsOptions.length -1  
    			If TXB_CODE_ING.Contains(slideArmsOptions(j)) Then  
    				CMB_DrawerSlideArmOptions = slideArmsOptions(j) 
                  
    			End If  
    		Next  
    	End If 
    Next
    So do its the correct way to do it?

    Thank!

    If you want to check if what has been entered in the TextBox is in an Array then just the the array "contains" property. You seem to be doing it backwards.

    Code:
     If handleOptions.Contains(TXB_CODE_ING.Text) Then
    No need for a Loop.

    I got a message , 'Contains' is not a member of 'System.Array'. ??

    if Array.IndexOf(handleOptions, TXB_CODE_ING.Text) > -1

    Do you have the System.Linq namespace imported? It should be imported by default unless you're using a version of Visual Studio that is relatively old.

    My problem was fixed by imported System.Linq, but with your method, how I will copy the value to my combo box?

    Thank a lot!

    Code:
    ComboBox1.SelectedIndex = ComboBox1.FindStringExact(TXB_CODE_ING.Text)
