Hi, having a bit of trouble with ComboBox do you ?

I may have a solution for you (if not too late)...

Don't try to do this operation a at once (in one string)

Do so :

1) Set your combo to dropdown list
2) Fill your list with your +-/\* signs and assign them
a specific ItemData ( let's say 0 to 4)

3) When it's time to do the math, do this

select case (combo.itemdata(comdo.listindex))

case 0
Do the operation with the +

case 1

Do the operation with the -

and so on...


end select


Simple, not too complicated and... it works !!!

Hope I helped...
