combobox - value and index!

[steinwerfer]

please help me.

a small combobox with:

cmbNames.Items.Add("Russia")           'index = 0...
cmbNames.Items.Add("USA")         
cmbNames.Items.Add("Timbuktu")

what if the indices or value-values of "russia" or "usa" are different of the combobox-indices?

[no code, only for better undestanding]

combox(0) :: Russia = 2
combox(1) :: USA = 1
combox(2) :: Timbuktu = 51

the names dont come from a table or database.

do you have a "text-in-vB-Code"-converter or how do you change all the colors in your code-samples? i am searching for one... and dont have the time to build me one himself. because the manual "part-by-part"-setting is a little difficult by so many code-samples.
