Selecting an item in ComboBox

[wendymelon]

How do I select the item in the ComboBox. The selected item will determine what will be inserted in ComboBox2.

[beowulf]

you could use this

private sub command1_click
dim item as string
item = combo1.text
combo2.additem string
end sub

let me know if thats not what you wanted

[Smeagol]

the .ListIndex property moves to an entry

combo1.List(x) property returns the text.

combo1.list(combo1.listindex) returns the selected item.

I think something like this is what he wants.

Combo1.ListIndex = 2

[wendymelon]

Where should I put these codes?

in the Combo1_Click? or Combo2_Click?

when combo1 item is selected, it will determine the items to be added into combo2.

[beowulf]

my bad the code i posted above should be this

private sub command1_click
dim item as string
item = combo1.text
combo2.additem item
end sub

this code would be used with a command button but you could change it to whatever you wanted.

Or :

Private Sub Combo1_Click()
 Combo2.AddItem Combo1.List(Combo1.ListIndex)
End Sub

[MartinLiss]

OK, now I really think I see what you want.

Private Sub Combo1_Click()
    Combo2.AddItem Combo1.List(Combo1.ListIndex)
End Sub

[Madboy]

Private Sub Form_Load()
Combo1.AddItem = Hello
Combo1.AddItem -Goodbye
End Sub
 
Private Sub Combo1_Click()
    Select Case Combo1.Text
        
        Case "Hello"
            MsgBox ("Hello")
            
        Case "Goodbye"
            MsgBox ("Goodbye")
            
    End Select
End Sub

What's with the = and - ? They aren't needed... They are wrong

[Madboy]

- was a mistake, and i couldnt remember the syntax off the top of my head regarding the =.

The general Select Case code is a nice clean working example, he can remove my errors now.
