    Question How can I detect what item is selected on the combobox?

    I need to know what the selected item in a combobox is, but after selecting the item, the user fills other fields so, I cannot use combo1.seltext. What can I do?

    Mete the Hun wanted to live in peace with the Chinese. So he gave the Chinese Emperor his favorite horse, best swords in his armory, and lots of other cool stuff. But then the Chinese Emperor asked for one thing. A useless land through the north. It was a small, useless, unproductive, uninhabited piece of land. But Mete the Hun's answer was certain:
    I gave you horses, weapons and much more which belonged to me. But the lands are not mine, it's my nation's and I'm ready to fight, kill and die for just an inch my country

    You can use something like this:

    VB Code:
    1. Combo1.List(combo1.listindex)
    as long as multiselect isn't on. otherwise you'd have to loop checking for the .selected() property.

    There is no multiselect property with a combo box.
