[2008] combobox issue

[dani2]

I need to populate a combobox directly without a datasource

items.add()

and still be able to use a display value and a real value.
How can be done?

thank you

You could create a structure like this:

Private Structure MyStructure
        Private displayValue As String
        Private realValue As Integer
        Public Sub New(ByVal DisplayVal As String, ByVal RealVal As Integer)
            displayValue = DisplayVal
            realValue = RealVal
        End Sub
        Public Overrides Function ToString() As String
            Return displayValue
        End Function
    End Structure

Create a structure and add it to a combobox and you'll find that the structure has been added to the items collection but only the "DisplayValue" member is displayed, due to overriding the ToString function.
