How to search for items in a combobox?

[jayinthe813]

It makes no sense to put the combobox items into a text file, especially since you can access which items are in the combobox immediately, and add or remove items. Create a StringBuilder and then loop through the items. My example below assumes textbox1.text contains the string you are looking for.

        Dim builder As New System.Text.StringBuilder

        For Each comboItem In ComboBox1.Items
            If comboItem = TextBox1.Text Then
                builder.AppendLine(comboItem)
            End If
        Next comboItem

        MsgBox(builder.ToString)
