How do you link an item to a item in a combobox

[CCDriver]

Can someone point me to an example on how to link some items in textbox's to an item in a combo box when it's selected or show how it's done please.

I have five textbox's with variable data in them and they need to associated to an item in the combo.

Can you clarify your question please.

This question is not that clear but anyhow, each items in ComboBox has an INDEX associated with it. You can save this INDEX into the TEXTBOX .Tag properties or something like that to link that TEXTBOX with the item in the ComboBox.

Ok, thank you Cool Bizs. I'll have a go but do you know if there is an example somewhere?

Thanks

[coolbiz]

I can give you a sample code on assigning the INDEX property of the combobox to the TAG property of the textbox but not sure if it applies to what you are doing right now.


private Sub cmbItem_Click()
' assign listindex to the TAG so that we know which item to modify later
if (cmbItem.ListIndex <> -1) then
txtModifyItem.Text = cmbItem.List(cmdItem.ListIndex)
txtModifyItem.Tag = cmdItem.ListIndex
end if
End Sub

private Sub txtModityItem_LostFocus()
' check if text is different from original value
if (cmbItem.List(cint(txtModifyItem.Tag)) <> txtModifyItem.Text)) then
' should confirm if user wants to save changes
cmbItem.List(cint(txtModifyItem.Tag)) = txtModifyItem.Text
end if
End Sub




Hope this helps,

Hi Cool Bizs
I have been mucking around with this for the last couple of nights and it's close to what i want i think.
What it's doing is putting the item in the combo box (a company name) into the text box, which isn't quite what i wanted to happen.
What i have is a combo box and five textbox's. The combo holds a company name and the textbox's hold the address of the company, when i select a company name in the combo i want the textbox's to show the address of that company.

I hope that is a little clearer this time.
Your code is close to what i need but i can't quite get it the rest of the way.

Can you help please?
