ComboBox Text Property

[Radu]

Hi,

I am having a ComboBox called targetCombo. The first item which shows up is set with

targetCombo.text = "jhg"

The problem is that when I want to change it I get the Error that the Text Property is read only.
How can I change the first choice in the combo box?

One more question:

Depending on a selection in the combo box I want a radio button to enable or disable. How can I make the comboBox selection take action on the radio button?

you have to select the item thru the List property.


combo1.list(1) = "Blah"

You can use combobox.value = "Your text here"

If your ComboBox style property is set to DropDropDown List (2) then it is indeed a Readonly box. Set the style to 0 or 1 to be able to enter data into it programattically. To prevent users from keying data when style is 0 or 1, add this to the KeyPress event of the comboBox

private Sub Combo1_KeyPress(KeyAscii as Integer)
KeyAscii = 0
End Sub
