ComboBox

[WileeDarklight]

I have a combobox with whose contents get populated via code. Works ok. But When I select something in the list and hit 'OK' it always returns as: nothing, "", or -1 (tried with .selectedValue, .SelectedText, and .SelectedIndex respectively)

Question is, How do you access the text in a ComboBox's selected Value??

Looking at the ListboxCombobox sample. I don't get it, that appears to be exactly what I have. The only difference is my code for that part is located in a module, and I have to refer to my main form
eg:

var = frmMain.cboDropDown.Text.ToString

still comes back as ""

Did you see this?

    Private Sub cboDemo_SelectedIndexChanged(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles cboDemo.SelectedIndexChanged
        If cboDemo.SelectedIndex > -1 Then
            lblResults.Text = cboDemo.SelectedValue.ToString
        Else
            lblResults.Text = String.Empty
        End If
    End Sub

Otherwise, set up a PUBLIC function in the form, to return the value, then call it from your module (when the form is loaded)

GetValue()
