New to ComboBox
 

Hi:

I have a ComboBox called cboList. My code follows:

-------------------------------------------------------
1
-------------------------------------------------------
Private Sub cboList_DropButtonClick()
Dim arr(1 To 2) As String
Dim i As Integer

arr(1) = "Test1"
arr(2) = "Test2"

cboPortfolioList.Clear

For i = 1 To 2
cboPortfolioList.AddItem arr(i)
Next i

End Sub

The DropButtonClick funttion works just fine. But when I
tried to select a value, I could't see the selected value
in the ComboBox. I tried to use Application.ScreenUpdating
= True to see what's happening. It seemed that my selected
value appeared for 1/1000 sec and then dissapeared.

I also tried the following, which also failed:

-------------------------------------------------------
2
------------------------------------------------------
Private Sub cboList_Change()
Select Case cboList.Value
Case 0
cboList.Text = "Test1"
Case 1
cboList.Text = "Test2"
End Select
End Sub

Following code works:
---------------------------------------------------------
3
--------------------------------------------------------

Private Sub cboList_Change()
Select Case cboList.Value
Case 0
cboList.Text = "Test 1"
Case 1
cboList.Text = "Test 2"
End Select
End Sub

NOTICE the string values in the third code are with space,
i.e. "Test 1" and not "Test1". In another word, the text
property works if the assigned value is not equal to the
value property.


My question is how can I make my selection permanently
visible? Shouldn't the ComboBox control automatically
change its value to user's selection? and why does the
text property only work if its value is different from the
value property?


Regards,
Adrian T

I would drop all that code an initialize the combobox when the userform is
displayed

Private Sub Userform_Initialize()
Dim arr(1 To 2) As String
Dim i As Integer

arr(1) = "Test1"
arr(2) = "Test2"

cboPortfolioList.Clear

For i = 1 To 2
cboPortfolioList.AddItem arr(i)
Next i

End Sub
