Hi all,

My dropdown combo has two columns, one is for text and one is for value.
When coding, is it possible to assign a text to it while the corresponding
value is also assigned to it?

Use the object.AddItem and object.List properties [object.list(row, column)]

With ComboBox1 'Rename ComboBox1 to the name of your control
.Additem "Your Text here"
.List(0, 1) = "1" 'Or any other value you assign
.Additem "Text line two"
.List(1, 1) = "2"
.Additem "Text line three"
.List(2, 1) = "3"
End With

'If you don't use the 'With' statement then it would be more typing.
'Like so:

ComboBox1.Additem "Your Text here"
ComboBox1.List(0, 1) = "1" 'Or any other value you assign
ComboBox1.Additem "Text line two"
ComboBox1.List(1, 1) = "2"
ComboBox1.Additem "Text line three"
ComboBox1.List(2, 1) = "3"

'Hope this helps

Hi IT_roofer,

Thank you for your answer. you misunderstood my question. My question is
like the following:

if a combo box has two columns, one is for text(display) and the other one
is for value, when we click it , it will display a list of text , when we
refer to it, it will give use the value behide. if we do not click it first,
instead we assign it one of its text list, is it possible to get the
corresponding value?

Oops, sorry about that. Are you looking for the index number of the text in
the list or are you looking for a numerical value in column 2 that
correspinds to the text in column 1?
