manipulating controls
 

I have a bunch of comboboxes i would like to set the values to before my form
loads based on how big a range is but i want to be able to run through all
combo boxes with having to write a block for each ...... using some code i
seen in a book i wrote this and thought that this might work ...

any suggestions



Dim mycontrol As Control

Load ISBN

For Each mycontrol In Controls
If Left(mycontrol.Name, 5) = "Combo" Then
For Fill = 0 To a - 1
With mycontrol
Dim nextitem As Integer
nextitem = 65 + Fill
.AddItem Chr(nextitem)
End With
Next Fill
End If
Next

I think it would depend on what you want each combobox set to.

If you always want the first item in the list, you could change each of the
..listindex properties to 0. If you wanted something more complex, it might make
more sense to just populate each combobox with the value you want.
