ComboBox and Command Button

[suchis]

I would like to know the code for Selecting an Item from VB ComboBox and use a Command button to manipulate the selected item.

 

[Error7]

MsgBox Combo1.list(Combo1.ListIndex) will display the item in the ComboBox that you click on.

What do you mean by "manipulate the selected item"?

Sorry, should have explained that you need to put the code in the click event of the combobox.

Put a combobox, a command button, and a textbox on a form then ...
form_load()
combo1.additem = "dog"
combo1.additem = "cat"
combo1.additem = "fish"
combo1.additem = "mouse"
end sub

command1_click()
text1.text = combo1.text
end sub

 

[Error7]

vbrocks, that won't work.

You can't use the = sign when adding items.

The Command button works but requires 2 user inputs instead of just 1:

Private Sub Combo1_Click()
Text1 = Combo1.List(Combo1.ListIndex)
End Sub

Sorry about that....

In form_load() event
combo1.additem "dog"
combo1.additem "cat"
combo1.additem "fish"
combo1.additem "mouse"
end sub

In command1_click() event
text1.text = combo1.text
end sub
