Comboz

[savok]

How can i set it so I can select fields in the combo box but could not enter anything? If i set Locked property to true it doesnt let me select the fields only view them.


Also if I load the combo with an index, how can i then set the value of the combo box to what ever index I have.

Combo.AddItem Rec!Name
Combo.ItemData(Combo.NewIndex) = Rec!NameID

lets say my ID was 15, how would I set the value of the combo box to the name which has the index of 15?

thanks.

For the first part, set the style to 2 (I forget the name, but it disallows the user from being able to enter text in the text portion).

For the second part, you would need a loop
Pseudocode:

flag = false
for i=1 to <cmb.number of items>
  if <search for> = <cmb.itemdata(i)> then
     flag = true
     exit for
  end if
end loop
if flag then 
   <do stuff>
end if

Hope that helps. =)
