Hi all,
I use a ComboBox in my VB.Net 2005 application. I allow the users to add items to this ComboBox by entering an items name in a TextBox they then press a button and the item is added to the ComboBox.
Now they want to be able to remove an item from the ComboBox if they mistakenly add something. How can this be done?

Thank you in Advance,
RotorTorque :)
 
I believe it is something like

Code:
MyComboBox.Items.Remove(MyComboBox.SelectedIndex)

Hope it helps,

Alex

AlexCuse,
In my ComboBox, if I right-click a dropdown menu appears. One of the options in the menu is Delete. Is there a way to capture the event when a user clicks on Delete?


Thanks you

I'm not sure about this. I think you'd need to create your own context menu and assign that to the ComboBox. Then, have the code to delete a given item in the delete option of this menu.
