Reset combo box 3

[Igeeky1]

How can I reset a combo box? (style 2, drop down list)<br>
<br>
I want to be able to reset the cbobox to its original status when the program starts (nothing displayed). Can't use cboBox.Text = Empty because get error: read only.<br>
<br>
Please help<br>
<br>
Thanks<br>
<br>

Well one way (maybe no the best way) is to put a blank record in your combo box list and select it.<br>
Or maybe Delete all items in the list and re-add them<br>
Which may have the effect of choosing a blank one.<br>
<br>
If you delete them it works best backwards<br>
i.e.<br>
<br>
for a = combo1.listcount to 1 step -1<br>
' delete items<br>
Next<br>

A better way to empty a combo box (which I know wasn't the original question) is to use the Clear method.<br>
<br>
Call Combo1.Clear<br>
