Custom ComboBox woes

[jkroupa]

using c#, I basically want the equivlent of a mfc ComboBox or ListBox where you can SetItemData() on an index.

 

I want to store several variables for each entry in my combo box, but am unsure how to do it.

 

I imagine I could override the item.add for a combobox, however I don't know how to do that.

 

Any one got some ideas?

Easiest way is create a class to hold the items you want and override the tostring method to return what you would like displayed.

The listbox.items.add() method takes any object and calls it's ToString method to get the text to display.

Sadly I posted before I looked, and I noticed a recent thread that said essentially the same thing.

 

Now my question is, how do I create columns in a combo box?

 

basically I want something like

 

123 | blah

134 | Super blah

 

so that the Key is what is displayed, but dropping down you see the description.
