adding an item to a ComboBox

[flynn]

I am wanting to add an item to a combobox, so I thought I could do something like this:

dim cboItem as ComboBoxItem

cboItem = ComboBox1.add()

cboItem.text = "123"
cboItem.tag = "abc"

 

Is there a way to create a combobox item, then set the values of that item?

Create a class something like this...

public class ComboBoxItem
{
private string _displayMember;
private int _value;

public ComboBoxItem(string text, int val)
{
	_displayMember = text;
	_value = val;
}

public string DisplayMember
{
	get { return _displayMember; }
	set { _displayMember = value; }
}

public int Value
{
	get { return _value; }
	set { _value = value; }
}
}

Then use it something like...

ComboBox comboBox1 = new ComboBox();

ComboBoxItem newItem1 = new ComboBoxItem("hello", 10);
ComboBoxItem newItem2 = new ComboBoxItem("Bob", 9);

comboBox1.DisplayMember = "DisplayMember";
comboBox1.ValueMember = "Value";

comboBox1.Items.Add(newItem1);
comboBox1.Items.Add(newItem2);
