Addint items to a combobox
-
I have a combo box on form FrmFinance and it has lots of values and a "Other" selection. If you select it, a dialog window opens, Dialog1. What I want is that on Dialog1 form there is a textbox called txtMake and when you press OK btnOK on the dialog1 form, the item gets added to cmbmake (combo box) on FrmFinance. I don't want any values removed from the combobox, just add what is in the textbox when you press OK Any ideas?
In the end we're all just the same

At Last found the solution to this problem previously I was also facing somewhat similar problem here is the solution which worked for me. In your form2 declare a Class level variable of form type e.g.
Dim oForm as Form
now in the Load event of form2 just make this equal to the 'ActiveForm' property of frmFinance e.g.
oForm = frmFinance.ActiveForm
Now just enter the following code in the Button Click event handler or in whatever event you want to use in order to add items to the Combobox e.g.
Private Sub btnOK\_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnOK.Click CType(oForm, frmFinance).cboMake.Items.Add(Me.txtMake.Text) End SubAs it helped me I hope it help you too... Good Luck !

OK, but maybe you also want: - to make sure the value is not already present; - sort the values; - remove some when there are too many values. :)

I got that to work, just changed "Dim oForm as Form" to "Public oForm as Form", thanks. Now how would I remove all items I added to combo box without removing all items? Also, when you click button, I want the combobox to focus on the new added item
