So in the beginning I didn’t understand your exact problem... Anyway, At the moment the best way I think about to solve this problem is creating your own function that runs on the list of states and search for the specific id... so the function will return the index.. to make it easier You can even inherit from the class Combo Box and overload the function indexOf so it will do the job.. When I will have a better answer for this problem I will notify you :-) Good luck!

well, I have one main search form which searches different type of data, say, user info, and company info for example, and in my search form I use one drop down to display the results based on what you searched for, so if you searched for users, then the combo box will show you a list of matching users, if you searched for companies, then you'll get a list of companies in the combo box. I wanted to make it so that when you click on the combo box, the app will call 1 method to load the corresponding form which will display and let you view/edit data. When you do the search I pre-set a val in my app that tells me what type of data we're looking at.
