fill three combo boxes

[Doug]

Hi

I have a list of about 50 text items (strings) that I would like to add to
about 5 combo boxes at various times depending on if a user clicks on the OK
button.

I have tried to code an example such as:
String ArrayList arr = new arr {"cat","dog","pig"};
this.cbo1.Items.Add(arr); but this doesn't work for me.

and i have tried:

string[] arr = {"cat","dog","pig"};
this.cbo1.Items.Add(arr);

but this puts "String[] Array" in the combo box.

I would like to create some way to call a method that will add the array to
any or all of the combo boxex.

For example if i click on button 'btnCbo1' the combo box cbo1 will have the
items in the choices, or btnCbo2 will make those choices available to cbo2
etc.

Any help appreciated.

Hi Doug,

It is the best way to add range of elements to a combo box.

Keep up the good work.
