Change combobox value

[Rickard Hill]

Fellow csharpers..

I got a problem that I haven't found a solution for, and are hoping to get some help.

I have the following piece of code (with commented out parts that I tried without success)
Hoping someone can help me.

else if (msg[0].ToString() == "set")
                    {
                        MessageBox.Show(msg[0].ToString());
                        if (msg[1].ToString() == "master")
                        {
                            MessageBox.Show(msg[1].ToString());
                            int num;
                            if (Int32.TryParse(msg[2], out num))
                            {
                                int NMasters = MasterBox.Items.Count;
                                MessageBox.Show(NMasters.ToString());
                                if (num < 1)
                                {
                                    Client.Self.InstantMessage(e.IM.FromAgentID, "[ERROR]: Invalid number (lower than NMasters), please try again!");
                                }
                                else if (num > NMasters)
                                {
                                    Client.Self.InstantMessage(e.IM.FromAgentID, "[ERROR]: Invalid number (Higher than NMasters), please try again!");
                                }
                                else
                                {
                                    MessageBox.Show("MEH");
                                    MasterBox.Select(num, num);
                                    //MasterBox.DroppedDown = true;
                                    //MasterBox.SelectedItem = num;
                                    //MasterBox.DroppedDown = false;
                                    //MasterName = MasterBox.SelectedItem.ToString();
                                    //GetMKey();
                                }
                            }
                        }
                    }
 

Everything is working, up until where I want the combobox (MasterBox) to change.
The command "set master X" is supposed to change the selected item inside the combobox, but whatever I try won't work.

Is it possible at all to do it the way I am trying to? Or do I have to re-think it all?

I am not too good (yet) with Csharp, so hopefully someone can point me in the right direction.

Thank you all!

Im not sure I exactly get what you're trying to do, but how about:

MasterBox.SelectedIndex = num - 1
