How do I implement the value equivalent of the ComboBox.FindSt ringExact
method?
I.e. How do I set the ComboBox.Select edIndex so that the
ComboBox.Select edValue object matches one that I specify.
Thanks in advance for any help,

Dennis,
You do not understand the question! It is not how use FindStringExact , which
works with the ComboBox.Displa yMember.
The question is how to find the index corresponding to a specific
ComboBox.ValueM ember.

Hal,
When I had not read your answer to Dennis I would have given the same answer
as he.
Therefore it is true that probably Dennis did not understand your question,
probably because of the way the question was asked.
The answer is simple, use a dataview (or defaultview) as datasource and use
a dataview.find to find the rowindex. That you can set to your
selectedindex. http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...findtopic1.asp
I hope this helps?

Cor,
Thanks for your reply. I'd like to rephrase the question as follows:
Can you provide an implementation for the following function definition?
Public Function FindValue(ByVal cb As System.Windows. Forms.ComboBox,
ByVal obj As Object) As Integer
'Parameters
' cb
' the ComboBox to be searched
' obj
' the Object to search for
'
'Return Value
' The zero-based index of the first item found; returns -1 if no
match is found.
'
'Remarks
' Uses the Equals method of the Object class to determine a match
' returns the index for which the following is true:
' obj.Equals(cb.S electedItem)
'
End Function
Thanks,
Hal

if cb.items.contai ns(obj) then
return cb.items.indexO f( obj)
else
return -1
end if
Does this work for you ? http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...dexoftopic.asp

I've seen this problem discussed a jillion times but I cannot seem to
