The behavior for SelectedText will vary depending on how you are populating
the box. You say the method doesn't work. What is it returning?
Be aware that if no value is selected in the combo box, SelectedText (as
well as SelectedValue) will be Nothing. Calling .ToString on Nothing may
result in an exception. Also, If you set the ValueMember of the ComboBox,
you can check the SelectedValue with the same potential for null exception
handling. Additionally, if you are binding an object with a property of type
string to SelectedText or SelectedValue, make sure to check for Nothing before
doing any processing on the value.

Reidar,
Why not simple?
str = cboName.text
(your code is more listbox style with a combobox is the selectedtext in the
textbox)

I have a WinForm ComboBox that is populated by binding to a dataset that
contains a list of employees (two columns: 1. employee id, 2. employee name).
The id is bound to the ValueMember, the name to the DisplayMember. The
dataset is then disposed.
When an item is selected from the combobox, the value is easy to get. Yet
when I try to capture the selected text I get a "DataRowView" back. I've
tried to work my way through the DataRowView...

Hi,
I have a combobox that is bound to a list of text and values in a dataset.
It is in Dropdown mode - which enables the user to type in their own text if
they so wish. when I process the form, I check the Selected value property,
if it is 0 (not one of my bound values) then I know to add their new item to
my database using the combobox.Text property (after prompting them with a
few questions) .
I want to programatically set the text...

Hi,
I have a form with several combo boxes, continuous form format, with

The combo boxes work fine except for subcategory, which is dependent on
category. Depending on category, the drop-down box for subcategory
will display different items. (for...

Hi,
I have a form with unbound fields on it. The user selects a record
from a recordset and I populate the unbound fields. When I try to
change the unbound quantity text box, Access 2003 tells me "The data
has been changed. Another user edited this record and saved the
changes before you attempted to save your changes. Re-edit the
record."
This does not always happen. And yes, I can re-edit the quantity text

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
