ComboBox1.Items.Add("blah")
ComboBox1.Items.Add("1234")

This can be expanded-on using a button labeled "+" or however you submit
changes to the form/box:

Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Dim iLoop As Long
Dim bFound As Boolean = False
For iLoop = 0 To ComboBox1.Items.Count - 1
If UCase(ComboBox1.Text) = UCase(ComboBox1.Items.Item(iLoop)) Then
bFound = True
Next
If bFound = False Then ComboBox1.Items.Add(ComboBox1.Text)
End Sub

bFound = True
Next
If bFound = False Then ComboBox1.Items.Add(ComboBox1.Text)
End Sub

Also, if you not bothered about people adding multiple words in different
cases (Aka: Blah, blah, bLaH, etc) then it can be shortened to one line,
like:

Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
If Not ComboBox1.Items.Contains(ComboBox1.Text) Then
ComboBox1.Items.Add(ComboBox1.Text)
End Sub

thanks for the help trammel. i plainly use the code:

Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
If Not ComboBox1.Items.Contains(ComboBox1.Text) Then
ComboBox1.Items.Add(ComboBox1.Text)
End Sub

and it worked.. but is there a way that those new fields that were entered in
the combobox will be part of the combobox's list? for example: the fields in
the combobox are B, C, D then i entered A. every time i close my form and
then reopen there are still 3 fields in the combobox. i want A be be part of
that list, is it possible?

Enriico,

That depends completely from how you this combined box use.

That combobox means in a way the same a multi tool.
