a question re vb.net

[Ricky D]

In my autocompletecombo I would like to expose the items collection of the internal combobox. How do I do this in vb.net? I'm not sure what type the Items is.

regards, Ricky

You will need to convert the collection to an array of strings and return the array.

Something like

public String GetItem(int index)
{
    (String) return combox.items(index); // might need the cast 
}

public String SetItem(int index, String value)
{
    combobox.items(index) = value;
}

Sorry it's in C# but you probably get the idea! Normally I test code fragments before I post but I haven't actually tried this. I think the cast that might be needed is DirectCast in VB but it is so long since I used it I may have forgotten.
