You can add any type of object to a combobox. The ToString function of the
object returns what has to be displayed in the combobox.

Taken from a previous post:


class MyComboitem
public readonly ID as integer
public readonly Text as string
public sub new(byval ID as integer,byval Text as string)
me.id=id
me.text=text
end sub
public overrides Function ToString as string
return Text
end function
end class

'code adding items:
dim item as mycomboitem
item = new mycomboitem(theid, thetext)
combobox1.items.add(item)

'to retrieve the id from an item:
dim item as mycomboitem
item = directcast(combobox1.items(0), mycomboitem)
msgbox(item.text)
 
Private Structure vpair

dim text As String

dim value As Int32

End Structure

Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click

Dim ivp As New vpair

ivp.text = "Hello"

ivp.value = 60

ComboBox1.Items.Add(ivp)

MessageBox.Show(ComboBox1.Items(2).text)

MessageBox.Show(ComboBox1.Items(2).value)

End Sub

actually it needs 2 be a class

Private Class vpair

Public text As String

Public value As Int32

Public Overrides Function toString() As String

Return text

End Function

End Class
