Combo Boxes

A combo box is very similar to the option frames we learned about earlier in the unit. They allow you to pick different options by simply clicking your choice. However, unlike the option commands, they do not take a large space, and are all jam-packed in a small scrollable tool (similar to a drop-down menu).

Since there is very little to talk about, I guess I can explain and display the few different types of code that pertain to combo boxes (at least the ones we learned about).

Cboinserthere.additem "whatever"
This code inserts a different option inside of the combo box.

Cboinserthere.listindex = #

This is the original option that the code is on top of when you start the program.

Ugh, as you can see, very little stuff was taught today. The concept is pretty simple, and it will be extremely efficient in future projects, but there just isn't much to talk about it, and that's a bummer (I don't want my blog to be short).

Anyways, until next time!
