Combo Box
Adding items
To add an item to a combo box during runtime, you can use the following syntax:
Combo1.AddItem Item, Index
where Item is a string containing the text to be displayed
for that item. Index is an optional value to identify that
item. You can only use a valid value. For example:
Combo1.AddItem "David", 4
is only valid if the list already has 4 items (remember the index starts from 0) If omitted, a default value is added. (0 is the first item on the list, 1 the second and so on). The following code adds three items to a combo box: David, Paul and Sarah.
Combo1.AddItem "David"
Combo1.AddItem "Paul"
Combo1.AddItem "Sarah"

Try this:
ComboBox1.Items.Add("Text")
It's pretty flexible, you can put just about anything in there:
ComboBox1.Items.Add("Text" & RichTextBox1.Text & someVariable & etc.)

The .AddItem is to add items to the Combo Box at run time. This is normally the preferred way of doing this instead of doing it through the properties of the Combo Box.
Usage:
Combo1.AddItem "String"
Yeah, I was getting an error like "Invalid procedure call or argument" (Runtime error 5). It seems to work if I remove the index # (rather than Combo1.Additem "Blah" 2, just Combo1.Additem "Blah").
Combo1.AddItem tells me that it's a wrong code.
