Examples

The following code example is a complete application showing how you can use the Add method to add items to a ComboBox, the FindString method to find items in a ComboBox, and the BeginUpdate and EndUpdate methods to efficiently add a large number items to a ComboBox. The ability to store values that are different from displayed text is inherited from ListControl. For an example of how to use this feature, see the ListControl class.

You must add references to the System.Drawing and System.Windows.Forms namespaces to run this example.

Remarks

A ComboBox displays a text box combined with a ListBox, which enables the user to select items from the list or enter a new value.

The DropDownStyle property specifies whether the list is always displayed or whether the list is displayed in a drop-down. The DropDownStyle property also specifies whether the text portion can be edited. See ComboBoxStyle for the available settings and their effects. There is no setting to always display the list and disallow entering a new value. To display a list to which no new values can be added, use a ListBox control.

To add or remove objects in the list at run time, use methods of the ComboBox.ObjectCollection class (through the Items property of the ComboBox). You can assign an array of object references with the AddRange method. The list then displays the default string value for each object. You can add individual objects with the Add method. You can delete items with the Remove method or clear the entire list with the Clear method.

In addition to display and selection functionality, the ComboBox also provides features that enable you to efficiently add items to the ComboBox and to find text within the items of the list. With the BeginUpdate and EndUpdate methods, you can add a large number of items to the ComboBox without the control being repainted each time an item is added to the list. The FindString and FindStringExact methods enable you to search for an item in the list that contains a specific search string.

You can use these properties to manage the currently selected item in the list, the Text property to specify the string displayed in the editing field, the SelectedIndex property to get or set the current item, and the SelectedItem property to get or set a reference to the object.

Note

If you have a ListBox, ComboBox, or CheckedListBox on a base Windows Forms page and want to modify the string collections of those controls in a derived form, the string collections of those controls in the base form must be empty. If the string collections are not empty, they become read-only when you derive another form.
