vb6 combo box
hi all,
in vb6 is there a way i can find what the original selected index was on the combobox click event?
why i ask?
say we have on form_load 3rd index item selected.
we then select nth item in the combobox.
I need to compared the index of the nth item with that original selected during the click event fired.
I do not want use global or page variables to store the index to get the index.
Thanks in advance for the help

i think you can use some code like that as event "onClick" for the combobox , but note that thereis a for example textbox named "dAta" and it's index is "0" and another textbox named "dAtacnt" and it's value is "0" and your combobox is named as "cOmbo" , this method and code is very very basic one for demonstartion only , you can use variables as Mr.Phil said before ...
dAtacnt.text = dAtacnt.text + 1
load dAta (dAtacnt.text)
dAta(dAtacnt.text).text = cOmbo.text
and now to get the values of your 'before' selected items in control "cOmbo" you can use e.g. :-
' This will MsgBox the first selected item in "cOmbo"
MsgBox dAta(1).text
and so on
hope that helped you ,,

mhadamji,store the current index in the Tag property of the ComboBox,in the click event.Now when you select another item - & before the code which stores the current index in the Tag property is executed in the click event - compare the current index to the previous one as stored in Tag.Simple,isn't?
