[vb] Loading Info From Textfile Into A Combo Box

[Snowstorm]

Hey all :)

I need to know how I can make a program load a text file with a list of words into a Combo box.

For example in the text file, it has

One

Two

Three

Then after I started the program, One, Two, and Three would be in the combo box.

Thanks. :ninja:

Here:

Open "C:\Textfile.txt" For Input As #1
    Do While EOF(1) = False
        Line Input #1, sInput
        Combo1.AddItem sInput
    Loop
Close #1

Don't forget:

Dim sInput As String

My textfile looked like this:

One

Two

Three

Ooohh, cool, thanks! :)

But one last thing, I've have a command button, and a text box, now when you type say, Four into it, it adds Four to the textfile under Three. :wacko:

Open "C:\Textfile.txt" For Append As #1
    Print #1, Text1.Text
Close #1

That's because it's just tagging it on the end of the file. Unless you can write a piece of code to sort the words into ascending order (not alphabetical order) the best bet would be to use numbers in the file instead of words - then I believe you can get the combo box to auto-sort the items.

yup, just set the sorted property to true.
