From Combo Boxes to Group Box

[marie]

Hi!!

Im new in here... and i really really hope you can help me with this. :D

I have 8 Combo Boxes and i want, as i select an item on each, that the content selected will be copied into a GroupBox (that's inside a Panel)

How do i do that?

Please let me know!

thanks,

[kjordan2001]

What language?

But just set up an action listener so when something is selected in the combo box, it's added to the group box.

Can anyone please help me with this?

Im really stuck! :huh:

[KayMan2K]

You may be new to Neowin (welcome) but you also appear to have very little knowledge of C#, as this is a basic task.

What you want to do is double click on any of the 8 combo boxes and write a single line of code to copy the current text of that control to the groupbox ( something like... Destination.Add((sender as ComboBox).Text); ). It doesn't matter whatsoever that the groupbox is hosted within another control. Then simply hookup the Click event of the other 7 combo boxes to the same function.

Done.
