C# Combobox Selection.

Question

I am populating a combobox dropdown with node fields from an Xml document. I have that working. Now I have the text in the dropdown menu of the combobox. I want to be able to press a 'Go' button and use the selected text. What are the commands please?

Answer 1

Have a look at the SelectedText property of ComboBox. It will return a string containing the currently selected text (ie. the text of the currently selected item) of the combo box.

To handle this from a button press, add an OnClick event handler to the button, and in this event handler get the SelectedText and do what you need with it.
