 Posted: Oct 12th, 2004 03:18 PM Post subject: Adding backwards to a combo box.. |
 |
|
Okay I know there are a couple of ways to accomplish this task, but I was wondering if there was a simple API call that could be made to add items to a standard combo box where instead of appending to the end of the list it appends to the top (for use as a history combo box).
I know I could do it with databases as a link, and I could do it using a predetermined number with an index and then just shift things manually, but if there is an API call I'd appreciate any help anyone out there could give me.
Thanks

Without the API you'd have to adjust index values to re-arrange the list. I'm not sure at the moment (and to tell you the truth, a little tired from work to try this out), but it should be fairly easy. Again, I'd have to code something up to test out my theory.

Actually, it's quite simple if I understand correctly... Add to the top?
[vb:1:d73f6e071f]Private Sub Command1_Click()
Static i As Integer
i = i + 1
List1.AddItem i, 0
End Sub[/vb:1:d73f6e071f]
