Solved: Variable Bound Columns in a Combo/List box?

[mud2]

When you click on a row in a combo/list box, the data in the first row is (by default) the data "Returned".

This can be changed during design time, but, naturally

I want to choose the bound column during run time.

Or, perhaps to choose data in several columns...to use in subsequent operations.

Any Suggestions?

"Almost" Solved

Define Col as integer in General...a Global Value

In Form Load, Col = 1

In a Command, option, or whatever button,

Col = Col + 1
If Col > (number of columns in combo box) Then col = 1
Combox.BoundColumn = Col
.
.
.

When the form loads the combo box opens with the bound column at column 1. When the command/option or whatever is clicked, mouse-downed...
the combo box when NEXT clicked will return the data in Column2...etc.

You can have a text box display the bound column number, or the data returned by the box.

But it seems very "Hacky"!

Normally you would use the Column property to return data from other columns (ie the following code gives you the data from column 3 of the combo box).


strCustomer = me.cboTest.Column(2)


Is there any reason this method won't work for you?
