Use the ComboBox control and add several values through the properties window in the Item part which allows you to add in the form of a collection. The question I have is how can I do so that when I start the application, the first option of the ComboBox is the first value that is added in the collection.
Public Class Form1
Private Sub Button1_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Text = TextBox1.Text & " - " & ComboBox1.Text
End Sub
End Class
I'll follow the following:
Place the property DropDownStyle from the combobox as DropDownList is to do the following
miComboBox.DropDownStyle = ComboBoxStyle.DropDownList
miComboBox.SelectedIndex = 0
with the two lines above (in order of appearance) you indicate to the combobox that (say) you restrict the values in item and that you set the first element as selected (with -1 -less one- you indicate none).
I consider Roberto León Oramas's answer quite adequate, but in the face of the concern of Comrade Popplar of "and where I place the code".
It may be in the Load Event of the Form you are working on.
