Need help with eVB

Hi. I'm developing a app that converts units (like cm to in.) with eVB, but I'm having problems with combobox.

I want users to select to select units in the combobox, and that makes it change the variable of the multiplier according to the selected combobox's value.

Something that goes like:

If combobox1value = "cm" and combobox2value = "in" Then
multiplier = 2.54
End If

The problem is that I can't get to have the combobox value into a variable.


So far, I've written a little more than


Private Sub Form_Load()
Combo1.AddItem "cm"
Combo1.AddItem "m"
Combo1.AddItem "km"
Combo1.AddItem "sq. cm"
Combo1.AddItem "sq. m"
Combo1.AddItem "hectares"
Combo1.AddItem "cubic m"
Combo1.AddItem "L"
Combo1.AddItem "Newton m"
End Sub

When I wrote my little program, I just used the index of the option. I'm not sure if you can just get the value, but the index always worked for me.

ahh... I see thanks a lot!

I tested with a simple program

Private Sub Command1_Click()
If Combo1.ListIndex = "1" Then
MsgBox "YES"
End If
End Sub

and it worked okay.
