Designing an Outlook Form with ComboBox

[Guest]

Dear all,

I'm trying to design a form with Outlook but I have just found a problem:
I want to use two ComboBoxes in this way: I want the list of options of the
second ComboBox to depend on the option I have previously clicked in the
first ComboBox. I.e. the first combobox has always the same list of values,
but the list of options of the second one may change depending on the value
of the first combobox.
For example, imagine two comboboxes: the first one shows Continents and the
second one shows Countries. If I choose "America" in the first combobox, the
second ComboBox shows "USA", "CANADA", ... , but if I choose "Europe", the
second ComboBox shows "France", "Spain", "Great Britain", ...
I think this programming cannot be very difficult, ... but I think I'm
getting crazy

Can you help me?

Regards

You would use either the combo box's Click event or the PropertyChange/CustomPropertyChange event, depending on whether the combo box is bound to an Outlook property. See:
