Knew how to do it the old way, but ...

[Ed Staffin]

In vb6, I could load a listbox/combobox with strings and
values using the list and itemdata properties. WHen I
wanted to set the selected item to a value I looked
through the itemdata to find a match.

In vb7, I can't quite seem to figure it out. I can set the
datasource to a datatable, set the display member, set the
value member and have everything display properly.
However, once I have loaded the listbox/combobox with the
data, I can't figure out how to set the selectedIndex
property based on a value I have. I tried looking at the
items collection, but near as I can tell, that thing is
useless. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks ... Ed

The direct replacement is using custom objects to store additional data:
