hi there,
i am adding a checkboxes to a visual basic application.
currently im using the .additem("somestring") method, but i was wondering if there is a way to add a
value and a number. (like in web programming) ie if the checkbox box is populated by a database can it
have the an index value (thats not displayed) that is the id in the database and the actual display
value as the string which the ID corresponds to.
Example:
the databse contains
ID Town
1 Sydney
2 Canberra
I want to show the words Sydney and Canberra, but when i retrieve what value was selected im only interested in the ID, ie 1 and 2. I take it it would act something similar to the itemdata in combo boxes
Can anyone shed some light on this?
Thanks in advance.
