Hi, I'm trying to populate string and value of a combo box from a txt file (Lista motori) but i don't get any result. Someone can help me please? Where do i make mistakes?

You cannot have duplicate values, so once you fix your datafile, here's all you need:

I think the second column is not a unique id, but rather a property "Limite" associated to the motor.

So he may want to use a ring instead, and create a cluster array from the file, which he can index later to select the motor configuration:

I never (ever!) use comboboxes in my code, so my first idea was to switch to a ring, then I noticed that one of the "values" is not numeric. It is not clear if that was just a column header (language!) and that we can assume that all other values are numeric.

If we want the column headers as captions for the elements, here's what I would do. No FOR loop needed!
