programmatically update currently selected combo box item???

ok sorry. but now i have one more issue. how do i pass the control from the event structure to a case statement in the same loop??? see example.

Its simple.Take event on that control as well.

Place case structure inside it. Do not forget to connect Shift register from left tunnel to right In that event case.

hmm. ok. the reason i asked is that i already have an existing program with several case statements inside a while loop, and then i was going to add this. but yes, you're right, this is probably the approach i should follow.
