I'm having great difficulty trying to find how to simply get the text of one specific item in a ComboBox.

I have cmbSelectedHinge as a dropdownlist style. All I need is to know what the text is in position 0. I would have thought simply:

MsgBox(cmbSelectHinge.Items.IndexOf(0))

but no. It returns "-1" even though there is a line of text in it. It seems this question has never before been asked on the internet, and there's no useful information on MSDN.

Any help, please

I realize this is an old post but saw this while searching for something else. Thought i'd thorw in an answer in case anyone else comes across it and needs it

MsgBox(cmbSelectHinge.Items(0).ToString)

Would give you the value in the very first position of the combobox

MsgBox(cmbSelectHinge.Items(1).ToString)

Would give you the value in the 2nd position
