Hi Everyone! I wish someone can help me shed some light on this problem. I am using Visual Basic Express Edition only. I want to know how to code an event when combobox dropdown item is highlight.

Example: from the dropdown list, the items are red, orange and blue. When the cursor is hovered above the item "orange", I want label1.text to equal the value of the highlighted item.

Thanks much everyone!

Solution 1

You'd have to write you own version of a ComboBox to do this. There is no such event for the mouse hovering over an item in the list.
