Quick And Dirty Option Lists using Enums

You might have a form that sets some options, and you need a quick and easy way to get the value from the option selected or determine what was selected.
 
Well this is achievable using Enum(erators):
 
Take this example;

Private Enum ListOfChoices
    Yes
    No
    Possibly
    Never
    Pass
End Enum

It is possible to quickly and easily dump this list into a dropdown list combo box, and then quickly pull the value the user selected.
 

Private Sub MainForm_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
    'Populate a combo box with the enum options
    ComboBox1.Items.AddRange([Enum].GetNames(GetType(ListOfChoices)))
End Sub
 
Private Sub ComboBox1_SelectedValueChanged(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles ComboBox1.SelectedValueChanged
    'Retrieve the Enum Text Name from the Index selected
    MsgBox("You Selected: " & [Enum].GetName(GetType(ListOfChoices), ComboBox1.SelectedIndex))
End Sub

You could have just read the combobox selected value, but the point was demonstrating get a Enum String from the Enum value.
 
Both the Enum and the Combobox have 0 based index values for the item lists, so it is easy to work them together. This is just as applicable to list boxes, etc.
 
Cheap and easy. :)
