Retrieving the currently selected item from a combo box list

To retrieve the currently selected item from a combo box use the Index property. For example:

 CurSelectedItem = .comboControl1.Index

To retrieve the string associated with the index value the GetString() method is used, for example:

 CurSelectedItem$ = .comboControl1.GetString$(.comboControl1.Index)
