Another Non-Video Related VB Question

[smearbrick1]

I have a combo with several items. With the selection of each individual item, a different action would be performed. Is there a way to code this simply rather than using 19 separate IF/THEN statements?

Currently it would look something like this:

If cboComboBox.Text = X Then
A=B

This is just an example. But imagine that about 20 times. It gets a little long.

I haven't coded in VB in a long time (probably since VB3) and have only recently dabbled with C#, so maybe this wont help, but what about a case type statement. Not a lot less work, but probably easier in the long run. Don't know the exact syntax though.

[jimmalenko]

Case syntax would be something like the following (in the cboComboBox_Change() sub) :

Select Case cboComboBox.Text
Case "X"
A=B
Case "Y"
C=D
Case Else
E=F
End Select

... or alternatively run it off the Index property (which IIRC is available in the _change() event).

... or alternatively you *might* be able to use an array.

I had some very heavy 3d rendering sucking the life out of machine last night, so I couldn't look up the syntax - thanks for filling in the gaps.
