Hey all,
I have a rather strange request, or well... I am requesting something that could possibly have an alternative solution.
I have 3 ComboBoxes all with the same data, and each ComboBox has 3 elements. Suppose, for example, the 3 elements are "APPLES", "ORANGES", "BANANAS".
So what I am seeking to do is to take the Click() event from the ComboBoxes (note that these are in a Control array) and use it so that when one ComboBox needs to change its value, all other ComboBox'es will not contain that same selected text.
If the first combobox's text = APPLES, the second = ORANGES, and the third = BANANAS;
When I manually change the third combobox's text to be APPLES, I want the first combobox's text to change to be whatever option was not selected (in this case it'd be BANANAS)
Does this make sense?
Anyways, I am having difficulty with this algorithm, which is mainly what I am seeking.
Current I know how to detect which combobox needs to change, I just don't know how to get the correct value to change it to:
PS: It's a good idea to know that whenever you programmatically change the ListIndex of a combo, the Click() event is triggered.
I appreciate all the help you can give. :)
Thanks and God Bless!

Code:
Private Sub ComboBoxes_Click(Index As Integer)
Dim idx As Integer
For idx = 0 To 2
If ComboBoxes(idx).ListIndex = ComboBoxes(Index).ListIndex Then 'If there is a combobox that is currently using the newly selected index...
'ComboBoxes(idx).ListIndex = newIndex '<-- What is the value of newIndex?
Exit For
End If
Next
