Hi,
my program adds entries in a ComboBox. I woud like to avoid to insert the same entry (actually IPAddresses) twice by checking if this entry already exist in the COmbobox before  inserting it. How could Ido this with VB5 ?
Thank you

may this help

Combo1.AddItem "test" Combo1.AddItem "test1" Combo1.AddItem "test2" Dim i As Long, upperI As Long Dim j As Long, upperJ As Long upperI = Combo1.ListCount - 1 For i = 0 To upperI     For j = upperJ To 0 Step -1     If "test" = Combo1.List(i) Then     MsgBox Combo1.List(i) & " already exist "     End If     Next j Next i

Him
thanks
I fixed it with (nbitem2 is the number of entries in the combo box) , works great :


'avoid duplicates in the combo list
testIP = 1
check = 0
Do While testIP <= nbitem2
    
    If Combo1.List(testIP) = hostIP Then
      check = 1
    End If
      testIP = testIP + 1
Loop
    
If check = 0 Then
Combo1.AddItem (hostIP)
nbitem2 = nbitem2 + 1
End If

Thank you anyway!
