comboBox invisible items?

[skaryChinezeGuie]

i have put 5 weapons in the combobox and when the form loads i want the items to be invisible unless they have been purchased. I will handle the purchase stuff i just need to know how to make them invisible. I was also thinking about just adding the items to the comboBox at the time of purchase. Whatever you think is easier. Whoever "you" is. Thanks.

make 'em invisible doesn't make much sense my Chinese friend. Either you disable certain Combo or add items at the time of purchase. Or you can even add the items and hide the combo than just unhide it. However, try anything but making the items invisible

ok here's what i'm thinkin. Show a messagebox with the string "Do you wanna purchase a knife?" and a yes and no button. If the yes button is clicked then (generic calculation and check for suff. funds), and add string "Knife" to combobox items.

don't worry about the (calculations).
