Combobox Item Collection - working with a selection change

[Jefferson]

Hi,

I am trying to disable textbox's on the change of the items in a combobox,
I have tried using the
combobox_selectionchangecommited()
combobox_selectedvaluechanged()
combobox_selectedIndexChanged()
and finally with the code attached
Private Sub cboBoxEmploymentStatus_Click
If cboBoxEmploymentStatus.Items Is "Permanent" Then
txtHourlyTCC.Enabled = False
ElseIf cboBoxEmploymentStatus.Items Is "Temporary" Then
txtMonthlyTCC.Enabled = False
ElseIf cboBoxEmploymentStatus.Items Is "Contractor" Then
txtMonthlyTCC.Enabled = False
txtHourlyTCC.Enabled = False
ElseIf cboBoxEmploymentStatus.Items Is "Learner" Then
txtMonthlyTCC.Enabled = False
End If
End Sub

But none of these seem to be working...
What event do i need to use???

Thanks for the help, awesome site???

This works great for me. Make sure you are using SelectedItem or Text to retrieve the text in the ComboBox

combobox selecteditem - Resolved

Hi,

Thanks for that, Seems that i was entering the text incorrectly - did not realize that it was case sensitive.

Enjoy your day.
