UltraToolbarsManager

I've defined a Combobox tool and placed it on my menu via the designer. Now I would like to add items to it programatically. However, I cant figure out the command set to do so. I thought it would be something like UltraToolbarsManager1.Tools(5).ValueList.Add("FedEx") but nothing like it comes up in Intellisense. (I've searched through the message forum, and come up with a message about this, but it discusses creating a new ComboBox progrmatically from scratch and then adding items to it. I'm talking about adding items when the Combobox has already been defined via the designer. It just doesn't have the items I need at any given moment.) Thanks for any assistance.

You can use code similar to this to cast one of the tools to a ComboBoxTool and add items to it:

Dim comboBox As Infragistics.Win.UltraWinToolbars.ComboBoxTool

' Cast the tool to a ComboBoxTool
comboBox = CType(Me.UltraToolbarsManager1.Tools(0), Infragistics.Win.UltraWinToolbars.ComboBoxTool)

' Add items to the tool
comboBox.ValueList.ValueListItems.Add("1")
comboBox.ValueList.ValueListItems.Add("2")
comboBox.ValueList.ValueListItems.Add("3")

Thanks for your response.

Could you be a bit more expressive about how one goes about to "cast the tool returned from the tools collection to type ComboBoxTool" with a code snippet.

You must first cast the tool returned from the tools collection to type ComboBoxTool. Then you can add items to its ValueList.ValueListItems.
