hi, i was able to find the value of that particular combo box using the following lines of code.
here KeyStringCal is my own array with the keys of the combo boxes i want to take.
because "Value" property is valid for combo box, text box whether "text" property is valid for calender or dateselector i suppose.
set Toolbars = SwfWindow("").SwfToolbar("").Object.ToolbarsManager.Tools
For x = 0 to (Toolbars.count) -1
For y = 0 to arraycount
If Toolbars.GetItem(x).Key = KeyStringCal(y) Then
PutValues(y) = Toolbars.GetItem(x).value
End if
Next
Next
