Remarks

Applies To: ComboBox Control | ListBox Control

Use the List property to retrieve items in the order they are displayed; use the ListItem property to retrieve items according to their item ID.

Note

To add items to a combo box or list box, use the AddItem or AddListItem method. To remove items, use the RemovetItem method or the RemoveListItem method. To keep items in alphabetic order, set the control's Sorted property to True (.T.) before adding items to the list.
