    Combo Boxes

    I would like to make a combobox with four choices. On choosing one choice item it will call an *.exe file and install the item.

    Is this possible.

    Yes it is possible. There are a lot of examples in this forum and then on the Examples forum on how you might accomplish this task.

    Here is one way to do what you are asking.

    Another way that I would probably use would be to store the text of the program as the text portion of the ComboBox and the path to the program as the Data portion of the ComboBox. Then when you select the program you want it executes a file.run on the data portion of the CB.
