I have a combobox in VB 2005 that contains a list of two character numbers and letters. I also have a locked textbox that i have set so it can not be changed. I am trying to get the program to show me when A1 is selected in the combo box, the textbox displays an associated name. I am newer to programming so any help would be wonderful!

For OnSelectedIndexChange (or SelectedItemChange)

If the displayed text is you look up key.

Then Combobox1.SelectedItem.ToString();
should give you that. Do your lookup and then set the textBox's Text property to the content.

PS take into account there could be nothing selected in the ComboBox

SelectedIndex < 0
SelectedItem = Nothing.

C# guy, so excuse the VB syntax.
