ComboBox.AddItem Method

Outlook Forms Script Reference

For a single-column ComboBox, the AddItem method adds an item to the list. For a multicolumn ComboBox, this method adds a row to the list.

Syntax

expression.AddItem(pvargItem, pvargIndex)

expression   A variable that represents a ComboBox object.

Parameters

Name Required/Optional Data Type Description
pvargItem Optional Variant Specifies the item or row to add. The number of the first item or row is 0; the number of the second item or row is 1, and so on.
pvargIndex Optional Variant Integer specifying the position within the object where the new item or row is placed.

Remarks

If you supply a valid value for

varIndex

, the AddItem method places the item or row at that position within the list. If you omit

varIndex

, the method adds the item or row at the end of the list.

The value of

varIndex

must not be greater than the value of the ListCount property.

For a multicolumn ComboBox, AddItem inserts an entire row, that is, it inserts an item for each column of the control. To assign values to an item beyond the first column, use the List or Column property and specify the row and column of the item.

If the control is bound to data, the AddItem method fails.

You can add more than one row at a time to a ComboBox by using List.
