[Netron-graphlib] reading combo box string

[Fernando, I. <i.f...@au...>]

Hi all,

Firstly, I have been playing around with netron for a while now and im
loving it! And further more, the code is neat and clean, online
documentation is accurate.

I decided that the best way to learn more was to contribute back into
the effort and so I decided to extend the provided special shape
ComboContolShape.


It seems that I have a very trivial question ... its almost embarrassing
to ask, but its something which as me stumped.

To the ComboControlShape I added an option in the context menu to 'get'
the selected text in the combo box.

The context menu was modified by:

public override MenuItem[] ShapeMenu()
{
	MenuItem[] subitems =3D new MenuItem[]{new MenuItem("Launch
Editor",new EventHandler(TheHandler))};
	MenuItem[] items =3D new MenuItem[]{new MenuItem("Special
menu",subitems)};
	return items;
}

TheHandler method is as follows:

private void TheHandler(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
	string m_strFile;
	m_strFile =3D this.combo.SelectedIndex.ToString();
	MessageBox.Show("This is:" + m_strFile + ":what we got");
}

The above code works fine. As expected the message box pops up with the
correct value of the selected index.
So far fine.

But I am after the actual string and not the index.=20
Normally when reading the string of the selected item in a combo box in
a windows form I do as follows:=20

comboBox.SelectedItem.ToString();


I cannot find a similar method in the NComboBox control :(
I tried different methods to try and obtain the actual string, but to no
avail.=20

Should I be doing something differently? Where have I gone wrong?

Thanks in advance for any help
cheers
