How to get text from a Selected Index c#

Question

Once the country has been located by the search show the integer and the names of the two countries immediately before that country on the list. I know how to get the index value of the selected country, but i don't know how to get the text that it is highlighting.

e.g Australia has an index of 10. I can get the index value using:

int f = lbxcombo.SelectedIndex;

where f is the index value. But I can't get the text that the index represents (Australia).

Answer 1

lbxcombo.Items[index] will return the text at the index

in your case use

int f = lbxcombo.SelectedIndex;

string text=lbxcombo.Items[f].ToString()

to get australia

Answer 2

Use GetItemText and SelectedItem:

string foo = lbxcombo.GetItemText(lbxcombo.SelectedItem);

Or use the Text property:

string foo = lbxcombo.Text;

Answer 3

You can use:

String country = lbxcombo.SelectedItem.Text;

OR

Items[lbxcombo.SelectedIndex].Text

Answer 4

I'm pretty sure that you only need to use the text property for this :-

string Foo = lbxcombo.text;
