Hello,

Can someone please tell me how I would create a clone or a copy of an existing ComboBox object?

I thought perhaps:

ComboBox newBox;

newBox = (ICloneable)((Object)existingBox).Clone();

but I was mistaken.

Thank you :)

Why not just do this?:

            for (int i = 0; i < existingBox.Items.Count; i++)
            {
                newBox.Items.Add(existingBox.Items[i]);
            }

Hi Termana,

Thanks for your response. I didn't do that because the I wanted the comboBoxes to have the same font, databindings, event handlers, and code attached to the previous ones. Obviously I could've just created my own cloneComboBox method, but I restructured my UI a little bit so I don't need it any more. Thanks though.
