You define what gets displayed in the ComboBox by defining either a "labelField" or a "labelFunction".
When a user selects an item in the list, you can access any property of the item object through the "selectedItem" property. Post back if you need any more specific help.

In my combo box I want to display the user's names, but use the ID as data field (so if some selects a user's name and saves the form, the ID is inserted into the database). What I want to do is when a user selects a record from a datagrid, this populates a details form, and the user name is selected in the combo box of names, by the userID, but displaying the user's name. I want to use this method of passing in an ID to a combo box and the combo box displaying the correct name/value for that ID. One problem I am having is setting the ID as a data field and displaying the name as a label. Can anyone suggest how I could do this? Thanks Stephen
