ComboBox Doesn't Show Items

Question

All of my efforts to add items to display in the combobox fail; I've added items using the IDE in VS2003 (String Collection Editor) or programtically and all I get is an empty drop down list that gets longer. The project compiles and I get no errors but my application only shows an empty drop down list. Can someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong?

The fact that your list appears to expand in size sounds like the list items are being added. Set a break-point in your code and confirm in the debugger that the values truley are stored in the comboBox. If the values are there make sure that your foreground font color is not set to white or that the comboBox background color and the font are not the same color. I the values are not there can you supply some code that shows what your doing to add the valuse and the comboBox properties?
