 [form.]{combobox. | listbox. | textbox.}Text[ = stringexpression$]
 
 Usage Notes
   ■ A text box can contain up to 32K of text.
 
   ■ The value returned from a list box is always equivalent to the value
     returned by the expression:
 
         List(ctlname.ListIndex)
 
     See: ◄List Property►  ◄ListIndex Property►
 
   ■ The Text property can be used to manipulate the string contained in the
     edit area of combo box controls with Style = 0 (Dropdown Combo) or Style
     = 1 (Simple Combo).
 
   ■ Use the Text property to determine the currenlty selected item in the
     list for combo box controls with Style = 2 (Dropdown List). The text
     property is read-only at run time for a combo box when Style = 2.
