[form.]{listbox | combobox}.ADDITEM item$ [, index%]
Usage Notes
■ If index% is omitted, item$ is added to the proper sorted position if
the Sorted property is True (-1), or to the end of the list if the
Sorted property is set to False (0). See: ◄Sorted Property►
■ Since the Sorted property does not distinguish between uppercase and
lowercase, you may need to write your own sort routine for a case-
sensitive ADDITEM implementation. Use caution when specifying index%
with ADDITEM when the Sorted property is set to True (-1). If index%
adds an element to a specific location that violates the sort order,
subsequent additions may not be properly sorted.
■ Use the List, ListCount, and ListIndex properties to access items
displayed in the list box at run time.
See: ◄List Property► ◄ListCount Property► ◄ListIndex Property►
■ ListIndex is set to -1 (no item selected) immediately after an ADDITEM
operation.
■ Use the List property rather than the ADDITEM method to replace an item
in a list box or combo box:
Combo1.List(1) = "Students"
