listbox displaymember & valuememberI want to populate a listbox with States but use abbreviations when someone
selects a state. For instance if I have California Arizona Nevada in the listbox, when the user clicks on "California", I would like to return the value "CA". I did look at the properties Displaymember and Valuemember but they look like they need to come from a datasource. How can I accomplish this task? Thanks Yes, your datasource must have at least two values, one to be displayed
and one to be the value.

I need to do in code to accomplish this with the few values that I have. Do I need to put the values into a table or can I do something like listbox1.items.add "California" listbox1.items.add "Nevada" etc.... and if I can do this in code, how can I return "CA" when "California" is clicked?
