I get the error "Method 'Text' of object 'ICommandBarComboBox' failed" when I use CommandBarComboBox.Text.

e.g. ComboControl.Text = ""

I never had this problem with versions prior to 9.80. Is this a known problem? Let me know if you need me to reproduce it in a small app, but I haven't changed anything since it was working in a previous version.

I just tried to reproduce it but with no success. it a small project it works fine.

I never had this error before. Why might method 'Text' of object 'ICommandBarComboBox' fail?

Actually I was able to reproduce it. I discovered it is a problem when using designerbars.

Instead

CommandBars1.DesignerControls.Find

you must use

CommandBars1.FindControl

And DropDownListStyle must be True to set text.

oleg the Designer Bars have been saved with the combobox DropDownStyle set to DropDownList. Using FindControl does retrieve the control but commandbarcombobox.Text = "bye" doesn't have any effect.

Looking at the commandbarcombobox object in Command5_Click() once the FindControl line executes, the .DropDownListStyle property is set to False. This should be set to True because the control in the DesignerBars has been set to DropDownListStyle.

It is correct that commandbarcombobox.Text = "bye" doesn't have any effect.

because it has no editable part.

you must use ListIndex to change text:

commandbarcombobox.ListIndex = 1

commandbarcombobox.ListIndex = commandbarcombobox.FindItem("bye")

I never had to use CommandBars.FindControl to do it before, but it works now.
