combobox to button

Aug 20 2008 9:43 AM
 Hello, I could use some help with a combobox to simple button

The code below generates a combo_box that selects a channel, a check box to select hi/low, and a button to execute. What I've been trying to do for tha last 20 hours is make all of this one button. Instead of the checkbox, I'd like the output to go hi on buttondown and low on buttonup. I'd like to remove the combo box and just "hard wire" the first address (Dev1/Port0/line0)  to button1. Can anyone help with the syntax? I don't know how this line "physicalChannelComboBox.Items.AddRange(DaqSystem.Local.GetPhysicalChannels(PhysicalChannelTypes.DOLine, PhysicalChannelAccess.External));" brings in the info "Dev1/Port0/line0" .

thanks
