VisualStudio basic question...

[P.]

Hola.

Creating a drop down box, very basic premise...

I want a user to select an option from the drop down box, which points to a batch file.

They then click the big connect button to connect, which runs said batch file.

Now, ideally i'd like the content of the drop down to come from a CSV as it may change from time to time, which means its going to have to pick up the path of that database too.

Does anyone know of a nice/dirty way to do this quickly. I need it in a decent layout, attached what I'm trying to achieve..

I would have a combo box with 2 values, one being the display text and the other (hidden) is the file path to the new database object which you keep in a separate table/CSV. so that table would be: -

Option : file path
1 : file path 1
2 : file path 2
3 : file path 3

Then have a function on the click event of the button which is based on the selection made in the combobox which says run [combobox].value in the variable of the statement.

I would teach the user to open windows file explorer, go to the location of the batch files, then double click on the one they want to run.

Alternatively I'd use this.

Indeed, being quite vague as its related to something I'm doing at work which relates to personal details. Not really a fan of exposing what I do

Unsure if it works here as this machine cannot download or extract files, I'll have to jump on a dev machine.

I'll give it a whirl and holla

I'd do it in access/excel, the reason being everyone that I've worked with that's wanted something like this is familiar and comfortable with excel.
