I am trying to have a bunch of items listed alphabetically in a combo box but I want the word "All" at the top. So if I have an item named "AA" or something then "All" isn't at the top. How can I keep making "All" be at the top of the Combo Box?

I'm working with VB6. I just put in a combo box and have it listed alphabetically and want the words "All" to always be at the top of the list. I have also have a bunch of items being added to the list.

CODE

appname.Items.Clear()
appname.Sorted = True
appname.Items.Add("All")
appname.Items.Add(My.Settings.App1)
appname.Items.Add(My.Settings.App2)
.....

hey this code belongs to vb.net not in vb6
ok
even though it is a logical problem
i give some suggestion to solve your problem

first add the item all then
pick the remaining item in an array and sort it
now add the items to the listbox in a sequence manner

Sorry, haven't used VB in a while. I know how to make an array but I just can't seem to think of a way to make it sort everything but the word "All". Can you give me an example?

Many of you people know about MSN CHAT. It’s a pure form of C++ and visual basic. Is this possible to add a webcam and voice chat feature in MSNCHAT? It’s closed now but many people use their chat applet in their own chat servers.
