I use "lresult = SendMessage(cboxhandle, CB_SETCURSEL, Text1.text - 1, 0&)" to set the proper item, how do I actually select it?

What are you trying to do exacly? Is this combo box in your application or is it in another application running on your computer?

I am trying to select an item from a combobox in another application running on the the computer. Using the function that I posted before, I can highlight the correct item, but it does not actually select it. How can I select this item?

I think you have to use another message to actually click on the selected item. Look in MSDN for the BN_CLICK and NM_CLICK messages.

Actually, for combo boxes, look for the CBN_SELCHANGE message.
