I'm having great difficulty trying to find how to simply get the text of one specific item in a ComboBox.

I have cmbSelectedHinge as a dropdownlist style. All I need is to know what the text is in position 0. I would have thought simply:

MsgBox(cmbSelectHinge.Items.IndexOf(0))

but no. It returns "-1" even though there is a line of text in it. It seems this question has never before been asked on the internet, and there's no useful information on MSDN.

Any help, please
