Private Sub Button_Click() Handles Buttonnamegoeshere.Click
      Select Case ComboBox.Text
      Case Is value1
            System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("C:program.exe")
      Case Is value2
            Form2.Show
      End Select
End Sub

Rinse and repeat until you have a Case Is check for each item in your list, and an action for each. The System.Diagnostics bit will run a program.

ty for this rep 2

[Anthonyrox8]

uh still need help im learning and i keep getting errors the ones in red are the errors

Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.RoutedEventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
          Select Case ComboBox1
                  Case Is value1
                              Window2.show()
                  Case Is value2

              End Select
        End Sub
End Class

[The Maffyx]

I'm guessing Window2 is a new form, if it is you have to declare it, so before Select Case, do

Dim Window2 as new Window2

[Anthonyrox8]

Ok i did that but i still get errors on

Public Class Form2

    Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.RoutedEventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
        Dim Form1 As New Form1
        Select Case ComboBox1
                    Case Is Value1

                             Form1.show()


        End Select
    End Sub
End Class

[The Maffyx]

Value1 has to be declared somewhere, so maybe a global variable, or if you have a case in a listbox, the name of the text would be the case. so
Case "item"
<put action code here>
Case "item2"
<put action code here>
etc.

[Anthonyrox8]

uh sorry how do i declare value1 im new to Vb

[The Maffyx]

I'm guessing you're using strings, so if you have value one, matching up with the first combo box item, I would say.

Dim value1 As String = ComboBox1.Items.IndexOf(0)
then just increase the values so the next item would be
Dim value2 As String = ComboBox1.Items.IndexOf(1)
and so on.

[The Maffyx]

nvm try this

 Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click

        Dim Form1 As New Form1

        Select Case ComboBox1.SelectedItem
            Case ComboBox1.Items.IndexOf(0)
                Form1.Show()




        End Select
    End Sub

[Anthonyrox8]

cool ill try that but i gtg now +rep 2 ill be back like in 4 days going on a mini holiday cya

[Anthonyrox8]

uh i tried it and got this Conversion from string "Shutdown" to type 'Double' is not valid.

[The Maffyx]

Hmm, thanks for the rep, as well as I didn't have any errors with that code.

[Anthonyrox8]

no it has no errors on it
its only when u run the program and press the start button

[The Maffyx]

Ah I see now I was making it too complicated. Try this:
Instead of text, text2, fill in what you have for your combobox options

        Dim Form1 As New Form1

        Select Case ComboBox1.SelectedItem
            Case "text"
                Form1.Show()
            Case "text2"
                MessageBox.Show("asdf")




        End Select
