Comments

The Text property defines the edit control portion's text contents.

The Text property contains the text contents in the edit control portion of a simple or drop down combo box. The text can be replaced by assigning a new text value to the Text property.

In a drop down list combo box, the Text property contains the text of the currently selected item (its first displayed column). In this case the property cannot be updated.

The Edit.SelText property defines the currently selected text of the edit control portion.
