I cannot get the combo box list.

[RunbeckDave]

Describe the bug
Tried comboBox.Select
Extensions SelectItem - Using the Patter IExpandCollapsePattern
Extension ChooseItem - This worked fabulously before I was laid off last Xmas. Now I have been rehired, but the combo box on an old vb form is no longer working.

Code snippets
//loginForm.LoginTo.Select(loginInformation.LoginTo);
//loginForm.LoginTo.SelectItem(loginInformation.LoginTo)
loginForm.LoginTo.ChooseItem(loginInformation.LoginTo);
loginForm.LoginButton.Invoke();

    public static void SelectItem(this ComboBox comboBox, string selection)
    {
        IExpandCollapsePattern pattern = comboBox.Patterns.ExpandCollapse.Pattern;
        pattern.Expand();
        comboBox.Select(selection);
    }

public static void ChooseItem(this ComboBox comboBox, string selection)
{
comboBox.Focus();
ComboBoxItem[] comboBoxItems = comboBox.Items;
foreach (ComboBoxItem item in comboBoxItems)
{
if (item.Text == selection)
{
if (comboBox.ExpandCollapseState != ExpandCollapseState.Expanded) comboBox.Expand();
item.Select();
if (comboBox.ExpandCollapseState == ExpandCollapseState.Expanded) comboBox.Collapse();
return;
}
}
}

Try selecting using Id
Don't use '==' when comparing strings, use string.Equals()

Are there any items in comboBoxItems? Did you maybe switch from UIA2 to UIA3 or the other way?
