Combobox and Textbox with If Statement

I'm trying to have the textbox display a message when an item is selected on the combobox. However, nothing is happening. I tried SelectedItem and SelectedText and I get nothing in my text box, I even tried to hide one of the labels, again...nothing.

Here is the Code:

        // comboBox1
        // 
        this->comboBox1->FormattingEnabled = true;
        this->comboBox1->Location = System::Drawing::Point(41, 39);
        this->comboBox1->Name = L"comboBox1";
        this->comboBox1->Size = System::Drawing::Size(121, 21);
        this->comboBox1->TabIndex = 7;
        this->comboBox1->Items->Add("300");
        this->comboBox1->Items->Add("1200");
        this->comboBox1->Items->Add("2400");
        this->comboBox1->Items->Add("9600");
        this->comboBox1->Items->Add("14400");
        this->comboBox1->Items->Add("19.2K");
        this->comboBox1->Items->Add("57.6K");
        this->comboBox1->Items->Add("115.2K");


private: System::Void comboBox1_SelectedIndexChanged(System::Object^  sender, System::EventArgs^  e) {
             if(comboBox1->SelectedItem->ToString() == "300") 
             {
                 textBox1->Text= "Hello World?";
                 label1->Hide();
             }
         }

Try SelectedItem->Text. That's how you get the selected text for a ComboBox.

UPDATE: I googled a bit for you, and found this -- hope it helps!
