Use a custom Form instead with .ShowDialog() method. You may have to somehow override the DialogResult Enumeration though I'd think just passing back whatever you need may be simpler.

Update: If the combobox provides integer values, you could do something like this if you set DialogResult to that integer in your custom form. FYI ShowMsg is my overloaded function that will display my custom form based on the arguments sent.

Dim Result As DialogResult = _
    ShowMsg("Select from the combobox", "Select an integer", ShowMsgButtons.OK, ShowMsgImage.Exclmation, ShowMsgDefaultButton.Button1)
Select Case Result
    Case 10
        'what happens when they select 10 from the combobox
    Case 20
        'what happens when they select 20 from the combobox
    Case 30
        'what happens when they select 30 from the combobox
End Select
