Use the integer as the subscript into your array of strings.
(warning. code is untested)
For i as Integer = 0 To szCommand.Length - 1
    cboCommandItems.Add(szCommand(i))
Next

Note the differences. First the loop control restricts the repetitions to 14
(0 - 13) to match the number of strings in your array. Second, strings are
added to the combo box.

Hope this helps.
