That's because the ComboBox's List property returns a copy of what's in it,
so modifying the array has no effect. You have to actually *set* the  
property
to an array in order to change the contents.

Therefore, this :

   cbxProfile.Clear()
   cbxProfile.Add(MGlobal.DEFAULTSTR)
   cbxProfile.List.Insert(MGlobal.Profiles)

... becomes this :

   cbxProfile.List = [MGlobal.DEFAULTSTR].Insert(MGlobal.Profiles)

And there it works. :)

I agree that you can't really guess it, so I added it in the  
documentation[0].
