Is there a way to add a list of items from an enum to a ListBox, and
be able to reference them by their 'id'?

I have this:

public enum Chemistry
       {
           Lipo = 1,
           NiMH = 2,
           NiCl = 3,
           Pb = 4
       }

So is there anyway to do something LIKE:

foreach (item i in Chemistry)
{
 ListBox.Items.add ( i );
}

Found a 'sort of' example. Trying this, but it's breaking. However, I
think it's on the right track...

           foreach (string myType in
Common.Globals.Chemistry.GetNames(typeof(string)))
               cmbChemistry.Items.Add(myType);

Sorted!!
Sorry, the answer, for those who may want to know, is:

           foreach (string myType in
Enum.GetNames(typeof(Common.Globals.Chemistry)))
               cmbChemistry.Items.Add(myType);
