Good you to see your efforts, But how come before giving you programming lesson they assign you a project.

Nevertheless, As per my understanding you want to show everything in rich-text box whatever user clicks in the dropdown item in the combobox.

C#

RichTextBox1.Text += "Your DropDownItem ";

It would be good if you show us your code :)

More precise.

C#

private void comboBox1_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
 {
     richTextBox1.Text += comboBox1.SelectedItem.ToString();
 }
