Open an Attribute Table/Database Table Using a Combo Box From ArcMap

Question

I'm new to using the Add-in Controls and Visual Studio.  I am trying to create an application toolbar with a combo box that will open tables.  Of the 4 items, 3 are tables and one is a point feature class, all sourced from an SDE db.  The three tables all have long names and require an alias for simplicity.  I'm having zero luck even getting a combo box populated with the correct tables much less getting them to open.  Can anyone offer some insight?  Thanks for all the help

I'm pretty new at coding, can you please elaborate on your post.  Thus far, my combo box has the names of the 4 tables displaying when it is clicked and dropped down.  How do I go about making the attribute tables open in a separate window from this point?  Thanks again for all the help and I apologize for my lack of knowledge and understanding.  Cheers.

In your combo box select changed, based on the int parameter, open a featureclass or table.

examples abound in the online help:

I am now able to get the combo box to populate with names that will not change with the following code:
    Public Sub New()
        Add("TABLE1")
        Add("TABLE2")
        Add("TABLE3")
        Add("TABLE4")
    End Sub
using VB.net

Now I need help on tying my actual tables to the names I have established in the Add context.  3 are tables in the sde db and 1 is a feature class.

I have looked into ITable, but I do not know how to declare the actual tables as the names established in the combobox.  Do i need to establish workspace first?  Thanks!
