I was wondering whether it's possible to change the highlight colour for a combo box without having to create a custom control? Just to try and make what I'm asking clearer, it's not the ForeColour or the BackColour that I'm wanting to change but the colour that's shown by the mouse when you move it over the combo box items.
View 8 Repliesi am new to vb2005 and i am developing a project of a restaurant in vb2005. i have two combo boxes of PRICE and SOFTDRINKS. there are 5 different soft drinks and there are five different prices of the softdrinks in the combo box of PRICE. my requirement is that when i select the soft drink in the combo box of SOFTDRINKS then automatically the price relevant to that soft drink should be selected in the combo box of PRICE.

I have a form that has some combo boxes in it, and a table in SQL Server that stores the Values for the selected item for the combo box.I have read the data out from the combo box and inserted it into the SQL table as a integer. Now I want to read it back in to the form.
View 7 Repliesis there anyway you can colour or highlight certian weeks in a calender control. for example i'd like to display the years calender and highlight all dates of holiday. the dates to be passed in code. just a general 'is this possible?' i know i've seen it on web sites when booking a hotel room the hightlighted days are full or empty, that kind of thing.
View 3 RepliesSo as the name states; I am a newer coder.
This is the code i have:
Public Sub RandomNumbers()
Dim s(4) As String
Dim RandomNumber As Byte
I don't know if you can tell what I am trying to do here, so I will try to explain. I what to create for random numbers and place them into for different text boxes. I also would like to do this with combo boxes and their selected indexes. So if the combo box has 10 items in it; the new selected index would be the random number generated above.
I'm in the middle of creating an application that will be used to input customer information whilst the customer is speaking to someone over the phone. This involves the customer giving the employee information such as name, address, postcode etc and the employee inputting that information into text boxes and combo boxes that are in the application.
What I would like to be able to do is after the customers information is given over the phone, I need to be able to send that information to a database which will probably most likely be done by button click. In this case, I'm using Microsoft Access. I'm also hoping that I can do this within Visual Basic coding.
The database is set out with multiple tables which include a customer table and a ticket table and both have multiple fields such as first name, surname in the customers table. Both of these tables are in use with the information that the customer gives over the phone.
I've already asked on other forums and people are where replying giving me third party programs that I could use to implement this, something I don't really want to do.

View 4 RepliesI am developing a program that makes it easier for users to log on to a website and search for specific data. I have the first portion finished in which I have a form with the Ax Web Browser control.
The web browser control navigates to a local website and automatically logs in for the end user. This is done by using code which automatically fills in the username and password and then submits the form to logon using something similar to this: WebBrowser1.Document.Forms.Item(, 0).elements("txtUsername").value = "user"
Once logged on - there is a search page which contains a combo box and list box. I am trying to set specific values for the combo box and list boxes.For example - the combo box on the website is titled: cbxDate and contains the following values: Today, Yesterday, This Week, This Month.
A list box titled: lstArea contains the following values: Zone A, Zone B, Zone C, All.I am trying to figure out if there is a way through code to select, in this example, "Yesterday" in the cbxDate and "Zone B" in the lstArea on the webpage.If anyone knows of a solution, please feel free to let me know. Be advised that I am using the Ax Web Browser Control.
I am getting an error when i try to populate some combo boxes with a value, the combo box has values in and the right amount the code is getting the right number.
the error msg is "Object reference not set to an instance of an object."
I'm doing a uni assignment regarding changing decimals to binary. However this assingment seems to be different to most of its kind from what I can see.Our assignment asks us to have a text box in which we'll enter the decimal, then we'll use a menuscript to and highlight the button 'dec-to-bin' which will then change the colour of 8 image boxes (located in a row above the text box) from black to red based on whether the binary is '1' (Red) or '0' (Black) for that bit.I've struggling to find a starting point as I need to ensure I link the text boxes to the outcome of the decimal and binary but not sure how.

View 3 RepliesI am trying to create a WPF browser application that allows you to search and display recipes. The combo box presents choices, the Ingredients display in one list box and the "cooking" instructions appear in the other list box. What's happening is the first time you make a selection from the combobox nothing displays, and this could be happening because the first line of code under Selectionchanged clears the List Boxes however, it should be populating those list boxes with content, shouldn't it? Anyway, as you make other selections List boxes 1 & 2 get populated but they do not match what displays in the Combo box, i.e. if you select "Easy Taco Dip" any random recipe might appear in List Boxes 1 & 2.

I was having a heck of a time populating a gridview combo box.I learned a ton in the last 48 hours but would really like to know the answers to the bottom three questions.You guys are the experts, so I'm hoping you will enlighten meBut the summary of it is below:I was never able to get the ComboBox to bind to the data source. I tried everything until I turned blue. So I went to the basics and coded all the automatic stuff. I'm curious as to why the automatic binding didn't work. Perhaps its because my gridview datasource was LINQ.Here is how I pulled it off. I hope someone down the road benefits from the last 48 hours of my delima:First of all, know that I have two drop down lists on my form, one is the GPField and the other is the BankField. These are already populated DDLs that are static. So I used them to cheat on the values instead of using enums.
Sub fillGPFieldListDDL(ByVal obj As Object)
Dim db As New CompanyDataDataContext
Dim myConn As New Connection With {.ConnCls = ConnCls}

i am using a couple bound comboboxes in a bound datagridview. It seems though, when the combo's are changed, and the tableadapter is filled again, the changes are not being saved to the table. Is there a special trick to getting the data in the combo boxes to saved when the values are changed?
View 4 RepliesI have two combo boxes: cboRepairCategory (plumbing, landscaping, etc) and cboVendors. I am using Stored Procedures in SQL to store the data from my database and then load them into the combo boxes.The cboRepairCategory will be loaded first. Once the user has selected what type of repair it is I want it to restrict the amount of vendors that can be selected, so instead of saying:CREATE PROCEDURE dbo.up_Fill_Vendor_Combo
AS
SELECT VendorID, CompanyName
FROM Vendors
[code].....
I would select only the vendors that have the RepairType of say Landscaping, so thecboVendor would load now only Vendors with Landscaping instead of all vendors.My question is this: Is this done in SQL in my Stored Procedure or is it done in VB in my functions for my combo boxes. I've never tried this before I am totally lost on it. I have fiddled with the code on both ends but to no avail.
im trying to learn how to code more efficiently and was wondering how to preload combo boxes better. im working on a project atm that has many comboboxes with the same menu information. how to i link the information in a sub procedure when the comboboxes all have different names?

I have a school project where i have a form that works as a class registration. There is cboGradeLevel and cboCourse and cboNumber. If cboGrade level is freshman i only want the numbers that start with 1 in cboName to be displayed, sophomore =2, junior =3, senior =3. Then i want cboCourse to work the same for the second number in cboNumber. english=1, history=2, math=3, science=4. So if freshman and history were selected i only want the numbers that start with 12- to be displayed. What can I use to make this happen?

In my program, I have recently found it necessary to include a settings window. Here, there are two "Combo Boxes" which the user can click on and decide what to select. For example, in FireFox, under Startup and "When Firefox starts: you have a selection. This is what I want integrated into my program. Also, when the preferences have been selected, they can click an "apply" button in which their input can be recorded into a settings file. At this point I do not know where to go. Another important thing you should know is that all of the input is based on "Yes/No (Boolean).

My problem is that I am trying to fill the combos based on the selections made on the other combos and really I am going insane. I have found a couple of examples that show how to do this using JavaScript but I donīt think this is the best solution. i would like to do this using a stored procedure which I think is more efficient. My db is on SQL 2000 and I am using asp for server script.At the moment all i have is this, which really doesn't do very much, all it does is composing the where clause so that whe i call the stored procedure if filters the results based on the combos, but ofcourse the combos are at the moment static: [code]
