I have a combobox that is populated with movies with a number corresponding to where it is held in our archives ie. "451 How The Grinch Stole Christmas"What I would really like to do is have an autocomplete routine that would make it possible NOT to have autocomplete only work on the first character. As it stands, with Visual Studio's native autocomplete if my combobox is populated by:
Apple Smoothie
Banana Puree
Crayon Colors
[code]....
and I type "Pu" I will get only "Pure Energy" as an autocomplete result. I would like it so that typing "Pu" would return Pure Energy & Banana Puree.
How to make a combobox only list based on user's input via autocomplete?For example, if user input "A" the combobox only lists all names start letter "A".If user input "AM" the combobox only lists all names start first two letter as "AM" and so on.
I'm looking for a library for Autocomplete support in text controls which remembers all previous entries of the user and provide auto-complete support for it.For example for "recent files" I use [URL] and it works great. Do you know something like that for this purpose?
UPDATE : This is a .NET Winforms application and I'm using normal Text Control.
I have an array filled with values from Excel cells. Each of the values is a concatenation of two things separated by a pipe, like "Machines|MachinesCode"
I need to, as I fill this array, strip out the pipe and everything in front of it so that the array being filled is only filled with the "MachinesCode" part of the cell value, but I haven't had much luck finding how I should do this. Each cell is dynamically filled and will never have a set length, so I can't set a trip by a particular number value of characters in the strings.
This subroutine is what I'm using. I am filling array FieldArray with another array (ExcelArray) currently holding the concatenated values.
Public Shared Sub PopulateFieldArray(ByRef FieldArray() As String, ByVal iFieldCount As Integer, ByVal ExcelArray(,) As Object) Dim iIndex As Integer For iIndex = 1 To iFieldCount FieldArray(iIndex) = CStr(ExcelArray(2, iIndex)) Next End Sub
But I don't know what to wrap around the CStr Excel array to cut off the pipe and all values before it while I fill FieldArray.
My client wants that my table be filtered based on the values from a field regardless of its order.
Example: I want to search for a student whose surname is 'Thomas' but the keyword is not the first in the field. The 'Surname' field, instead, contains the value "Ian Thomas".
If I am going to use this code;
bindingsource.filter = "surname Like '" & textbox1.text & "'"
It will base the searching on the first characters of the field only.
I have over 4,000 xml files that needs to be converted in to a character based on a value and entered in to a rich text box. It will do this, until it runs out of files to read. I have tried "try" statements, "if" statements...
Sub Sort() ReDim RollsCC(NumOfPlayers - 1) For N As Integer = 0 To (NumOfPlayers - 1)[code]....
Here I am creating a temp single dimensional array, merging my 2d array into it, and then attempting to sort it by Rolls(N,1), which is a integer 1-6, Everything seems to be working right with the exception of this.
RollsCC.Sort(RollsCC, 0, 1)
How would one specify a numeral sort based on the first character in the string? im aware that I am switching Rolls(n,1) and Rolls(n,0) information during the sort.
How do I write an expression to calculate all characters of each row by my own defined value to each character = all the A and B and C and etc. will be as 2 and all I and J and whatever ... will be 1 so I need an end result of the total.
I am working on a sub that essentially needs to open a text file, and replace all instances of a certain character with a unicode character. I'm trying to do this by reading the original text file byte by byte, converting it to a character, and then either adding that character to a memory stream or writing the unicode character to the memory stream. Then I'm saving the memory stream to the original file.
For each character of this string I want a new character out of the string and then remove the character from the list of characters that still maybe used for other characters. It may not get the same character, you could basically just call this encryption, but it's not what I am making. I don't want to waste my time doing this one hour while VB can do this for me in <1 second.
I am writing a hangman type game and I am displaying the word to the user in a label as all *'s, but I cannot figure out how to have just one of the *'s changed in the label to the correct letter when the user inputs the correct letter into the text box and clicks the check letter button.Everything else in the program works perfectly, except for this part.[code]When I use the .Replace it changes all of the *'s to the correct selected letter.
the coding is to 'Get input string and put its character into List, and replace the character with other.'but having problem putting each character into List and also replacing it,[code]
I want to read a text file(.txt) character by character into a database.There are 28 characters on each line and I want to read the first 16 into a column in a database and the rest in another column in the database.
In my VB.NET application I compare words that are recorded using IPA, many of which have many diacritic marks. In one of the comparisons, I compare the words character by character. But when I iterate over the characters, the diacritic marks come out as separate characters (as I would expect since this is unicode)However, a u character is different than a u plus an accent for the purposes of this program and needs to be distinguished.
My form has a texbox where user enters an ID. IDmust be4 chracters in length andof the form: begins with either "E" or "e" and the next 3 chracters cannot be "all characters".

I've been working with the substring command and after coding up all the things I needed it to do, I saw a post on here where the "For Each" statement was used basically to do the same thing.Lets say we just want to take a string apart one character at a time and add each character to a label. Which would be more efficient?I made a cheap example to show ...
Code: ABinary = "0110 1100 0001 1011" For x = 0 To Len(ABinary) - 1
I have datagridview containing 4 columns with 2 combobox. With the initial loading of datagridview I could select an item with the combobox, but when I tried to select an item with other combobox I've got an error showing "System.ArgumentException: DataGridViewComboBoxCell Value is not valid. To replace this default dialog please handle the dataerror event" . When ever I click it's always shows this message.
I have some code that calls to Active Directory and gets a list of users then adds them into a ComboBox.
I would like to extend this feature by allowing the combo box to autocomplete when a user starts to type.
Ive read a few articles but they seem to be based on data coming from SQL server but none on Active Directory. Could anyone assist by advising how i could go about this?

i am new to VB.net and i am now exploring the some of the controls in VB.net i have a problem with regards to autocomplete in VB.net 2005 in my textbox, i set the AutoCompleteMode to "SuggestAppend" and i have filled my AutoCompleteCustomSource.
the autocomplete works but with one simple problem.... i have a problem with regards to "/" character
in my attachment when you type "A" and your succeeding characters is with "/" character... it will not display the rest of the characters..for example, "A. VALVE 1/2 X 3/4" in textbox will display "A. VALVE 1/".
Is there any workaround with this problem? I hope that you can help me with regards to my problem...
I'm able to convert a character to its corresponding Character/ASCII code using "Asc(CHAR)". I can't find anything on converting this returned Integer back to its original Char form.
I have MIDNAME column in my table. I want to remove all the character starting from the second character going to the right and after removing it, a period "." will be added right after the letter which left. How do I it?
I'm struggling to meet a demand from my supervisors.Basically there are places in our project where there is a big selection of options. The most concrete example is choosing a city in the world. The items are hundreds of thousands.Using standard winforms controls and properties, one can search through a list fast.The problem is that we're using a concatenation of city&district name for all the items. Essentially PREFIX autotomplete works but does not work as needed. The task is to filter and show items by any given string in any part of the item. Essentially a FULL TEXT search in the combobox.Does anyone have an idea about switching autocomplete sources in runtime relatively qiuckly and handling the suggest/suggestappend event?
I have a couple of texbox and combobox controls that are bound to a dataset. I can scroll this with the a bindingnavigator. But I want to have the combobox do autocomplete from the dataset. For example, if i type a "D" in the combobox bound to the 'ClientName' column of the 'ClientInfo' table,i want the comcobox to display all (or maybe the top 20) names that start with a "D". If i then type an "E" I would like the list to show all names starting with "De" and so on.
I have tried to bind the 'autocompletesource' of the combobox to the 'ClientName' column, but that did not appear to do anything.I am reasonably experienced with VB .Net, but totally new to database and data centric applications.
