Assign A Value To A List Box Item?
Mar 8, 2010
I wish to create a drop-down list box with items in it. Easy to do and done that. What I also wish to to is assign a numerical value to each list item. I believe under VB6 is was done using the list's `Value` property to set and get the item. It's so I can write a one byte value to a file but display a text value on the form. Don't wish to mess wish classes and arrays, but if I have to I guess it'll be have to be done.Was looking at some examples of making in-memory arrays/datasets for a list-box but just sees like a programming overkill for the simple thing I wish to do.Put it another way....
List box item 1 = "First option". List box value 1 = 35
List box item 1 = "Second option". List box value 1 = 44
List box item 1 = "Third option". List box value 1 = 3
If the user selects "Second item" from the drop down list box then that property do I use to retrieve that list item's value `44`. Also, when I pprogramatically populate the drop-down list, how to I set each lite item's `Value` property accordingly. As in the example 35, 44 and 3 Tried using `SelectedItem` and `SelectedValue`?

I am trying to develop a recipe manager that allows a user to create a shopping list. I've already determined that I want to use a list view for this job. I want to be able to group the items in the shopping list by the appropriate grocery aisle (i.e. Dairy, Bread, Canned Goods, etc.) I'm not sure how to assign the items to the appropriate group as the user selects each item.
I haven't started actually building the application yet as i'm still in the development stage, but i have been testing the list view out to figure out how it works. i've figured out how to add items. i just don't know how to specify the group that each item should belong to.

I have a list box on the form which functions as a copy/paste. When you copy something, it is automatically added to the list box as a "clipboard helper". Here is the problem,however: if the text is more than 1 line, the list box does not show all the text.It ends up looking messy.So getting back to my question, is it possible to make the list box item height for an item depending on the amount of lines that item contains?This is a one line sentence in the list box and should take up one line.This is a multi line sentence in the list box and should take up two lines for item height.

assign a particular value to each item in a combo box? Or, alternatively, some similar control? Specifically, I want a drop down list to select from a list of countries. I then want to get the ISO 2 letter abbreviation for the selected country. I could have a section of code like this
selected_country = cmb_country.SelectedItem.ToString()
if selected_country = "Afghanistan" Then
country_code = "AF"
ELSE IF selected_country = "Aland Islands" Then
[code]....
but this will get rather tedious.Is there an easier way to do it? I would like to be able to assign a value to each line in the list, like
Afghanistan, AF
Aland Islands, AX
Albania, AL
then get the value for the selected item. Is this possible? If not with a combo box, then any other control?

I have a form with a lot of PictureBoxes. I created an array of these by name, but when I index the array I cant assign an image to the indexed item. In fact all the indexes appear to be nothing. Is there a way to create an array of controls and access them from the array?

I have a property called ReplacementTo and I set a value to it based on the selecteditem from the combobox, like this:
classEquipmentItem.ReplacementTo = cmbReplcmnt.SelectedItem.ToString
Now I can't use cmbReplcmnt.Text because what I actually need is the value of that SelectedItem
So problem is, if the user leaves the combobox as blank, it throws a null exception.I decided to use the IIf function then:classEquipmentItem.ReplacementTo = IIf(IsNothing(cmbReplcmnt.SelectedItem.ToString), classEquipmentItem.ReplacementTo = "", cmbReplcmnt.SelectedItem.ToString)
Unfortunately I still get the error I tried using a Try-Catch for it and it worked, but I don't want to rely on the Try-Catch, so I was wondering is there a another way to work this through?

I'm having some difficulty with a sorted & grouped listbox in WPF vb.net 3.5 that has an items source bound to an ObservableCollection.
What I want to be able to do is to retrieve a piece of data from the ObservableCollection items source depending on what item in the listbox the user has selected.I've almost got it working but because the listbox is sorted it does not match the index of the items source.
[code]...
As I previously mentioned, because the lstBox is sorted and also grouped the index's don't match up.Does anyone know how I can get the correct information I want from the List Source depending on the selected item in the list box?

How someone would select an item from a list box and click a button and have that item go into another listbox with it's price? I seem to be stuck on this part.
Here's my code:
I want to select the first option from the first listbox and I want to put it into another listbox along with the price of that item on the same line in the listbox. I can't seem to figure out how to that.
Public Class Form1
Const dcmPRICE_STRESS As Decimal = CDec(595.0)
Const dcmPRICE_TIME_MANAGMENT As Decimal = 695

my program downloads into a combobox every item(line) that is in a text file located on a server.
Every line in the text file ends with "a)" or with "g)".
Now I just want to make 3 radio buttons:
- one that will allow the download in the combobox only the item ending with "g)"
- one that will allow the download in the combobox only the item ending with "a)"
- one that will allow the download in the combobox of both (I already know how to do).
How can I do so?
To download the entire list in the combobox I do:
Dim List As String = client.DownloadString("http://mywebsite.com/mytextfile.txt)Dim lines As String() = List.Split(New String() {ControlChars.CrLf}, StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries)ComboBox1.Items.Clear()
ComboBox1.Items.AddRange(lines)

I have a user defined structure in a list that I am trying to change the value for in an individual element within the list of structures. Accessing the element is not a problem. However, the compiler complains
"Expression is a value and therefore cannot be the target of the assignment"when I try to update the value.For example:
Public Structure Person
Dim first as String
Dim last as String
Dim age as Integer

I have a List myList of MyObjects. Is it possible to check if myList contains a particular myObject based on a property of myObject in VB.NET? In C#, you'd something similar to this right:
myList.Exists(myObject => myObject.property1 == 3)

I have a List(Of MyObj), and I want to iterate through that list and compare each element to all other elements in the same list, excluding (if possible) the same element. I have a solution that works, but it's slow and uses double For loops. It may possibly have also summoned Cthulhu from his sleep. This below is a sanitized version of what I have:
Dim MyList As New List(Of MyObj)({Obj1, Obj2, Obj3, Obj4, Obj5, Obj6})
If MyList.Count > 0 Then
For i = 0 To (MyList.Count - 1) Step 1

I want to know how to test the 1st list box if it has items more than the other list box but by one item, here is what i have: If lstInvisibleTv. Items.Count > lstInvisiblePc.Items.Count Then it works good if the lstInvisibleTv list box is greater than the other list box by one but it also works if it is greater the other one by one or more which I do not want. I want it to work just by one.

I am trying to assign integer values to the items in 2 different list boxes called lstWorkshop and lstLocation. I then want the equation, intCost = intDays * intLodgingFee + intRegistrationFee, to be executed and the result to be displayed in a third listbox named lstCost. This is what I have so far, but whenever I run the program the value that always gets displayed is 0, which is obviously not correct.
Public Class frmWorkshopSelector
Dim intCost As Integer
Dim strTotalCost As String

I have a program that will compare an array of grocery list items glist and an array of coupon item clist.When I compare the two and if there is a match somewhere in the array I want to have a picturebox visible.When there is no match, I want the picture box not to be visible. [code] The code seems to work great until I come to the else statement.When the code finds a match it displays the picture box and the msgbox without error, but as soon as the message box is cleared, even though i've input it as an ELSE statement, the picturebox goes false again.Does anyone have any idea of how I can "hold" the picturebox to stay visible while the match between the arrays exists?
