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?
Is it possible to have a texttbox autocomplete source set to a listbox's collection? I see:
FileSystem
HistoryList
RecentlyUsedList
AllUrl
AllSystemSources
FileSystemDirectories
CustomSource
in the texxtbox's autocompletesource property but are unable to make it happen.
Dim dt As DataTable = MyClass.DatabaseRecordsetCall()
Dim str(dt.Rows.Count) As String
If dt IsNot Nothing AndAlso dt.Rows.Count > 0 Then For Each row As DataRow In dt.Rows
str.SetValue(row.Item(0).ToString, dt.Rows.IndexOf(row))
Next
End If
This is the code I am using to populate a string array to use as an autocomplete source for a textbox.The datatable has 17 rows in it. However, it creates the string array with a length of 18.Just an FYI, if you try to use an autocomplete source that contains a value = nothing, it will cause your application to crash.No, not cause an exception which could be dealt with, but a solid inexplicable, pull your hair out, scream and curse because you cannot figure it out crash. The microsoft message that comes up references the file browseui.dll.The above code as is, will generate an extra array value whose value WILL equal nothing and cause this crash to happen.
how to set the Textbox autocomplete source to specific column in my datatable?how can i do that?
View 13 RepliesI have a data table (mdf). I want my text box to show suggestions from a column of that table.
View 3 RepliesI don't know what this is called so I've struggled to find an answer from google but I have a vague memory of it from t'old days.I've sub-classed (* see below) about 8 framework controls, overriden some properties and added some functionality into each one.The changes I have made are identical in every case. If I make a change, I have to go through each class and apply the same change there.I was hoping there may be a keyword such as <IncludeSourcefile "common.vb> that I can put into each class.
(* note) I use the term sub-classed but I don't know if that's the correct terminology. I've also seen it used for call-backs. Is sub-classed the correct term to use?

I have an Access database and I want to view on a datagridview specific rows. For that I used the following :
CasesBindingSource.Filter =
"OfferDate Between #1/1/1997# And #12/31/1997#"
Cases is the table, OfferDate a field of the table wich is DateTime type.
When I use Between operator I get the following error :The expression contains unsupported operator 'Between'.

I need a complete code of how to AutoComplete ComboBox
View 1 RepliesI 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.
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.
I Use visual Basic 8.0 and Mysql 5.0

Does anyone know if there is a way to have autocomplete use a text file for it's data source?
View 3 RepliesI have a datagridview in vb 2010 and in one of the columns I populate a combobox with items from a database. With autosuggest, I filter the list to select an item. But autosuggest only works on the beginning of an item. I would like to search in each item. For example typing 'bank', I would like to select from:
Bank of Schotland
Deutsche bank
ING bank
Rabobank
I am building a autocomplete on my textbox. Really simple and it works really fine. But I like to do the next thing. When there is a match in the list and I will click on it. then i like to have a function.
For example
Private Sub ListItems_click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
MsgBox("test")
End Sub
How can i make this sub??
I use combo boxes with the Autocomplete turned on (Source = ListItems and Mode= SuggestAndApplend). The problem is that if the user stops typing for two seconds and then continues typing, the Autocomplete starts matching only on a new characters being typed. For example, I have a list with two items: "apple" and "please". I type "ap", then pause for a couple seconds and then continue typing "ple". I want the list to match on "apple" but instead it matches on "please". I'm looking for a property or some way to set the length of time the control resets the matching. Do you know if one exists?

I have a combox that is run-time bound to a table that is run-time built and populated from a text file. I have set the combobox autocomplete mode to suggest and the source to list items, but only the 1st item will work. Ok so here's the code:
Private Sub SetStateComboBox()
'set autocomplete for combobox
state_cmbx.AutoCompleteMode = AutoCompleteMode.SuggestAppend[code]....
The file is a text file with a list of the 50 states and their abbreviations in the format : stateName - abbr.Now what happens is the data is displayed correctly, but when I begin to type a letter for the autocomplete the only letter that shows anything is the "a" and it will only show the very first item in the text file.Everything else does not display with the autocomplete, but does show in the list. I have tried variations such as adding the data as items like this:
Private Sub SetStateComboBox()
'set autocomplete for combobox
state_cmbx.AutoCompleteMode = AutoCompleteMode.SuggestAppend[code]....
This way does not allow any autocomplete when I begin typing but everything is in the list. I've also tried converting the table to a customautocompletestring and still the same results.The only way that I have been able to get it to work is be entering each state as an item: state_cmbx.items.add("Michigan - MI"), then it works correctly.Also the combobox dropdownstyle is set to dropdown, and I'm using visual studio 2010 ultimate and coding using VB.

Getting the array into session and updating it is the easy part, getting it from session into the autocomplete isn't as much so. I'd rather use the array to do the auto complete instead of converting to json.
I've tried using '<%= SESSION("MEMBER_SEARCH_ARRAY") %>' as the source for the autocomplete but no dice.
