Cannot Manage Multiple ComboBoxes In Form
Jan 25, 2011
I have the following problem, a table "table1" contains 10000 telephone numbers, this table is source for 5 combo box contained in a form, I need that when I select the first tel N in the first combo, this number is not any more available for the combo 2, when I select the second number in the second combo, the first 2 numbers of the table 1 are not any more available for the combo 3 etc. Every record (in form) contains 5 combo. The Tel N selected into the combo are source for other table called "table2". I've try with all the type of query between table 1 and table 2, and use the result as source for the combo, I've try with IIf but this is works only for the first combo.

How can I create a GUI in vb.net similar to the one above?i.e.there are "buttons" on the left which changes the main window when they are clicked.One way I thought of is create many panels overlapping and show/hide them when a certain button on the left is clicked.

How to manage multiple tables with the same structure. However, due to the craptastical nature of VB, the solution doesn't really work. It specifically doesn't work because VB.NET requires the implementation of each method/property in the interface to be explicitly declared.
As for the problem that I'm really trying to solve, here it is:
I have many lookup/domain tables in the database that all have the same structure.
The items in these tables are typically used for drop downs in the interface.
I would like to avoid a bunch of boilerplate repository methods to retrieve the contents of these tables (one method per table really sucks when you have 40 tables).
I am not using the One True Lookup Table anti-pattern and this is not an option.

What would be the best way to manage multiple Picture Boxes?I am thinking an array, but if that is so, how would I build this array, and what would be stored in it?

How best to manage multiple dat files for serializable objects of the same class. If one of my data files goes past a particular size, I want to create a new file. I then loop through both files when I do processing. Is there any easier way to do this and what's the best size to do this at in terms of performance?

I am trying to move over vb6 code that worked through arrays of comboboxes.I have a panel that has 18 comboboxes that each need to be populated the same.I first clear the combo boxes and it loops through them, but keeps going until it gets an error.Likewise on sFillLotNO, it adds the first foundrow to each but bombs out when it tries to get the 19th.[code]

I have two combo boxesthat use the same collection for their datasource. The data member and value member are also the same properties. When the form loads, and I select an item in one of the combo boxes, the same item is then selected in the other combo box. I want the combo boxes to work separately. Do I need to have two different collections, even though they would have the same data in them?
cboInboardKnife.DataSource = cKnives
cboInboardKnife.DisplayMember =
"Name"
cboInboardKnife.ValueMember =
"ToolID"
cboOutboardKnife.DataSource = cKnives
cboOutboardKnife.DisplayMember =
"Name"
cboOutboardKnife.ValueMember =
"ToolID"

I want to maintain a list of potential ComboBox values over multiple executions of my program, and to use that list as the DataSource on multiple ComboBoxes. I also want changes made to the DataSource to propagate over all of the ComboBoxes already existing in the application.
Can someone recommend what type of object I should use as my DataSource, as My.Settings objects don't seem to support generic list objects.
Also, along with that recommendation, can I also ask for suggestions as to how to propagate the updates of the collection to all ComboBoxes? I would imagine I need a collection type which raises events when its contents change, but I can't think of any, and in any case do not know which are compatible with My.Settings.

I have a program issue I am trying to work on. I have multiple comboboxes(12 total) on a form.I am attempting to update some settings from what ever the user selects from the combo boxes. I am trying to keep the code as small as possible, so I thought about having all the comboboxes have similar names only different by a number being changed at the end. (ex: cbo_1, cbo_2, cbo_3, etc...)And using a For next loop to advance through each combobox and update the settings as the for next loop advances.(This might be a stupid way of doing it, but its the first idea that came to mind.)

I have 16 comboboxes with a naming convention of:
c1d2
c2d2
c3d2
c4d2
c16d2
These will all contain the same items and I need to add them at runtime. I know how to loop through the controls, but not sure how to make sure I'm only editing the correct comboboxes. (I will have to do this for 2 more sets of comboboxes with similar naming conventions as well)

This post is a continuation of my other post concerning 'List(of) with multiple comboboxes refill problem.'. I threw the list overboard and began anew with a Dataview.
So far I (finally) managed to get 2 comboboxes (will be more, but if it works for 2...) loaded with the same data using different dataviews (DataView1 & DataView2) so I can select a value from each combobox without the other following the selection.
But now I want to filter out the selected value from the other combobox.
This also works.
The only thing is this: If I select in combobox1 the value 3, and select in combobox2 the value 4, combobox1 will change to the value 2.
If I select in combobox1 the value 2, and select in combobox2 the value 1, combobox1 will change to the value 3.
It works also the other way arround. I can't seem to get my hands around the problem..
Does somehow the index of the items in the combobox play's part? I don't use the selectedIndex, so from my point of view it can't be..
The code I use:
(with the item 0 as 'neutral' option)
Public Class Form1
Dim dTable As New DataTable

I'm trying to make a program in which I can import an excel file, read the whole thing and save it in another format. So far so good: can import the file, read it, skip first line or not etc.But.. Now I've been thinking about a sort option.What if the column order of the excel file is in another order than the export file must be in. In stead of opening the excel file and rearrange the columns manually, I would like to sort it in the program. Just for the sake of trying to make it work and gain experience
So, i read the first line which contains the column names and put them in several comboboxes where I can make a selection. No problem here.Now, the selection of combobox1 has to be removed from the other comboboxes and so on, to avoid double selections on one column. That's where my listOld comes in. Everytime a selection is made in a combobox, a sub is called to create the listOld and create the listNew (which contains items you can still choose from).As I make more selections the listOld gains more items and the ListNew grows shorter.But here comes the part where I'm puzzled.In the part "refill the comboboxes" (bottom part) when I disable "cmb2.Items.Clear()" the listOld (previous selected items) contains all selected items correctly.

My VB project is large enough that it requires several files. It was originally developed as a Console App and I created each file as a MODULE. All modules could use subroutines, data structures and constants from other MODULES and everything worked fine. I needed to add basic windowing to the app and this required that the app be converted from a Console App to a Windows Forms App. The main window is Form1 which is not a MODULE but a CLASS. The problem is that some MODULE based functions cannot access subroutines, data and constants that are defined within the CLASS Form1 unless they are incorporated into the CLASS file and this makes the CLASS file very large. If I add a new Class file to the project, it also cannot interoperate with Class Form1 in the same way that multi-MODULE code interoperates.
How does one spread CLASS code across several files and still allow it to interoperate as if it were in a single file? Alternatively, how does one create several CLASS files that operate the way multiple MODULE files operate.I am sure that there are all kinds of best practices that I am violating but the goal to to get some prototype software working and interfaced to some lab equipment.

I have multiple combox boxes,
A B C
Combobox B has items Fruit, Veg, Dairy
Combobox C needs to contain 3 list and depending on what value is selected in Combo Box B.
For example,
If I select Veg in Combo Box B, I would like to have a drop down list containing "tomatoes, lettuce, onion,..........."
If I select Dairy in Combo Box B, I would like to have a drop down list containing "Milk, Cheese...................."

I am considering a piece of code that will manage access to a collection object from multiple threads - add, update, remove, clear. OK ... so I have put a sync lock within each method, but what is not clear from the MS documentation is exactly how the sync lock is behaving. Is it locking the piece of code it wraps? Or is it locking the object? And if it is locking the object a private static object should lock out any code locked on the object within all instances of the object? i.e. if an add operation is underway, an update, delete or clear will wait for the lock to be released.
Finally, if I have multiple threads contending for the sync lock, how is the release managed? First come, first serve? random (from my p.o.v)? Is there a chance that two separate threads could blunder into 'locked' code simulataneously?

I have a form that I am managing, works well, but now I am thinking about using a usercontrol embedded in the control form. Is it possible to manage the same form through an usercontrol on the control form? Dont think I phrased that right, say if you had form1 that loads(manages) form2, which I can do, how can I manage form2 with an usercontrol embedded in form1? Is this possible?

this is a subset of a previously posted problem, I have narrowed down my issue and am reposting a question from this thread: [URL] I have apparently confused the compiler by renaming some comboboxes in Visual Basic .net express? (See relevant code below) I think the confusion is in who should handle what, with two routines named with variations of ComboBox1 and one handling the other ( it confuses me just trying to interpret it mentally):

I have a form with 4 comboboxes and a button. The first combobox is enabled, but the rest of the controls are disabled. When the form is opened I fill the first combobox (cbxMethod) with a datatable. When the user selects something in cbxMethod the next combobox (cbxStudy) will be filled and so on. When the last combobox (cbxAnalyte) has a selected value I want to enable the button and give it focus so the user can move forward with the program. I basically want to force the user to move from one combobox to the other, until all are filled.I am currently using the SelectionValueChange event, but this event only fires when the user changes the value with their mouse or hits the Enter key, not when the user hits the Tab key.

unfortunately searching the web i cannot find a decent example that allows me to loop through a winform to make sure comboboxes items are selected.basically what i would like to do is check the form if the comboboxes have been selected if not then highlight them yellow and set the focus on them.

I have a solution with two applications in it. One is a windows form application that I want to use to set and manage a windows SERVICE application app settings.
For example. The form has the database connection string on it, when updated. The windows service application settings are updated.. I can get it to work for the windows application, but I need to jump boundries to the other application( Windows Service) and update the app settings there.

I'm using VB 2005 and have an Edit - Entry form with Textboxes and several Comboboxes. I populate the Comboboxes with Arraylists as shown below. I populate a datatable with the Employee data from my SQL Server. I assign the BindingSource1.Datasource to my Datatable then add Databindings to the ComboControls. The (Fields.STAFF_MGR_ID.ToString) is from an Enum. When all is complete my textbox fields Bind and move with the MoveNext.. no problem, but the comboboxes display nothing.

I need to select all the comboboxes on a form with a for each loop. I have about 19 comboboxes and I need to select each one. I tried to do
for each box as combobox in me.controls
But that gave me an error and i now tried this:
for each box as control in me.controls
if box.name.contains("ComboBox") then
...
end if
next
That selected only the comboboxes but the problem is i need to access some data that is specific to comboboxes (aka the selected item(s), if its blank) but those properties are not present since "box" is a control, not a combo box.

I have spent a long time trying to find a solution for the problem I am having with comboboxes within a child form. I'm sure this must be a Microsoft error and not something I'm doing wrong..The best way to explain the problem would be to tell you what I have done so far:
If you open a new Project in VB and add two Windows Forms. Form1 will be the parent. Form2 will be the child.On Form1 add 1 x panel(Form2 will open up within the panel so make sure the panel is big enough to fit Form2) and 1 x button. The only code needed for this form is:
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
[Code]...
Now run the program and click button1 to open form2 (form2 should now open within panel1).
The comboboxes and textboxes lose some of there functions for example:
1. You cant set focus on combobox without hitting drop-down
2. You cant highlight text properly in either the combobox or textbox.
3. You cant set the cursor index position using your mouse in the combobox or text box.
Does anyone know a way around this?? Mainly for the combobox as I've got some functions working for the textbox.
