Checking Text To Values In ComboBox
Jan 22, 2009
How I could go about checking a typed value in a combo to the values in the combo box. I am making a system to select lockerID and Supplier ID I want the user to be able to enter the value in the combo box as well as select the value form the list in the combo box. Here is the code I have been trying.
If cboStockID.Text = "" And cboStockID.Text <> cboStockID.Items.ToString Then
MsgBox("Please enter Stock ID")
Exit Sub
ElseIf cboSupplierID.Text = "" Then
MsgBox("Please Enter Supplier ID")
Exit Sub
End If

I want to check if two combobox values are equal. The comboboxes are in a datagridview.I found you need to use datagridview_EditingControlShowing to add a handler to the comobo boxes for selectedindexchanged. I can do this with this code.
Code:
Private Sub dgridRegisters_EditingControlShowing(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.DataGridViewEditingControlShowingEventArgs) Handles dgridRegisters.EditingControlShowing
Dim combo As ComboBox = CType(e.Control, ComboBox)
[code]....
However, the message box comes up for every combobox in my datagrid when I change the index, not just the cmbPort2. I would like to have something like this...
If cmbPort1.selectedindex == cmbport2.selectedindex then
'do something
endif
..but it doesn't seem possible.

Right now I am trying to make a combobox from a SQL table, it looks something like the following:
id|name|
---------
1|square
2|round
3|triangle
The combobox that I want should display the "name" parts, and I have made the code to display it correctly:
Dim dr As OdbcDataReader
cmd = New OdbcCommand(query, con)
dr = cmd.ExecuteReader
[code]....

Again a little (for me) tricky thing:Supose you have a ComboBox control with predefined values - to keep it simple, let's add some colors:
- Blue
- Green
- Red
- Yellow
Now you have a TextBox control as well. If you type into the TextBox BLUE (non-key sensitive) I would like to make it recognize that this value already exists. It does not have to do anything else except for notifying me about a match.I do think that the TextBox1.KeyPress or TextBox1.TextChanged event is what I need but I have no idea how to compare to the ComboBox1 items. I've tried to create an Array of my ComboBox1.Items but didn't get much more than errors. Can anybody help? I am sure it is quite simple however, I can't get my mind set to go in the right direction

I've been trying to fix this for a while now and have yet to find a solution that works, I want it so that when an item is added another of the same name cannot be added. Here's what I have
Dim i As Integer
For i = 0 To ComboBox1.Items.Count() - 1
If ComboBox1.Items.Item(i) = TextBox1.Text Then
'do nothing
Else

Can someone tell me why this code works exactley the opposite of the way I thought it should?

I have a combobox (cbKeyWords). I want to make sure tbAddEdit.Text does not already exist before I save. To me I should be testing for a False result not True. But the above code, goes to the msgbox if findstringexact=false and saves the data if it's true.

I have 14 values, that change constantly. I need to know how to check each value against each other to see if they are within 250 of each other. [code] I want these two values in the listbox to blink red in the list box. but i always want each value to check every value in the list box. i dont even know where to start short of programming each possibilty with a if than statement and that would take forever

problem is it will only check it once after ten seconds when the timer is set to 10 seconds i need to to check it every 10 seconds becuase these values display altitude, and if the server freezes the altitudes dont change. I need to make sure they are updated and not frozen.

I'm basically putting some validation logic around an undo button on my form and i'd like to check whether any fields on the form have had their values changed so i can ask the question "abandon changes?". This seems like something pretty standard to me but I can not see how to check whether a value has had its contents changed (without recording a before value and comparing it to the after value which for large forms would be quite horrendous to code).
In the language i used to use we used to walk the object tree (so we dont have to specify each object individually like text box, combo box etc) and check any object that have value-changed = yes to indicate the validation was required.

I have tried to solve this myself and I know I am probably doing something really silly here what I have is two different registry values that control what is displayed in the combobox on my form RegistryKey1 has the following values:0,1 or it does not existRegistryKey2 has the following values2,3, or 4 the combobox has the following values 0,1,2,3 However here is the problem if the RegistryKey2 is 2 then it further has to be checked if RegistryKey1 is either 0,1 or does not exist
if it is 1 then the selectedindex = 0
if it is 0 or does not exist then the selectedindex = 1
if RegistryKey2 is 3 then the selectedindex = 2

I have a form where two fields on the first page of the form make up the primary key. I want to check for duplicate values before attempting to insert the record, since I don't want the user to go all the way through the form only to find out they can't submit it. So I'm trying to check for duplicate values when the user tries to go to the next page of the form. I wasn't quite sure how to do it, and sure enough I'm getting an error. ("Object reference not set to an instance of an object.") The problem is apparently in my if statement, "If myValue.Length > 0 Then", but I'm not sure what needs to be in place of that.

I have declared a class in VB.NET using VS2K5 with some shared variables and made that class a dllI made use of that dll in another project and tried to make use of those variables. Even though I can able to make use of them, Im unable to view the values of those variables like the values of normal variables when Im debugging. Is there any way that I can watch the values of those shared variables during debugging.

I've never really used the Check List Box in the past, however, for the recent program I am developing, I am using this control rather than individual check boxes scattered across the form.Anyway, I want to be able to program through code which items get checked in this checked list box. Specifically, I have a variable that contains the text of each check box that I want checked.With a normal check box, I can simply say:
Dim strNames As String
strNames = "John Doe, Mark Johnson, Mike Brown, Cindy Smith"
If strNames.ToString.Contains("Mike Brown") Then[code]....

So I'm writing the equality operator overload (Operator =())for a custom object, and the resulting mess of If conditionals is just an eyesore. But so far, it seems like the only sane way to check the values to as to match the specific behavior of this object.
The rules are:Num1 is required, period, and both the left and right operands and must be equal for True. Else, False.Num2 is optional, but if specified, must be present for both the left and right operands, and must be equal for True. Else, False.Num3 is optional, but can only be specified if Num2 is also present. Else, False.Num3, if specified, must be present for both the left and right operands, and must be equal for True. Else, False.
[Code]..
I also know that I could cache elements of the checks into booleans and then use those to reduce the amount of text. But that seems like a waste of cycles just for code readability. So I wanted to know if the SO community had better thoughts on reorganizing it, just in case I'm being too verbose with my checks.

I have a tab control application, each tab loads a particular user control and each of those user controls will then add other user controls that are used amongst other the user controls. For example, I have an "ucQuotes" page and an "ucInventory" page, when the specific tab is selected, the "uc****" user control is loaded on that page, and in the case of "ucQuotes" and "ucInventory" they both use a control called "ucPartNumber"; a user control consisting of a combobox, textbox, and button. I have no issues reusing the shared user controls, in this case. My problem arises with my "ucQuickPrice" control, as it is always present at the bottom of the tab control form (separate from the tabcontrol, but on the same form), and it too uses ucPartnumber.
Here's my issue, as I type into the ucPartnumber combobox, the text I type does not appear in the combobox, it appears in the textbox of the ucPartnumber control that is being used on the tabcontrol page. There are no shared instances of ucPartNumber, nor do I have this issue between typing on one tab page and the text showing on the user control of another tab page.I tried just creating the ucPartNumber controls on the ucQuickPrice control, not adding a new instance of ucPartnumber on the .Load event, and the issue persists.
The combobox(s) in question are bound programmatically with about 40,000 items, ".datasource = dataset.tablename" not to a bindingsource. Autocomplete is set to none, I added code to utilize tool tips and the basic combobox filtering functionality. Is this a bug, or is there something I'm neglecting? I'm about 95% complete with this application, and this just happened today. I made the decision, to just reuse the ucPartNumber control on the ucQuickPrice control (originallly it's size and orientation would not fit, but I added some coding to detect what parent is adding ucPartNumber and to change its appearance accordingly). Before, I made this change, I did not have this problem. And, in trying to go back to how I had things set up before the change, the problem will not go away. if the whole control within a control verbage I used is a bit confusing, let me know and I'll try to better explain what is happening. At this point, I'm going to close and reopen vbexpress, as when I started this ordeal, vb started acting weird and wanted me to save all my work, it usually does this before locking up.

I had added the items
1
2
3 to the combobox.
Then I gave the "Select" to the text of the combobox.
How can I able to reset combobox to select the text("Select").
I had tried by giving -1 to the SelectedIndex. But it gives only Empty.
