The combobox is bound via binding source to a table. How can I display the list of look up options while having the first option say [None} and if selected, clears the value from the list.
View 2 RepliesI've got some code like the following. I want it so that when I chose an item in 'select 1' it changes the in the second combo box but I'm not sure of the best way to go about it. Does it have to be AJax or can it be done with just Javascript?

View 5 RepliesI've used VB to connect to Excel and get the titles of the different columns in a spreadsheet. These then display in a drop down combo box for the user to choose from. I'm getting lots of empty values in my combo box because not all the columns in Excel have titles. How would I go about telling it not to display them?
Excuse the easy question but I've only started learning to code a week ago.
This combo box is databound to a SQL backend, so when it is filled it has a blank at the top of the list. I am assuming this is added because of the NULL at the bottom of the SQL table. Is there a way to remove this entry?
I have tried the following:
.items.remove("") ' does not work, i added this after the population command
.items.removeAt(0) ' This gave me an exception stating that it could not be used because the datasource was used This is the code i use to fill the combobox on form load:
With ManufacturerComboBox
.DisplayMember = "Manufacturer"
.ValueMember = "ManufacturerID"

I've inherited a form that has a DataGridView that is bound to a dataadapter and it is connected to a binding source. Within the DataGridView is a combo box that is bound to its own bindingsource which basically just calls a stored proc to bring back the possible values for the dropdown combo control
With a blank new row and sometimes even with an existing row, this value for the combo box can be NULL which is a legitimate value for it if no value selected. Problem is everything is so tightly bound if the user mistakinly clicks the dropdown then a value is populated and there's no way to get back to NULL
I've tried to catch the mousecelldown event and others to try to catch this before a value is selected but the Cancel=True doesn't work - I can catch the event but don't know how to return the cell to unclicked or reset it to NULL or pre selected value if NULL I know how to at a new row with the datatable and then set the combo datasource to it and I have my null blank value but with a tightly bound control how do I add this row?

I'm new to VB.NET and looking for some help with combo boxes. I was wondering if it is possible to link 2 combo boxes to each other based on user selection? [code]If the user selects Dept Name "Bakery" from the first combo box the second combo box should fill with the appropriate Section Name i.e. "Bread", "Cakes" etc.I am using VS2008 and the DB is SQL Server 2008. Both combo boxes are currently bound to the above Tables and displaying all Dept and Section Names.

ok, got a question here, two really. first i'll ask the hard one, as i think i have my other one out of the way so i'll save it for later but i made a program where a user enters in dimensions in several text boxes in inches. there are radio boxes that the user decides what thickness of wood they would like to use. what i'd like to do is add metric into the program and use two combo boxes. one combo box drops down and you can select inches, centimeters, or millimeters. the other one drops down to choose the thickness of the wood.ok now here's my question. say i pick inches in the first combo box, i'd like the second one to display only the thickness of the wood in inches, no metric. if i pick centimeters, i'd like the second combo box to display the thickness of the wood in only centimeters, no millimeters or inches. and the same goes for millimeters.i also have the program on a timer that runs at 100 milliseconds so the user can quickly see the differences in dimensions they put in instead of having to hit the calculate button over and over and over (not sure if that really matters or not, had a couple issues with the boxes earlier but don't think it was timer related now)but is this possible? basically just looking for the kinds of drop boxes that you see on a page like autotrader.com where you select dodge, and then only the dodge cars are listed, select chevy and the chevy cars are listed, etc.
View 7 RepliesI am currently stuck in one part of my application. I have two combo boxes that i am having the users select from. The first combo box is simply bound to a datatable. that is working properly. The second one i need to populate off another datatable after sorting out what the first one is requesting. Basically it's choosing a line number on the first box and then selecting the machine associated with that line number.[code]...

As the title suggests I have a ComboBox and 2 listBoxes on a form. I need to fill the left ListBox with items not now asssociated with the ComboBox selection and the ListBox on the right with items already associated with the ComboBox selection. Is it possible to populate the ComboBox and each ListBox using only one query and returning a dataset of ALL the data to do so, or do I need to Populate the ComboBox, then use 2 queries, one for each ListBox?

View 1 RepliesI am still having issues with the combo box. I have the correct query. I have four tables in MS Access. I need to create a form in Visual Basic that has a combo box and a datagrid.

I'm trying to fill a ListView control in a VB2005 project. It works fine from underpinning (Access) database IF all the data is present. However, if a field is blank (in this case - a field called "Actual Date" which is meant to be blank for this record), the ListView will stop populating at that point.I thought this may have been the 'CausesValidation' property of the ListView but that doesn't seem to change the behaviour.Is this an inherent feature of the ListView - if so it seems daft - or is there a property I need to change or an override that I need to code?

I am using visual studio vb 2005 and I searched the forums for an answer to this but didn't find exactly what I was looking for. I am using the following code to populate a list box. What I want is to have a datagrid view show the results of a dataset that is generated when a user selects something from the list box. I know how to generate the dataset, but I'm not sure how to bind that to a datagrid view and I'm not sure what event I should use from the list box.[code]
View 6 RepliesI have a list box created, and a rich text box. I have an item Fire Ball in the list box would like to have a description in the rich text box when the item is selected in the list box for some reason this code isn't working..

ok.. just as it sounds.. I'm kinda making a document portal app for work.. has 4 list boxes going to 4 different drive locations.. for cosmetic reasons I want only the last box you clicked in to show a selected item.. so if you selected box 1 item and it was hilighted and then you went to box 2 and selected something I wanted box 1 to then dissapear.
I have some code written to handle this.. but its not working so well.. since I use the SelectedIndexChanged trigger to fire off another piece of code to unselect all the other windows.. those listboxes fire their triggers also because I have to call lstWord. SelectedIndex = -1 to make it not have something selected anymore.. and when you do that.. it calls its SelectedIndexChanged and ends up deselecting everything.. so wasnt sure if anyone had done something like this before.. seems like something that would have been done before.. but as you can imagine searching the web for "multi list box select only one at a time" or something similar..gives you some strange results..
I'm using a list box with multiple selections to add to my string -- I can't figure why my conditional doesn't seem to work. Every selection in the list box is intended to add specific literal to the string I'm building. What am I doing wrong See my code:

I know the question is a little choppy and perhaps misleading,but I have a gridview with dropdownlists on the rows. I created an AddHandler and a Delegate for the SelectedIndexChanged and it gets to the sub. Here is the code for that:
AddHandler ddlmgr.SelectedIndexChanged, AddressOf ddlmgr_SelectedIndexChanged
Public Delegate Sub DropDownList_SelectedIndexChanged(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As DropDownList_SelectedIndexChanged)
Protected Sub ddlmgr_SelectedIndexChanged(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)
End Sub How can i get the row's Id if GridView_RowCommand is not called?
Is the ContextMenu control strictly to offer choices when the user right-clicks some object, or can it be used to offer choices in general?
In my situation, when a user opens a certain type of file, I want to offer a selection of specific subfiles (line ranges) within said file as choices. The presence of subfiles and their number is variable, so this would be a dynamic situation. (No subfiles: use the whole file; three subfiles: present three choices ...)Would ContextMenu be appropriate, or should I offer a list box or combo box or frame of radio buttons instead?
