Databound Combobox Doesn't Update Properly Depending On Input Meth
Feb 10, 2011
I've already found evidence of another having this problem. You can see this on this post by someone else:

The problem is that when one navigates the combobox via the keyboard, the combobox's information doesn't update. If you click a value with your mouse, though, everything works wonderfully. The link I've mentioned suggests changing the binding from the Text property to the SelectedItem property. I'm very deep into this project and it would be a bit of a nuisance to change the setup so as to allow it to be bound to the SelectedItem property.What I'm wondering is whether or not I can detect the user changing the selected entry in the combobox and tell VB that they "clicked" the value, if that makes any sense.
I've made a windows form in which I can change names in my databasetable 'stations'. To select which station to change I've used a databound ComboBox which gets all stations from the database table.
Now when I change the name of a station I want to get it immediatly updated in my combobox without restarting the application.
I have a combobox where the SelectedValue on the combo is bound to a property on a business object.Everything works fine, but the property that's bound to the SelectedValue on the combo only gets updated when the focus leaves the control. I understand that the property doesn't get updated until the control is validated (loses focus), but I need it to update the datasource as soon as the dropdown is closed.I know I could probably leave focus from the control on the DropDownClosed event but I'd prefer something a little less kludgy.What's the best way to immediately update my datasource when the dropdown is closed?
I am using VB.NET together with ADO.NET to create a program. I have set my TableAdapters as needed and bound the correct tables-columns to my comboboxes.My problem though is this:My combobox2 item is bound to a datatable. The table adapter's Fill method (the select command basicaly) includes a public variable in the where clause to fetch the correct results. I ll put some code here to clarify it a bit more.Public Class Frm_inv
nothing happens. Trade.TradeStatus is an instance of the class TradeOrderStatus and all the necessart statuses are visible in the drop-down list. The SelectedItem remains as Nothing (or as the first item in the list if I omit the .SelectedItem = Nothing line from the binding code).
I need to quickly demonstrate a project and decided to create a user control that is connected to an Access database through pure simple data connections (create the dataset and drag it on the control.)When I build the project and add the usercontrol to panel control on the main form, no data is shown in the datagrid.When I add the data components directly on the main form, the data is displayed properly. why I can't get my databound user control to display the data on my main form?
I'm trying to do a calculation where-in the output is different depending on what the input is. [code] I have these repeated using >=50 >=60 etc. but when I go to run the program I get this: [code] basically I need to know how to create a cut off point for the grading system. <= doesnt seem to work.
i want to cancel the input on textchange event depending on a condition, how? for example, as user type in textbox, it fires textchange event, in that i want to do some condition testing, if value is true then accept new character or cancel the new input.
I have a combobox that is bound to a dataset (via datatable and datatableAdapter). The combobox displays the current data in the table as it should.I have programmatically added the string "ADD..." to the list at the form.shown event:[code]when the user then click on (select) "ADD...", i open a new form to allow the user to add a new item to the list.The code i have behind the "ACCEPT" button on the new form stores the NEW value to the DATASET. I have verified this by previewing the data in the dataset.My problem is getting the combobox to reflect the changes to datatable to which it is bound.[code]
I have cascading data-bound combo boxes, however, if the second of the two boxes does not have the value, I am trying to change the data source of the original process to the default selection.
However I am getting errors no matter what I try to do to get the combo box to clear.
Currently: "Items collection cannot be modified when the DataSource property is set." at the Items.Clear If I try to remove the clear, I get "Cannot bind to the new value member. Parameter name: value" at the valuemember set
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.
All I want is to enter text into a databound combo box. If the entry is not in the list, then the user should have the option of updating the table that the combo box is bound to.The way I have set up the project is by dragging objects from the toolbox and having the application set up the datasource through the data sources tab. This in turn creates the bindingsource, dataset and tableadapter.For updating the combobox I have added code into the leave event. This does indeed update the client table as required. However, the id stored in the quotes table is -1. How do I make sure that the correct id is stored that references the newly added client record. For your information, the client table only has an id and clientname column.
The code is as follows:
[CODE] Private Sub ClientComboBox_Leave(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles ClientComboBox.Leave Dim con As New OleDb.OleDbConnection Dim dsClients As New DataSet
I have a ComboBox that's been bound to a DataView that's taken a filled DataTable. This DataTable has three columns. Before the DataView is bound to the ComboBox I add another column and set some values.
With a datagrid, I want to use a databound combobox to set the value of a property with the combobox's selected value. How would I go about doing that?
I created a sql stored procedure that will insert data for me depending on user input. Now I would like to know usually I would do something of this nature
Dim con As New SqlConnection(connectionString) Dim cmd As New SqlCommand("usp_userinput", con) 'references connectionstring and calls store procedure cmd.CommandType = Data.CommandType.StoredProcedure 'sets default to be storeprocedure lblMessage.Text = String.Empty With cmd.Parameters If (Session("UserInitials")) IsNot Nothing Then .AddWithValue("@UserInitials", Session("UserInitials").ToString()) End If End With
That is just an example how i usually approach calling the stored procedure in vb. However for this particular form I am going to have 50 or 60 textboxes which each one would require a session state variable.Seems a little tedious to have to create a session state variable for each textbox on the form.
i've got a problem here whereby my ctype doesn't work.firstly, to replicate my case briefly, i've created an extension of control class
[code]...
father.getheight 'compiler writes: Panel class doesn't support getheight, but I've already converted it to a Control with CType!end sub of course if i dim father as Control it works perfectly, but in my case father may be other objects as well that aren't controls so I had to dim father as a general object, is there a fix so i could properly convert father into a Control object?
My problem is when i use this schema.ini, the 9th, 10th and 11th column of the second row of the csv file doesn't read properly if there's a special character in it (it supposed to be telphone number), i think because the row above is returned as a number(integer) because it's pure numeric:
I have an application that runs perfectly on XP. When I run in on Win 7, it works perfectly when I run it in the IDE but when I deploy it, the application starts OK but some of the functions don't work as they should. I know it could be anything but does anything stand out?
On my form I have three fields and a datagrid view.One field is a combo box.All fields are databound.The datagridview is a detail grid, bound in the "normal" way. Scrolling through records, etc., all work fine.What doesn't work is when a selection is made using the combo box.The underlying table has a self-join of one-to-many: ParentID, ChildID. ChildID is the main ID for the underlying table.Children may have a parent This is just by way of example.So, the combo box's Value is bound to ChildID, and the SelectedValue is bound to the ParentID.On the form one chooses the Parent with this combo box.When I test this arrangement, I select a Parent, then click Save (using the default toolbar actions). However, the combobox seems to "reset" the selection to the first in the list.
I started a Windows app using all code for database connection and validation. However, it was always losing the formatting that I had set at run time. So I thought I would use the long tedious process of using all of the studios objects with minimum code.
I am now at the position where I am mostly happy with the layout and how this operates. However, I want to be able to add a non-databound value to a databound combo box. I have set the properties for the combo box in the combo box tasks.
Also, I want to add the ability for the user to update that table that is bound to this control, when a value is not in the list. I know that there is a NotInList event in Access, but I can not find it in VB.Net. I did get so far with updating from the combo box using the Leave event. However, when the database was updated the control could not find the ID in the Clients table to save to the Quotes table.
I am new to VB and seeking to create a visual basic program which controls the display of several on-screen elements depending on a single value input by a user. The user can enter anyone of 2500 values and depending on the value entered, five different display elements on the screen will change color or text. The program's response to a given input value never changes, in other words if the user enters 279, the five different display items will always be the same. However, there is no real pattern to the display items that would allow for programming an anticipated response to the input value.
My thinking is to create a large and ponderous "lookup table" in visual basic - I am assuming this an be done but perhaps there is a different or better method. I plan on creating the lookup file in Excel but was assuming I'd need to export it to something that VB could easily read. Any suggestions on the best way to do this? Does the lookup table reside as a separate .txt files someplace or something like that? [Code]
I have achieve to populate my combobox from sql and from this combobox to populate a textbox but now I have to do something more complicated.I would like to populate a combobox from an other combobox choice. And what i mean is that I have a table with Streenames and Postcodes. What I want to do is fistly to choose the Streetname from the one combobox and the interface to appear the Postcodes to the second combobox. Secondly, the postcode combobox should appear more than one postcodes because it is probable that the same streetname maybe belongs to more than one region(postcode).
For some reason, it seems that the outer block doesn't seem to update recursively, as I expected it to. I want the loops to add all directories within "C:UsersDrise"to the array internaldirs(). Any advice on the correct way to do this, as it seems I'm doing it improperly?
Static internaldirs() As String internaldirs.add("C:UsersDrise") For Each internaldir As String In internaldirs
I wrote a program which is editing data from database. I used few tutorials (I`m beginer) and everything is working fine(I can make changes in datagrid). but when I`m trying to save changes made in dataset(e.g. save added record) I can not to that (there are no changes in my access database, but inly in datagrid)what is interesting when I delete record - changes are saved and record is deleted from db. where is my mistake? what is wrong? maybe some tips what can I improve in this small program?
