Drop Downbox Only Lists One Item?
Nov 20, 2010
I'm using Visual Studio for the first time and VB. I have programed for awhile, but mostly new to windows related softwares. I have an access database connected to my test application and I am trying to display a drop down box with a listing of the item names in my table and the value that is sent off to my database is the actual item id. I can figure out the database part in terms of adding and editing, but I haven't been able to figure out how to display the full list. If I click the next button the list that is generated it displays the next item, but I would rather just list all items in the drop down box and remove that toolbar all together.

I am fairly new to VB (have done some VB in excell, but its a bit different)
I have a couple of questions:
1) How do I populate a dropdown list from a Database Row 2?
2) When I create a Database from Acess, where do I save the database? and If I build the exe program later on, will it include the database, or how does it work? I feel completely stupid, but one of the best ways to learn is to try over and over again

I'll try to clarify by using the following example. In here I have two Drop down lists (ddlInsertEmployee + ddlInsertCustomer) which should both be bound to fetch data from tables [Employee.EmployeeID] and [Customer.CustomerID] and insert it into table [Task].
The problem is that it inserts data from Employee.Fullname and Customer.Fullname into resp.Employee.EmployeeID and Customer. CustomerID.If I would change the Drop down lists to textboxes, and manually insert the IDs, it works like a charm, but this is not very efficient, I want to be able to see the entire Fullname.how to change my Sqlstring in order to make this work correctly.

Here is my drop down list and data source. My question is.. when is it possible to set a defaulted selected option for the drop down list, aka when have all the dropdownlists been databound and their ListItems populated? I have tried Page_PreRender, age_PreRenderComplete, Page_Load.I have read over MSDN's Page Life cycle event which suggest Page_PreRender.
<asp:DropDownList ID="ddlRampStandard" runat="server"
DataSourceID="RampStandardDataSource" DataTextField="StandardName"
DataValueField="StandardName" RepeatDirection="Horizontal"

I need to show a drop down list when the page loads, the default selected value is nothing, or an empty element (such as "-"). When the user selects one value from the list, another drop down list is added below the first one, and so on.My problem with this is how you make the page to remember the drop down lists created through postbacks and the values they have selected?
EDIT: I did this example for dynamically add drop down lists and suscribe them to an event handler but the event won't fire.
EDIT 2: Changed the code because I labelled for VB.Net and posted something in C#. I update the code with some trivial improvements, but still won't fire the event :(
Private myDdlArray As New List(Of DropDownList)
Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
If (Session("ddl") Is Nothing) Then

I have a series of GridViews in a Tab Panel - databound to a generic List of Business Objects.
The columns in the Gridview are all similar to the following:
<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Company" SortExpression="Company.ShortName">
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:Label ID="lblCompany" runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("Company.ShortName")

I have a couple drop down lists connecting to an Access database. I can get the first drop down list to populate with the departments I have listed under "dept" in my access file. After someone selected a "dept" i want the second drop down list to populate with the names ("name"). Right now the second dropdown list is showing up but isn't poplulating. What am I doing wrong?!? I would like to include a third dropdown list for another selection with a button to then show things from the specific selections. Right now, I just need to figure out how to populate a list upon another lists' selections.

ok, I'm basically trying to make mulitple drop down lists on my form. When the page loads, I can get my main dropdown list, called makelist, to fill in with the items that I want from a txt file.
What I'm trying to do is whenever the selectedindex is changed in makelist, it has to load a different dropdown list, called modellist with items from a different txt file.

I've written a program to work out the flight distance between a set of seven cities around the world using a 2D array but was wondering how I would if possible go about having the values for each city selected via two drop down lists (say start city and destination city).
Public Class frmDistance
Private Sub Flightdist_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
Dim rowcolumn(7, 7) As Integer
Dim sr As IO.StreamReader = IO.File.OpenText("Distance1.Txt")

I have two list boxes. A users selects a value from each, clicks a button and the application creates a relationship between the two selected items by saving them in an array and displaying the relationship in a third list box.
What I want to allow is for users to be able to drag a value from one list box and drop it on top of another value. I have the code to capture the value of the item dragged but I don't see how to capture the item that the data is dropped onto.
Is there a way to capture the targeted selected item?

I've got a couple of drop down lists for languages. I bind them to a language list that comes from a query. Then the fields are also bound to the row in the DB they relate to. I have several panels with the language drop down - each "tied" to a different table in my DB. When I call up different records on the same panel the drop downs immediately "set to the position" of that rows language in the list. But when I call up another panel - tied to another database table - I see that language in the drop down.

I'm using vb.net. Basically, I have a drop down list, text box and a submit button. You choose a movie director from a drop down list, then type in a movie, click button and it adds the data to my database.There's another button which hides/shows drop down list, text box and submit button using Visible = True and Visible = False, but what I don't like about it is when it hides the things I said before, it leaves some white/empty space like if they are still there, but not visible.Is there anyway to put some kind of holder/container and place a button which when clicked could add my drop down list, text box and submit buttons to that place?

I'm writing a program which takes one item from each of two lists and combines the items in one of three ways selected by the user. The results of the process are provided in either a summary form or a detailed form, again selected by the user. As it's currently developing, this program will contain six subroutines covering each of the six combinations of user selections, which are stored in three Booleans. Selection of the appropriate subroutine is done through traditional "if then else" coding.If I understand OO and Visual Basic (Express 2008) correctly, I could make the subroutines into different variations of one method, which when invoked would automagically use the correct coding depending upon the settings of the Booleans / properties. Assuming this is correct, the problem is that I have no idea how to actually set up code like this.

I have a gridview which can be filtered from one or more values in a querystring. That all works great: e.g. "?subject=Maths&authorName=Bond_James&type=Magazine" The values passed to the query string come from 3 drop down lists: Subject, Author, Type.What I'd like is when the user presses "Filter" it will take the selected values from the drop down lists and pass them to the querystring - it could be 1 value, 2, or all 3 (like above).
The drop down lists have an item called "All Subjects" / "All Author" / "All Type" each with a value of -1. The idea being that if the user leaves these items selected then the Filter button just ignores them.
Here is my code so far:
Protected Sub buttonFilterGo_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs) Handles buttonFilterGo.Click
Dim queryString As String
Dim selectedAuthorString As String = "author=" & dropAuthorList.SelectedItem.Value
[code]....
Also, one more thing. How do I get the drop down lists to have the filters selected when the page re loads?
EDIT: I changed the default values of the drop down lists to "" - this leaves the URL looking messy though ?author=&subject=&type= This works, is it the best way?

I have four drop down lists here and I've assigned the datasource and displaymemberproperties so they are populated by a table. When I run the program and select a choice, all four of them get updated with the new choice.

My program populates a drop-down menu with items dynamically at runtime. The items listed are the currently running windows and applications seen in the Windows taskbar. I was wondering if there was a way to retrieve the text of a selected menu item during runtime and use it to set focus to that application or window (which is the text of the selected menu item). I have looked at using the AppActive function to achieve this. I just don't know how to retrieve the text of the dynamically created menu items. Please keep in mind that I am an amateur coder so my code might look stupid. I have tried the following code block with no success:
Private Sub AppActive(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles CurrentlyOpenedWindowsToolStripMenuItem.DropDownItemClicked
AppActivate((Me.CurrentlyOpenedWindowsToolStripMenuItem.DropDown.Items.Item(Text.ToString)))
End Sub
Should I be using the SetForeGroundWindow API instead?

I'm trying to automate a form process from a previous employee. One of the things that I have to do to achieve this is select a COM port from a dynamically populated list. I've looked around and the closest thing I could come up with is something like:
.cbbCOMPorts.SelectedItem(1) =
True
While this compiles, the computer does not like this at run-time. It throws an exception out:
"Object variable or With block variable not set."

I have two (Telerik) TreeView controls, let's call them tvSource and tvDest. I want to drag/drop items from tvSource to tvDest. I have this somewhat working, but am experiencing two problems:
1) What it now does is moving the item. Instead I want them to be copied (from tvSource to tvDest), leaving the item in tvSource.
2) To allow items to be dragged from the tvSource control I have to enable DragDrop. With this enabled the user can drag/drop inside the tvSource control, which is not what I want. The items may only be dragged (copied) to an other control (tvDest).
Below is my code so far:
Private blnMouseIsDown As Boolean = False
Private Sub tvSource_MouseDown(sender As Object, e As System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs) Handles tvSource.MouseDown

i seem to have a problem when i try to select a ComboBox item which is a drop down list. The ComboBox contains a list of various items where the user can select from a list, the type of query he/she would like to perform on an Access Database. Two of the items in the Drop Down List are "Employee Sales Between Specified Weeks" and the other item is "Employee Sales Between Specified Months" (without quotation). Now in my VB code, i have a really long If/ElseIf Statement which includes all the options the user can select. Additionally, if the user has selected a week query, he/she must select a From Week, a To Week and a Year (for example week 3 to week 5 year 2009). From Week is another combobox (1-53 weeks) and To Week is also another ComboBox (1-53).When the user selects a month query, he/she should select a From Month from a ComboBox (1-12) and a To Month from another ComboBox (1-12) and the year from the same Combobox (e.g 2009).

I am new to VB and what I would like is for the user to pick a item from the drop down box and from there; there would be a list that pops up to the side with that users pick list of attacks. I am trying to do this for every item in the drop down box. So, when the user changes character type it automatically changes the list to what the user picked. Below is two pictures one with the ?amazon? picked and the other with the ?sorceress? picked. To give you an example of what I am trying to do. My question is what the best way of doing this?

I have set the combo box dropdown style to dropdown, the auto complete mode to suggest append and the auto complete source to list items. This works fine IF I choose the required item using the mouse. If I type the full item name into the combo box, it is displayed but not selected for use. Is it possible to use a key such as TAB or Return to select the item in the combo box's display area after the drop down window has closed?

I've worked out how to create a DropDownList using the following code: <select id="salesPersonDropList" runat="server"></select> In my .aspx page, then my code behind loops through database output running:
Dim newListItem As ListItem
newListItem = New ListItem("Title", "Value")
salesPersonDropList.Items.Add(newListItem )
What I can't figure out is how to programatically set which of the List Items created is the one to be pre-selected in the rendered DropDownList, ie, how to create what I'd write in HTML as:
