I have a combobox and have 10 items in it (Name of countries). I want to make the users life easy so that when they click inside the combobox and start writing then the text box will start predicting the rest of the text in the combo box. i.e. if i start writing "U" then the textbox will start predicting "UK" as "UK" is already a pre-populated item in the combobox.
How can I restrict the user from selecting only values within the pre-populated items of the combobox. Bearing in mind the combobox allows the user to write inside it (for the benefit of predictive text). But lets say there are values of UK, USA then I dont want the combobox to accept the value of "Ukraine" when the user clicks away from the combobox.
How to query a record in vb.net using combo or textbox via linq to sql like the search engine? Just like when you search in google or youtube, once you typed in the initial string on the textbox or combo box it will show a drop-down list. I tried to use it in my application using linq method but the problem is it would duplicate on the first string that you entered on the dropdownlist if that record exist on your database after you press the space key. I used the code below which duplicates the records on the drop-down list when you type in your string after the space key.
I just want it to be like in any search engine that when you type in the string or your initial string, it will display on the drop-down list all the records from the database that contains the string you entered without duplication. In my case, I'm trying to query a name from my database. This is how it should work, For example, if you type an initial string in the textbox or combo box a named 'Mark', it should display all the names from the database containing 'Mark' into the drop-down list before it changes into its final string that you entered.
Here is the codes I used: Private Sub ComboBox1_TextChanged(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles ComboBox1.TextChanged Dim db As New MultipleDatabaseOperationDataContext Dim search As String search = ComboBox1.Text [Code] .....
I have three dropdowns, which are all loaded in the same function. How do I grey out dropdown 2 & 3? I want them to activate if a certain choice is made on dropdown 1.
I created a Windows Form application that used a Webrowser control to automate the process of entering data into a website. One of the tasks included selecting a server name from a dropdown menu (SELECT tag). I was able to get a collection of all of the OPTION tags and use HTMLElement.SetAttribute("selectedIndex","indexVal ue") to select the server I needed.The website recently went through a redesign and now there are no OPTION tags. It appears that the values for the SELECT tags are added by JavaScript dynamically. I have tried using HTMLElement.SetAttribute("selectedIndex","indexVal ue") directly, but I am unable to select what I need.
Urgh, I have spent the last couple of hours on this now. I normally end up finding the answer from a bit of Googling, but not with this one. Bit of a headache.
My questions:How can I catch when a user clicks the dropdown arrow on a combobox and prevent the dropdown list from being displayed.How can I then clear and populate the dropdown list and display it programmatically?
I have one agent program remotely connected to a server over the internet. When you click the dropdown arrow on the agent, it queries the server to determine what needs to be in the dropdown list. It then displays the dropdown list. The comboboxes act as filters for the subsequent comboboxes on the GUI. A delay in displaying the dropdown list is perfectly acceptable while retrieving the data. Initially querying all the possibly entries in the dropdown list is not an option because there are so many! Needs to be comboboxes compared to listboxes as the user may also type an entry that is not in the list.
I am using VB.net 2005. I have a DataGridView with several columns. One of the columns is a ComboBox. What I want to happen is when I populate the DataGridView by binding it with the DataTable I want the ComboBox item that is in the DataTable field to be the one that is shown as selected in the drop down. Then if the user wants to change the value they select a different one from the DropDown (and I will perform some update action). My code displays the correct DataTable item in the ComboBox, but the ComboBox will not drop down so a different item can be selected.
This is the code where I set up the ComboBox in the Form_Load and add all the possible items that can be in the DataTable Destination field. c10 = New DataGridViewComboBoxColumn c10.Name = "Destination" c10.DataPropertyName = "Destination" c10.MaxDropDownItems = 5 c10.Items.Add(" ") [Code] .....
For this project I am using Visual Basic in Visual Studio Professional 2008 and SQL 2005 Express.
I have a table in SQL 2005 Express with 4 columns. These are ID, ProductCode,ProductDescription and Price all included in a dataset called ProductsDateSet. The ID column is obviously an integer and the primary key. The ProductCode and Description are both nvarchar(50) and the price is a money column.The table is called Products.
Initially this DataSet is used to enter product information into the database in Form1 but it is also used on a second VB Form (Form2) resembling a sales invoice. [code]...

I've created an ownerdraw ComboBox (used as DropDownList only) in Visual Basic .NET 2010. I inherited ComboBox and set DrawMode to OwnerDrawVariable. The control itself and the dropdown items are drawn with Paint and DrawItem.
The control works fine so far, but there is one thing i was unable to change: When i click on the combobox to open the dropdown area, this new area has a very bright border color (nearly white) which I want to change to black. I've uploaded an image of the current control and how I want it to look like:

I have a data grid on my form with 6 columns. 5 of the 6 are combobox fields. When just looking at the datagrid all the drop down buttons on the left really clutter up the grid. Does anyone know a way to hide the drop down button on the combo box until the time the user actually clicks in the cell. I have tried changing the style to flat which helps but I would rather it wasn't visible at all until the user is actually in the cell.
net/watin application and I am trying to select and item from a combobox on a client's website. I can use watin to drop the list down and select (highlite) an item from the list but the selected item will not populate the textbox above. It seems like watin's .select() is not triggering an event to fire.I can work around this by writing in the first letter of the item in the combobox and use the hypertext feature to select the item but this is not ideal.
