Dynamic Drop Downs In VB 2008?
Mar 30, 2012
I have an application which is using a set of three combo boxes. I have managed to populate each drop down depending on the selected value of the previous one The only problem is that, since the data is coming the database two selected values from the first combo box may have two different number of items in the database. so the second combobox should be populated with such data each time the selectedIndex_changed nethod of the first combobox is invoked
if for example, the first combo box's first item has 10 corresponding items in the second combo box and a first combo box's second item has three corresponding items in the second combo box, selecting the second item after selecting the first item will lead to second combobox showing the three items and seven empty entries trailing after the three.
What I want is to have the second combobox loaded with three items exactly when the second item in the first combo box has three items in the database
here is an example
Private Sub cboAccountGroup_SelectedIndexChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles cboAccountGroup.SelectedIndexChanged
If mblnAccountGroupFirstLoad = True Then
Exit Sub
[Code]......

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 need to represent the following query using LINQ:
DECLARE @PurchasedInventoryItemID Int = 2
DECLARE @PurchasedInventorySectionID Int = 0
DECLARE @PurchasedInventoryItem_PurchasingCategoryID Int = 3
DECLARE @PurchasedInventorySection_PurchasingCategoryID Int = 0
[code]....
Now, I know that a query in .NET doesnt look like this, this is my test in the SQL Design Studio. Naturally VB.NET variables will be used in place of the SQL local variables.My problem is this: All of the conditions after "WHERE" are optional. In that a query might be made that uses one, some, all, or none of the conditions. V.PropertyID and V.Value can also appear any number of times.In VB.NET I can make this query easy enough by simply concatenating strings, and using a loop to append the "V.PropertyID/V.Value" conditions.I can also make a Stored Procedure in MS SQL, which is easy enough.However, I want to accomplish this using LINQ.

Ive managed to dynamically create a form, and dynamically create a timer, but i have not been able to create the timer on the dynamic form. Specifically, i need to be able to have the timer itself create another form with a timer. (I realize that this would create a new form every interval on the timer, that is what i want to do)
1. A way to add the timer to the dynamic form, and maintain the timer sub on my main form.
2. A way to create the whole thing over (dynamic form and timer) through the previous dynamic form and timer.
I was thinking i could use a collection/array to store the forms and timers, but i'm still having trouble figuring out how to add entire forms or timers into a list. (A timer is not considered a control, so i cant use a controlcollection...)
Heres my code;
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
Dim frm As New Form
[Code]....
*EDIT* Btw, my idea was to use i as a variable that increases every time a form is created, then insert the form into the array, with i as the integer. i just need to know how to create a new form with a different name each time. (as with timers)

I am trying to figure out a way to include the listview's tag field when dragging one listview's subitems into another listview. I am hoping someone here has experience with this. My Listview drag code is below - the two listviews that I am dragging subitems into or from are LV1 and LV3. Also, this is being done in Visual Basic 2008 and the project is a windows application.

I am trying to polish up a program a program that I have converted from a Windows Form in to an ASP.NET Web Application. I have several questions:
1.) I have a drop down box where users can select their variables, but users can also enter their variables manually into various text fields. What I want is for the drop down box to show a string like "Choose Variables" when ever the user enters their variables manually. I want this to happen without having to reload the page.
2.) In the Windows Form version of this application I had a RichTextBox that populated with data (line by line) after a calculation was made. I used "AppendText" in my Windows Form, but that is not available in ASP.NET, and neither is the RichTextBox. I tried to use just a text box but that isn't working right.

I have been given an assignment which is to program a working payroll system in Visual Basic 2008.I have done most of it but I am stuck at the arrays.I would like my system to store all the staff name that the user adds on the system into a single Array for example in EmployeeNames(50). For example if the user enters a new staff in the textbox name and confirms it by clicking on a button, I would like that staff name to be stored into my Array EmployeeNames(50).

I'm using a masked text box control. It has a property, ValidatingType, that is not available at designtime so it doesn't appear in the properties window of the IDE. The IDE has two drop-downs where you can select an object in your project on the left drop-down and see the associated members on the right drop-down.
My question is: Why, if I select my masked text box control on the left drop-down, don't I see the ValidatingType property on the right drop-down? All the events for the text box appear, why not the property members as well? Perhaps because it only shows properties that I code for an object?

I have been able to implement drag and drop successfully on my listView object if you were to drop a file on it, however I seem to be having some troubles if the user were to drag the folder onto the object. Is there a simple way to check if the user dropped a folder, and if so, list all of the files in the folder/subfolders?

I'm working on a small utility program and found that I have a need to copy the contents of listboxes, textboxes and other control from one to another.
I just started playing around with Drag and Drop but it seems lacking a bit...for instance, if I wanted to drag the contents of a listview to a text box, it doesn't look like I can do that easily if at all.
Can you use a drag and drop to copy the contents of different control types easily?I thought about using the drag and drop method for notification of the intent to copy the contents and then I would code the copying.
The idea (although I know it will be slow but that is okay for this utility) to copy the source to a textbox and then from the textbox to the target. The content won't be that large and speed is not a concern at this point.
Here is my issue if I have to do it this way.
1 - How can I use the control names to do this?
2 - How do I get the target control name?
I figured I would create a function that I would pass the source control name and the target control name and based on type, perform the appropriate method of copying the data.
I haven't figured out a way to get the target control name. I can use activecontrol.name for the source.

I am trying to implement a DnD interface where the user drags a button onto a DGV & a new row would be inserted at the drop point.

vb 2008 compared to 2003 is the ability to drag controls onto the web form and place them where I want.With 2008, the form places the control to the left and I have to tab, space, set-up tables or similar techniques to get the control exactly where i want it. Is there a way to make the web form in 2008 work like the one in 2003?Other then this one oversight, I enjoy all other aspects of vb 2008.

i have a toolstripsplitbutton, and i want the drop down items to showhide when you click the button not just when the mini arrow is clicked so i call toolstripsplitbutton.ShowDrowDown on the event toolstripsplitbutton.click and to hide, i can call toolstripsplitbutton.HideDropDown but i can't seem to find any property that would indicate whether the toolstripsplitbutton is currently dropped down or hidden..i did not expect this to be this hard but i can't seem to find any indicator of whether or not the list is dropped down.
