I'm using VB 2005 and have an Edit - Entry form with Textboxes and several Comboboxes. I populate the Comboboxes with Arraylists as shown below. I populate a datatable with the Employee data from my SQL Server. I assign the BindingSource1.Datasource to my Datatable then add Databindings to the ComboControls. The (Fields.STAFF_MGR_ID.ToString) is from an Enum. When all is complete my textbox fields Bind and move with the MoveNext.. no problem, but the comboboxes display nothing.

I have this form filled with data using dataset, data adapter 1 Dataset , 8 data adapters Textboxes are ok and binding .. fills by 1 data adapter ComboBoxs are filled by 7 data adapters
The problem is 6 ComboBoxes data is from one table filtered by id1 i.e.: cmb1 : select id2,content from table2 where id1 = 1 cmb2 : select id2,content from table2 where id1 = 2 cmb3 : select id2,content from table2 where id1 = 3 ........ Now how can I bind all ComboBoxs with textboxes?
I would like to create a button that clears textboxes and comboboxes when it is clicked. For example when 'btnClear' is clicked then txtDate gets cleared (i.e. txtDate is 22/05/2000 then when btnClear is clicked it has nothing in it)
I have already tried txtDate = "" and txtDate = Nothing but an error comes up.
I have a windows form on which there is a textbox and a command button. When user inputs an integer in the textbox and clicks on the button, the userform grows and adds that many number of comboboxes and textboxes in a panel.
how to add variable number of comboboxes and textboxes at run time.
I have an edit Contact Form that pulls data from access and loads it into textboxes and comboboxes. The text is working fine, but I am trying to pull a number from the ddatabase and display that value in a combobox that already has selections in it, so the user can edit it. For example the combo box is filled with 1,000,000 - 60,000,000 and if the number in the database is 2,000,000 I wan the combobox to display 2,000,000 Here is the

I have tried selectedtext, selectedvalue, and selecteditem but none of them work because its a number.
i try to make an array of controls and by clicking buttons add new textboxes or comboboxes here is my code
Public Class Form1 Dim CArray() As Control Dim lngArrayNum As Long = 0
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click Add_Control()End Sub Private Sub Add_Control(Optional ByVal intType As Integer = 0)
I need to write client / server application... I need that client write it`s data in textboxes or comboboxes or check any checkboxes and etc. but I need that this info saved not in it`s own computer,on server...
this is a subset of a previously posted problem, I have narrowed down my issue and am reposting a question from this thread: [URL] I have apparently confused the compiler by renaming some comboboxes in Visual Basic .net express? (See relevant code below) I think the confusion is in who should handle what, with two routines named with variations of ComboBox1 and one handling the other ( it confuses me just trying to interpret it mentally):
I have a form with 4 comboboxes and a button. The first combobox is enabled, but the rest of the controls are disabled. When the form is opened I fill the first combobox (cbxMethod) with a datatable. When the user selects something in cbxMethod the next combobox (cbxStudy) will be filled and so on. When the last combobox (cbxAnalyte) has a selected value I want to enable the button and give it focus so the user can move forward with the program. I basically want to force the user to move from one combobox to the other, until all are filled.I am currently using the SelectionValueChange event, but this event only fires when the user changes the value with their mouse or hits the Enter key, not when the user hits the Tab key.

unfortunately searching the web i cannot find a decent example that allows me to loop through a winform to make sure comboboxes items are selected.basically what i would like to do is check the form if the comboboxes have been selected if not then highlight them yellow and set the focus on them.
I have the following problem, a table "table1" contains 10000 telephone numbers, this table is source for 5 combo box contained in a form, I need that when I select the first tel N in the first combo, this number is not any more available for the combo 2, when I select the second number in the second combo, the first 2 numbers of the table 1 are not any more available for the combo 3 etc. Every record (in form) contains 5 combo. The Tel N selected into the combo are source for other table called "table2". I've try with all the type of query between table 1 and table 2, and use the result as source for the combo, I've try with IIf but this is works only for the first combo.
I"ve created a form with three comboboxes and a datagrid. I've connect the comboboxes to the database and they all work but when i try and fill the datagrid based on the final selection from the last commbobox but it will not populate the datagridview..
I need to select all the comboboxes on a form with a for each loop. I have about 19 comboboxes and I need to select each one. I tried to do for each box as combobox in me.controls But that gave me an error and i now tried this: for each box as control in me.controls if box.name.contains("ComboBox") then ... end if next That selected only the comboboxes but the problem is i need to access some data that is specific to comboboxes (aka the selected item(s), if its blank) but those properties are not present since "box" is a control, not a combo box.
I am having trouble getting the Student Name entered in the Student Name Form to change the Text titles of the GroupBox's on the Main Form and Schedule Form. I understand the logic of what needs to be done to some extent, but I am having trouble coming up with the correct coding.
Below is a snippet of the Student Name Form code that I tried most recently just to see if I could get any change to happen to the other 2 Forms when the Accept Name button was clicked. As of yet, I cannot get a change to happen at all in the groupboxes of the other Forms.[code...]
I have spent a long time trying to find a solution for the problem I am having with comboboxes within a child form. I'm sure this must be a Microsoft error and not something I'm doing wrong..The best way to explain the problem would be to tell you what I have done so far:
If you open a new Project in VB and add two Windows Forms. Form1 will be the parent. Form2 will be the child.On Form1 add 1 x panel(Form2 will open up within the panel so make sure the panel is big enough to fit Form2) and 1 x button. The only code needed for this form is:
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
[Code]...
Now run the program and click button1 to open form2 (form2 should now open within panel1).
The comboboxes and textboxes lose some of there functions for example: 1. You cant set focus on combobox without hitting drop-down 2. You cant highlight text properly in either the combobox or textbox. 3. You cant set the cursor index position using your mouse in the combobox or text box.
Does anyone know a way around this?? Mainly for the combobox as I've got some functions working for the textbox.
I have a combobox on my main form and it lists geographical locations that the user creates. How do I make the combo-boxes on the sub forms match the one on the main form?
I have created a form with three comboboxes. means FirstNameComboBox MiddleNameComboBox LastNameComboBox All fields are select ( name ) from a "CustomerName" table. "CustomerName" table is have more than ten thousand records. I am use three binding sources its worked great but it is very slow bcz three comboboxes are filled data on form loading time. I am using visual studio 2010 (visual basic).
i am pulling together a cash register that will allow both bar code product entry and manual key entry.imagine if you have a tin of beans in front of you, in a small corner shop they would probably type "47" and then hit "Produce". Fairly straight forward as I have the button Produce to act upon my code and update my salestrans.mdb but,if you scan the bar code I want the same form to handle both 'real' actions, (i assume that keyboard emulation barcode scanner includes "ENTER" after providing 13 digits)....
Q. in perhaps a long winded way i want to know how to kick off an event based on the "ENTER" key being activiated by the barcode scanner)?i do not want to have to hit any buttons if i am scanning bar codes.
What is the code for ignoring the case of an entry while checking to see if the entry is correct or not... (i.e. in a flashcard program... given definition, asks for the name) I don't want the case of a character to affect whether the answer is correct or not.
I am trying to make a program with a bar code reader for the first time. I am programming with VB 2005. I want to differentiate a bar code entry to keyboard entry. My questions:
1. Does bar code reader generate a keydown (or keypress) event for each of the digits of the entry? For example, if the barcode read: 1234567890, does that mean that there will be 10 keydown (or keypress) events for that single barcode that was read?
2. I have read from the posts that the best way to differentiating keyboard vs bar code input is to analyse the time between keystroke (for less than certain number of milliseconds).
Suppose I have a parameter query called FillByStatus in my "Customer" DataTable and I want to fill the CustomerTableAdapter On Form_Load using this query. So I can do that by using the following code:
Private Sub Form2_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load Me.OrdersTableAdapter.Fill(Me.CustomerOrdersDataSet.Orders) Me.CustomerTableAdapter.FillByStatus(Me.CustomerOrdersDataSet.Customer, "Active") End Sub
Using this tutorial How Do I: Create a One-to-Many Data Entry Form? as a reference Suppose I have a parameter query called FillByStatus in my "Customer" DataTable and I want to fill the CustomerTableAdapter On Form_Load using this query. So I can do that by using the following
Private Sub Form2_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) _ Handles MyBase.Load Me.OrdersTableAdapter.Fill(Me.CustomerOrdersDataSet.Orders) Me.CustomerTableAdapter.FillByStatus(Me.CustomerOrdersDataSet.Customer, "Active") End Sub However, when I do that my related DataGridView (orders) is empty, how do I make it so that doesn't happen?
Im new to this forum and VB Programming. I have installed Visual Basic Express 2008 and SQL Server. The first thing I did was create a new project and within that project created a new sql database. The database I created is to keep a list of clients and I have fields such as client_ID, Firstname..etc The next thing I did was create a data entry form for all the database fields using textboxes. Also 2 buttons named save & cancel. So when the user fills out the client info and clicks on save I want the data to be written to the client table. I know the code has to be written within the save button but I don't know where to start like opening the connection, writing to the database and closing the connection.
I need to create a program that requires password entry. I was thinking of having a form that the user uses to set the password that only opens once (unless a button on the main form is clicked to reset the password.) once the password has been set, the form closes and another opens to enter the password and for each and every time the program is run. Another thing is that if the password has been entered wrong 3 times, the program gives a message box and closes on the ok button.

Im new to VB programing and Im using VB 2008 Express. I have set up two forms (Main and Edit) and I have a datagrid set up on each form. I can make changes to he DB on the edit form, close it, and the main form is updated with the new info. All is well except that Im also trying to enter data directly into the cells on the DataGrid on the main form and I cant. I can select the cell and it highlights it but it wont accept any characters.
