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.
The maximum value of that integer would be 10.
so yesterday this code was working for my userforms and today its not. Its a simple clear command for textboxes and comboboxes. what is from here?
Dim ctl As Control
ForEach ctl In Controls
IfTypeOf ctl Is TextBox Then ctl.Text = ""
IfTypeOf ctl Is ComboBox Then ctl.Text = ""
Next ctl
I'm developing an app that should allow the client to add several content sections to a page (in tabs). However I haven't found a way to easily create a form for editing the tabs.Assume for now that a tab just contains a title. I have a form that adds a tab, that's simple. But I also want a form that displays a text input for each tab and allows the titles to be edited and saved. I'm struggling with two main concepts:How to dynamically display the fields after grabbing the tab data from the database (each tab has its own row in the table).How to loop through the submitted data and update each tab in the database.How to select a particular text field from the number (e.g. given "1", how to select the element with ID "TabTitle_ 1".[code]I thought something like TabTitle[0] would be acceptable and allow for easy looping (as it does in PHP) but it's "not a valid identifier" apparently.It's very possible I have the approach completely on its head.
View 1 RepliesIf i have a variable '12'
and a variable 'hello'
how can i double the '12' each time the variable is used?
What im trying to do is have a textbox which the user writes in a number, the number they enter then determines the amount of times a variable is written in a textbox.
so if the user were to put '3' into the textbox and click go, it would print hello12hello12hello12, how can i increase the number 12?
what i want it to do is look like this when the user presses go: hello12hello24hello36
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 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

View 5 RepliesI have not worked with VB in so long that I might as well be a newb.I know this can be done, and if I remember correctly, it is fairly simple, but for the life of me, I can't remember how.I have a textbox that will be used for entering a number.I have a combobox with a list of precreated options.I need to create the combobox as many times as the number entered in the textbox. Essentially I'm creating a list of items, the number of which is determined by the textbox value, the values of which will be chosen from the comboboxes. This means that the comboboxes all need to be linked as a group with sequential numbering.
View 1 RepliesI am trying to draw textboxes when the user enters the amount of textboxes to be drawn on one form and the textboxes get displayed on the another form. I have found these codes online but it works with inbuilt codes I guess. That is, the number is already hard coded in the form.

I have been setting DataSource for a series of combo boxes to the same table as they all display the same options. However, when I ran the project, any change in any one combo box makes all the others 'flip' to the same selected value. This is obviously wrong.
In Access, you have 'Control Source' which is the db field that is bound to the combo box and 'Row Source' can be a query or whatnot that several combo boxes can run 'independently'.Is there an equivalent option in VB.NET? I DO NOT want to manually enter the exact same options many times as that is hard to maintain, to say the least.
Just to repeat: it is not going to work to say DataSource = Row Source. if two combo boxes are set to the same data source, a selection in one automatically makes the other one select the same value. unless, of course, i am missing something.
I have three comboboxes in a form. The first is the parent of the second, which is the parent of the third. When they are all updated, a datagridview should be updated.
The problem is that the user can choose to change the value of either combobox, so I don't know which combobox's value is being changed. Therefore I now update the datagridview from the third combobox's selectedvaluechanged event. This unfortunately means that if the first combobox is changed, the second and third comboboxes selectedvalue events must trigger. As a consequence, when the first combobox is changed, the datagridview is being updated about six times (which doesn't work for me performancewise).
What I'd like to do is to call the updatedatagridview sub from either one of the three comboboxes, but only if the user has chosen to change that specific combobox's value (that is, get the form to only update the datagridview when the selectedvalues of all three comboboxes have been set).

View 1 RepliesHow I can populate a combobox (combobox2) based on the selection made from another combobox (combobox1)? They are on different forms. Combobox1 lists locations, while combobox2 lists offices for each location. I would like it to work so that when the user clicks on combobox1 and makes a selection, the 2nd form loads with combobox2 showing all the offices for the selected location.
View 6 RepliesI'm trying to detect when the tab key was pressed and intercept it in certain cases. Since the form I'm working with has many fields, I've tried overriding ProcessTabKey so that I don't have a separate sub for each control. However, I've found that after adding a simple ProcessTabKey method, each time I press tab it skips one of the combo boxes. In order to duplicate the situation, using Visual Basic Express 2008, create a new Windows Forms project and add 5 combo boxes to the form - allowing each to automatically get an incrementing TabIndex.
Then add the following code the form:
Public Class Form1
Protected Overrides Function ProcessTabKey(ByVal forward As Boolean) As Boolean
MyBase.ProcessTabKey(forward)
End Function
End Class
Now when you run the project, you'll see that each time you press tab it skips one of the combos.
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.

View 4 RepliesGet lowest number from different TextBoxes?[code]...
Now im looking to get the lowest number in one of the ".checked" TextBoxes and add that number to a new Array.
I heard that you have to add some code to a random number generator
results(1) = Int((5 - 1 + 1) * Rnd() + 1)
so that if it is used again and again it keeps generating new numbers as apposed to what this piece of code does by itself which is creates the same number every time.what is the code?
How can I read data from textbox1 to....n using cycles? Something like this:
1. For n=1 to 50
2. text=textbox_n.text
3. Output=output+text
4. Next
5. Msgbox(output)
The question is in line 2. Syntax "textbox_n.text" is not right. How is it possible to read from textboxes using cycle and variable n?
I am not sure if I should put in a Text Box or not but this is how I thought it might have to go. Textbox1 shows the start time of a procedure and textbox2 shows the endtime of the same procedure. I would like it if the textboxes were in a 12 hour clock showing an am/pm tag on the textbox's. Then in Textbox3 it would show the differance between Textbox1 and Textbox2 in Hours and Minutes.
