Function To Return A List For A Dropdownlist Or Combobox?
Aug 27, 2009
I have written a function before to delete and update records, but never anything to return values back to my call of the function. Here is my code, and I will try to explain what I'm trying to acheive.
If Not Att1 = "" Then
Attribute1.Text = Att1
Attribute1.Visible = True
ComboBox1.Visible = True
[code]....
That codes goes on up to att20. It works just fine, but it is forever long, and I would like to clean it up.I want to do something like:
Or, should I pass the combobox number also, so that the code can fill the appropriate combobox? Like.comboboxfill(Att1,Combobox1) how to write the function and how to pass back the information or just how to make it work in general?

Update: I didn't make it clear but I meant this to be a question about where/how I would use a function to return a list of strings when I'm trying to just work with classes.I have a class called Account.
I have data access class called AccountDAO.I have various functions that return lists of objects like GetAllAccounts, GetAccountByID etc.I want to populate a drop down list with just the account names and nothing else. It's proving rather slow when using lists of objects and databinding them to the dropdownlist.
I feel like I should be using a simple "Select Account_Name From blah" type statement and returning a list of strings but I don't know how to work this into my class and data access class.

I want the Function to accept List(Of String), Array & String and similarly return List(Of String), Array & String respectively. The Function simply adds a string (month) to the input collection. I just want to use it for string, array and list with needing to think of conversions.

I'm working on a program dealing with jagged arrays.Code is below.The FindPath() function works perfectly.It essentially randomly chooses an action from 3 possible choices.The goal of this function is to make it to position (3,3) from (0,0).Sometimes it makes it, sometimes it doesn't.It gives up after 2000 moves.
The PushButton() function is where I have the problem.I want to run the FindPath() function 2000 times, and return the resulting list of moves into intLists()(), my jagged array.I want to use
intRuns = 0
For intRuns = 0 To intLists.GetUpperBound(0)
lstMoveList.Items.Add(intLists(intRuns).GetUpperBound(0)) 'here is where I get the problem.
this section of code to dump the number of attempts it took into a listbox on the main window.I do this at the bottom of the FindPath() function, but that is for testing purposes only.I eventually want to take the successful attempts and manipulate those, so eventually I get the minimum possible number of movements to get from the starting point of (0,0) to the ending point of (3,3).
Function PushButton()
Dim intRuns As Integer
Dim intLists(2000)() As Integer[code]...............

I am using the following method to set a value to ComboBox1 whose dropdown type is set to dropdownlist:
ComboBox1.Items.Clear()
ComboBox1.Items.Insert(0, "ABC")
ComboBox1.SelectedIndex = 0
Is there any other and better way to do it?

i have an app that has many suggest append comboboxes in the style of just straight dropdown.
I also clear the text in all of these draopdowns via resettext() in a loop when my user clicks a 'New' button
is there any way to either A:
make the combobox read only (without selecting dropdownlist)
or B:
allow suggest append to fire on all keystrokes instead of only when it sees a match in the combobox....
example: combobox1 contains the following items:
- apples
- oranges
- bananas
as of right now, if my user types in "pears" it won't see any 'P' and won't suggest anything else or even drop down the combobox and allow "Pears" to be entered and because my app does processing only on the items in the list, "pears" then throws an exception....I'm trying to force them to choose only the items in the list and not be allowed to enter anything else while still enjoying the clean look of a resettext() on a combobox

I have a combo box on my application (working with VB.net) called CmbAttendantstatus. I have sent the dropdownstyle = dropdownlist at the Properties level of the combobox.
There are 200 field types e.g;
Current Attendant
Ever Attendant
Never Attendant etc
The issue is I can only select one from the list, fine, but I want to be able to type the first letter on the combobox and it takes me to the nearest field type rather than looking through the entire drop list. For example I want Never Attendant, I just need to type N and the drop list takes me to anything starting from N and if I add E for example any field starting with NE shows up for selection. Presently, when the dropdownlist is selected you are not allowed to type anything...

Just so it's known, this question is mostly academic, even though I tried to use the concept in a real-world solution. I realize the example is contrived, but I believe the concept is valid.I want to write some fluent code like this:
[code]...
I realize that I can't force an anonymous type into a specific type (like implementing an interface or some other class), and I don't want the overhead of defining a specific class just to match my desired fluent name with the actual method name. So I was able to make the code work like this:
copy(my_first_file).to.Invoke(my_second_file)So there is no IntelliSense or type awareness there, and I have to include the Invoke in order to have the method run. How can I get more type safety and exclude the Invoke method, under these constraints: Anonymous Type returned from Method No additional classes or interfaces Preferably, I do not want to pass in another parameter to the copy() method that tells what type to return, unless copy becomes a generic method (but I think that means defining another class/interface, which I don't want to do)

i want to create a dropdown list which depend on each other. as example. the 1st dropdown list will let the user to select the type between sector or subsector.
select type: 1) sector
2) subsector
if the user choose sector, the sector value will be appear in the dropdownlist
select sector: 1)technology
2) trading
3) industrial
but if the user choose subsector, the subsector value will be appear in the dropdownlist
select subsector: 1) computer
2) utilities
3) consumer
i try to use the hide code but it turns out to be error. i think because of the data overloading.

Seems most of the examples I find are c#, so in some cases I'm left scratching my head... to make a long story short, I'm simply trying to output the selectList of items to a drop-down within my view:
My ViewModel:
Imports System.Web
Imports Whitebox.UI
Namespace ViewModels
[Code]...
All I'm trying to do now is simply output my "SelectList" within a HTML.DROPDOWNLIST() in my view.When doing a step through, my list items are showing within my "Return view(viewmodel)" watch, but I'm stuck with performing the output.

I have a checkbox in my application,when the checkbox is checked then i want to fetch the data from the database and add it to the dropdownlist of the combobox.Again when the checkbox is unchecked then i want to ramove all the data from the dropdownlist of the combobox.
I did this
Private Sub CheckBox1_CheckedChanged(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles CheckBox1.CheckedChanged
If CheckBox1.Checked = True Then
con = New OleDbConnection("Provider=Microsoft.Jet.Oledb.4.0;Data Source=Etech.mdb")
[CODE]...
When the checkbox is checked then the data is added from the database to the dropdownlist of the combobox but when i uncheck it then the data is not removed from the dropdownlist of the combobox. In the above code i think i need to add an else condition to remove the data from the dropdownlist of the combobox and make it empty when the checkbox is unchecked.......but i cant give the proper else condition in the above code.

That was probably bad title, but I'll illustrate what I'm trying to do. I have a method in a class that I need to call several times. The method returns a List(Of String). I'm just grabbing some information from a database.

In my project when someone logs in I refresh the overhead and side menus. My overhead menu is an extended menustrip component that I have made. I am able to clear the menu, reload it dynamically but I am not able to add/insert the open windows which are managed by the mdiwindowlistitem property. These are the items named "1 - form name " "2 - form name" etc.
I have been able to copy the whole dropdown list, and with some very hacky loop work I can take out everything but the items related to the forms. But when I add them back in, they are not on my list. The related forms are still open and if you click the maximize button to shrink a open child window, and then re-maximize that same window...the items magically show up in the list.
This ManageMenus sub is called during a login change. If you breakpoint on "openwindowslist" after it is returned with data, it has the proper entries and nothing extra. It just seems that the for/each add loop does not actually add the items. Or, if it does add them, I can't see them.
Tried both insert and add functions, same results both ways.
CODE:
In my xmlMenuStrip component this is the function that removes everything but what follows the seperator. It returns them in a list.
The format of the full window menu is:

I am new to vb.net and I am using visual studio 2010. I have two comboboxes on a form, each combobox is set to DropDownList so that a list of items can show in the combobox, but no text is allowed to be entered.
For combobox A, if user chooses item 1, the list of combobox B should be updated accordingly. I think this is quite common on a lot of applications. But I do not know to implement it. I even do not know the keyword to search for the relevant property or event handler.

I'm making a combobox on a form. I want the combobox to have a list of choices from a table in a db. The two columns are a String and a Date. I want the date column to only show the year. I'm hoping I have the code right as it is above, but I'm not positive I've done the whole date thing right.

take a look at the following Code:

Dim d As Date
[Code]....
The Funtion ZZNull always returns Nothing, so IsNothing(d) in the calling method should evaluate to True.
But it does not !
When you run these lines, then you will see that IsNothing(d) evaluates to False

So the program I am writing validates the controls on the page on button_click.
I want to write a function which checks which step the program is at (0-7) then return something depending on whether or not it validated.
My plan was to return the control which was not valid.
Private Function ValidateInputs() As Control
Select Case wizardStep
Case 0
[Code].....
1. could I return the names off all the controls which did not validate?
2. should I be returning a control type or would something like a string be better?
