I have some text boxes in my form that takes data and saves the data to the database. There is a combo box at the bottom of the page that loads data from a specific field of a database. when I enter and save the new data (using the textboxes), the combobox doesn't show the newly entered data. I tried to refresh the combobox using code like combobox.refresh, me.refresh etc, to refresh the form but nothing is working the combobox only display the new data when I close the form and reload the form again. anyway, the data loading in the combobox is done using datasource, displaymember, valuemember in the properties. So, how can I make the combobox show the just added record (field)?
I have a program where a user can select something from a combo box in a data grid view control. I have it so that they can add something to the combo box via input box. The new item would automatically show up in the combo box at the bottom.
Now the problem is with deletion. I have it so that a user will click delete and a dialog box will pop up with the combo box. There a user will select an item and click delete. The item deletes just fine from the db but it doesn't update the combo box on either the delete dialog box or the datagridview. The only time it shows deleted is when I exit the program and reload.
Here is my load event that populates everything.
Public Sub LoadData() Try Dim cmTasks As New SqlClient.SqlCommand("Select * from Tasks where Department_ID =
I just had a question because I cannot seem to find the answers anywhere on the internet... also we are not upto this part in class yet.. Say I have 2 combo boxs... cmb1 and cmb2.. both are datasets from an access table.. how do I make it so cmb2 refreshes based on the value of cmb1? eg; if cmb1 is say, period 1, then i want cmb2 to only show results bases on items I have in period 1?
The ComboBox Items collection is an ObjectCollection, so of course you can store anything you want in there, but that means you don't get a Text property like you would with, say, a ListViewItem. The ComboBox displays the items by calling ToString() on each item, or using reflection if the DisplayMember property is set.
My ComboBox is in DropDownList mode. I have a situation where I want to refresh the item text of a single item in the list when it gets selected by the user. The problem is that the ComboBox doesn't re-query for the text at any time besides when it loads up, and I can't figure out how else to do what I want besides removing and re-adding the selected item like so:
PlantComboBoxItem selectedItem = cboPlants.SelectedItem as PlantComboBoxItem; // ... cboPlants.BeginUpdate(); int selectedIndex = cboPlants.SelectedIndex;
[Code]....
This code works fine, except for the fact that my SelectedIndex event ends up getting fired twice (once on the original user event, and then again when I re-set the property in this code). In this case, it's not a big deal that the event is fired twice, but it's inefficient, and I hate that. I could rig up a flag so it exits the event the second time, but that's hacking.
I have a Main form (a window form) in VB.NET which has a Combo Box to display a list of countries. A sub form activated from a "Button" on the Main form allows users to add Countries to their list. But After Adding a new entry the Combo Box on the Main form does not show the update (while it is still open). I have to exit the main form and relaunch it to see the update.
The populate function in shown below. I call this method after adding new countries but still; not good. I have used Invalidate function of combo box but of no use as well.
Public Sub PopulateCountry() Dim rsLocal As New ADODB.Recordset Try
I have a datagridview bound to a bindingsource. This datagridview contains one column which is a combo-box.
Upon a click on a button,I change the underlying datasource. The selected values of the combo-boxes change.
But the change doesn't appear on the screen ! To make the changes visible (refresh each combo-box), I have to hover on the datagridview with the mouse or use the scrollbar !
Question 1 : why do I see this ?
Question 2 : what should I do to make the changes immediately visible ?
I have a form that remains open while running an application. The user can open multiple instances of a form to edit customer information. After editing and exiting an instance of the Customer form I want the form with the buttons to refresh and show the changes. Basically the form show the availability of storage units, green rented, yellow available and red is late payment. Right now I am acheiving this by closing and opening the button form when I exit the Customer form. This works but there must be a better way to do this.

Just to try and make what I'm asking clearer, it's not the ForeColour or the BackColour that I'm wanting to change but the colour that's shown by the mouse when you move it over the combo box items.
