Populate A ComboBox With Printer Names?

Jul 2, 2009

I use the following code to populate a ComboBox with printer names.

Dim ps As PrinterSettings.StringCollection = PrinterSettings.InstalledPrinters
For i As Integer = 0 To ps.Count - 1
Me.CurrentPrinter.Items.Add(ps.Item(i))
Next

When the uses selects a printer from the ComboBox I then need to set a PrintDialog.PrintQueue to the PrintQueue that corresponds to the select name (which is a string). Here's the code I tried that's not working.

Dim dlg As New PrintDialog()
dlg.PrintQueue = GetPrintQueueFromCombo()
dlg.PrintVisual(canvas, "AlignPrinterSampleForm")

Populate A ComboBox From User List?

Jan 6, 2011

I want to populate a Combo Box with a list of names and from that have the contact information (address, phone, email, ect..) populate a series of textboxes. The list is roughly 20 names, but it could grow to a hundred or more. Since the contact information changes periodically, I would like a very easy way to maintain it (Excel or Access).

Update: I am just trying to understand whether I should use Linq (have to learn it) or is there some other way this should be done.

C# - Populate ComboBox Edit Field With ValueMember But Show DisplayMember In The List?

Oct 12, 2011

I have an editable ComboBox with a validation on the Text property to make sure manually entered info is valid.EDIT: All I want to do is populate the .Text property with the ValueMember of a selection rather than the DisplayMember I also have the .Items populated with valid entries having the DisplayMember and ValueMember set.My DisplayMember is a caption along with the data, and the ValueMember is the data itself.So Items might be:

(DisplayMember, ValueMember)
"Foo - 1ab2" , "1ab2"
"Bar - 3cd4" , "3cd4"

I had a validation on the text which can also validate manual user input like "5ef6" The problem I'm having is that if the user selects an item from the combobox it populates the text field with the DisplayMember property (ex: "Foo - 1ab2") which will fail validation.I have tried to manually set the .Text property with the SelectedValue or the SelectedItem.Value on each of the three relevant combobox events to no avail.I would like that the .Text of the ComboBox get populated with the .ValueMember of the item when selected rather than the .DisplayMember

EDIT: I cannot validate by trying to extrapolate the value from the caption. I send the Text off to a service to be validated.

void FillMyCombo
{
KeyValuePair<string, string> listValue1 = new KeyValuePair<string, string>("Foo - 1ab2" , "1ab2")
KeyValuePair<string, string> listValue2 = new KeyValuePair<string, string>("Bar - 3cd4" , "3cd4")

[code].....

The user can manually enter something like "5ef6" which will pass validation.But when they select an item from the list, rather than manually entering it, the .Text property gets filled with the caption and not the value ... so it will contain "Foo - 1ab2" and that will fail validation. I cannot change the validation method to "infer" the value from the caption. I have no control over that service. All I'm after is the displayed value EDIT: Say a user selects "Foo - 1ab2" from the dropdown list, I want the text in the box to say "1ab2" EDIT: I have also tried to set the .Text property in code but I can't seem to make it work in any of the ComboBox events. how to programmaticly set the .Text property (and make it commit!) on a selection event they will also answer this question.

VB Code Case Statement - Added A List Box With A List Of Names

When I run the code I am getting the MessageBox but it will state "UserName favorite color is " but does not show the color.

Reading File Names And Filling A ComboBox?

Sep 15, 2011

I tried the code below but unfortunately, all i get is a combobox with U,s,e,r,s, as each line in the items collection and not the filenames of the relevant files.

the DirGetPath("Users") Function below returns my default document and application paths and appends "Users" to the end as the relevant files are stored in that Folder.

All I get is a combo box with the items as U, s,e,r,s (i.e. Users spelled out).

I tried all of the following as alternative methods too:

System.IO.Path.GetExtension()
System.IO.Path.GetFileName()
System.IO.Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension()
