View 2 RepliesI have been struggling to find an answer to this problem:
I have a datagridview1 with 10 columns, 0-9
0-8 are for text, such as name, address, email
the 9th is a dollar amount. I want to sort the whole datagridview by this amount. But, what is happening is that when I click on the column it sorts the values out like this[code]...
Brand new to VB 2008 Express, but have done some work in VB 6. Not sure what I'm missing, but here goes. I have two comboboxes linked to an Access 2007 database. One box lists the names of the States in the US.
This is what I used for the Table Adapter Configuration Wizard for the combobox "State" SELECT ST_UID, ST_NAME FROM STATE
For the combobox County I used: SELECT ST_UID, CTY_NAME FROM COUNTY ST_UID is an Integer.
I created a label with a bound value to STATE.ST_UID so that when a user selects the name of a state from the State box the appropriate ST_UID populates the label, (i.e, California has an ST_UID = 5).
The problem is when a state is selected, I only want the Counties for that state to appear in the County box, i.e, COUNTY.ST_UID = 5 if California is the selected state.
I then tried to convert the value in the st_uid label to an integer:
CODE:
This is what I last tried when again using the Table Adapter Configuration Wizard for the table that populates the County box: SELECT ST_UID, CNTY_NAME FROM COUNTY Where ST_UID = 'StUID' Order By st_uid, cnty_name
What I'm getting is a "Data type mismatch in criteria expression." I'm sure my error is something so simple.
I have data in my combobox1 and was wondering if it would be possible to sort the data in the combobox alphabetically? I have spent ages trying to find the answer by searching the forum but couldnt find anything,

I list folders in my combobox but I'm trying to sort the folders alphabetically and then numerically or vice versa.
My coding to populate my combobox is
With Combobox1.DataSource =
(From folder In New IO.DirectoryInfo("Path").GetDirectories
Select (folder.Name)
).ToArray
End With
Is it possible to sort the combobox?
I have folders that are numbered like 1, 50, 115, 189 etc.
These should display as
1
50
115
189
however they display as
1
115
189
50
I need to have a CSV get sorted alphabetically before/during/after it gets filled to a combo box. What I have is a text file with a list of company codes, and company names in the following format:
companycode,companyname the code below loads the CSV and then fills a combo box with each value. When a user selects the company name from the combo box, the corresponding company code is loaded into a text box and used to upload a file to a sepcific directory based on customer. I've looked at ways of sorting comboboxes, and presorting the CSV before loading, but is there a way to do it during the importing/datafill?

i would like to sort the information inputted on the textbox and make it appear on the listview of another form by using the combobox. like if i inputted my Surname, First_Name and Middle_Name and i chose the "Full" item for my paytype with the id number "txtid" and the "yearlevel". they are all inputted using the textbox except for the yearlevel and paytype. they all should appear on the listview of another formand i click the save button, my surname, first name and middle name, txtid and yearlevel will appear on the listview of my full_pay form.
if paytype.text="full" then
'my information will go to the full_pay form
elseif paytype.text="installment" then
'my information will go to the ins_pay form
I have a ComboBox with several items from C1 --> C999. And I would like to ascend the combobox to be easy to manage, so I set True for Sorted Properties. However, the problem comes after that is for example, it shows C11 --> C110 --> C12, etc. I believe because it counts from left to right. So how can I solve this problem.
View 4 RepliesHi,I´m trying to build a form that allows user to choose if he want the combo-boxes sorted or not. The comboboxes are filled when form is loaded, when user clicks on checkbox (chkSortList) then I want the comboboxes to be re-arranged. Can anyone give a hint how to do that ? Tried cmbMerk.Refresh(), cmbMerk.Update() ... but the sort-order do not change. I can re-load the items to the combo-boxes but is there a better way to do it ?

I am new to the forum and to VB, and not great at coding in general.I am learning, and this site as well as others have helped me get farther than I ever imagined. Second, my project is purely for my benefit, so I can learn.There is no corporate or school related goal here, just trying to learn.So the title is a summary of what I want to do. I have a form with a combo box that has five different choices, and below it, a checked list box. What I want is the collection inside the checked list box to change depending on what I select in the combo box above it.For instance, I have room 1 - 5 in the combo box, and the the checked list box below it, I have the furniture associated with that room.The eventual goal is to have this form populate a database, that allows the checked furniture to be recorded in a record.
I assume I need to use a db, such as access, to list the "furniture" in each room, and have a different table for each room, where the combo box selection will populate the checkedlistbox from the appropriate tables contents.I need a step by step on this, because I am a bit of a brick. Most tutorials are also done in VB 6 or VB 2008, and there have been steps missing in association to VB 2010.
How can I improve this bit below to make the items in the TreeView to sort faster or something totally different to sort them easier?

I am trying to create a code where I placed sets of numbers in an array.I'll use a masktextbox to have the user enter the numbers to match what's in the array. If the user enters the number, ex: social, and the data is correct (matches the numbers in the array), something happens if the number entered in the masktextbox does not match any of the number sets in an array then another thing happens.The masktextbox so far only validates format and gets number only, however, I want the number entered to match whats in the array.
