How To Fire Event When Making Selection Of Editable ComboBox
Jun 15, 2012
I have a ComboBox that is databound to an ObservableCollection of strings. The ComboBox is also editable, so you can either enter in your own value or select one from the list. The issue I'm running into is the index of SelectedItem seems to be the index of the last item you selected when you've entered in your own value in the ComboBox, though it's -1 when you have IsTextSearchEnabled set to true. The problem is, if someone entered their own value and then decide to instead select the item on the ComboBox that had been selected before, the index doesn't change so the SelectionChange event doesn't fire. How could I get an event to fire in this situation?

I am having a problem with data in a combobox not being refreshed (using VB.net 2005 by the way). Right now I have a windows application with several forms. I have a Template form that contains the cboActivity combobox. This combobox is filled with data from a SQL database. I also have an Activity form. This form allows me to enter new activity information and save it to the database. If I load up the Template form, click the cboActivity combobox, the Fill event is triggered and my combobox is filled with the activity data from the database. But if I leave this form open, go to the Template, add new activity information, and save it...when I go back to the Activity form the combobox has not been update to contain the newly added data. Is there a way I can force the Fill event to fire every time I click the combobox?

I have a program that needs to display a playlist of songs, for a band performing someplace, from a .txt file. The songs in the file are listed as follows:
All You Need is Love-Beatles
Rock
4.25
[code]....
The first line is the song's title and group name. The second is the songs genre. The third line is the songs length, 4.25 is 4 minutes and 25 seconds.upon clicking a button, I need to display a playlist from this .txt file based on the number of minutes the band has to play, minutes entered into a TextBox, and the songs genre, selected from a ComboBox. The songs cannot repeat and must be random.I have already coded the program to read the .txt file but have not clue where to start with the rest.

I have a DataGridView with two columns. One is DataGridViewComboBoxColumn and other is DataGridViewButtonColumn. To capture the button click from the DataGridViewButtonColumn, i have written the CellClick event and it is working fine. However, this is not making my selection from the DataGridViewComboBoxColumn 'smooth'. What i mean is that i have to click on the combo-box twice for it to show the drop-down list. I have noticed that at every click, CellClick is fired. But only after the second click the drop-down pops out. What is the work-around for this?

I have two forms, forms a and b. Each form has a combo box. The user selects an item from form A's combo box and saves their selection to a database by pressing a button. How can I display their combo box selection from form A in form B's combo box on form B's form_load event?

we are using the Enterprise Library data access application block in our data layer for an application. We must be doing something wrong though because we cannot seem to get encryption and the ability to reconfigure connection strings working well. For example, when the application starts, it checks if the connection strings are "Protected", and if they are not, we encrypt them using the following function:
[Code]...
Then comes another issue. If a user installs an update for the application, the first time it runs, nothing can connect if the config file was previously encrypted. A restart of the application (second time running) will fix the issue. with all of the battles we are fighting here, I wanted to ask if we are doing this right? How should we be encrypting and allowing updates. If you need to see the exceptions thrown, I can provide those upon request (will need to change some code to get them again, but it is doable).

I'm having a problem with combo boxes. I usually use Java and it's been awhile since I used VB but I never remember having this much difficulty.My application is using an SDF file. From Data Sources, I drag the details on one of my Tables to my Form to get all of the fields. Three of them are comboboxes. Each of the three is an INT64 and each corresponds to a primary key in a different table. I click the tasks button on a combobox and for data source I select the appropriate table that has the data to go with the combobox, for display member I select the field that I want users to see, and for value member I select the primary key. Then I run a quick test and start the app, open the form, and add a new record. When I select a value from the combobox the selection won't validate because it doesn't think it's an INT64 like it should be. It seems to be using the display member as the actual value instead because if I change display member to the primary everything works great.

I can't seem to get the Form.GotFocus event to fire.I have two forms - a main window and a debug window.The debug window will always be shown with the main window. But, I don't want the debug window to appear in the task bar - it's unnecessary.While my program is running, when I select another program, my main window and the debug window are placed behind the program that I selected. From the task bar, I can bring my program back to the front by clicking on it in the task bar. The problem is, that now my debug window is behind the other program.I have code that will "DebugWindow.BringToFront", and it works. But I need some way to run do this when the main form gets the focus.I do not wish to make any of my forms Modal. At least not permanently. If the solution is to change the modal property of the form temporarily, then that wouldn't be a problem.
I tried Me.Enter, Me.Activated, Me.Click and a few other events. Me.Click only works when I click within the Form window, not the form's title bar. Me.Activated caused problems - The code ran, but it would always end with the focus on the Debug window. When I tried to click on the main form, the Activated event would fire again, sending the focus back to the debug window.[code]
