I have some custom code in an extender that can be enabled on textboxes to determine whether or not to display scrollbars based on font, size, and textbox size. It works great, so long as the text box isn't data-bound. Once it is data-bound, I get some weird behavior. The text suddenly selects when the scrollbar is turned on. I am using VS 2005, VB.NET.

I want to allow blanks in BOUND textboxes that are bound to int and money columns.

I am currently working on a VB.Net program where there are two parallel multiline text boxes like this.

I would like that when one text box is scrolled, the other is scrolled as well. I was wondering if there was a Scroll event that could trigger the change the position of the scroll bar of the two text boxes.
I have textboxes that are bound to a dataset table. How can I tell what data type each textbox is bound to? Specifically, how can I tell if a textbox is bound to a DateTime field? How can I tell if a textbox is bound to a Numeric field? How can I tell if a textbox is bound to a Character field?
View 1 RepliesOn my form I have 3 textboxes. They get their data from a database query. The trick is the database may return 1 result or up to 3. If the query returns only 1 result, I want the first textbox populated, 2 results, 1st and 2nd textbox populated, etc... I also want to be able to track CurrentItemChanged Event for updating purposes. My initial thought was to use a list object as the binding source but how would I cycle through the list if it returns more than one so that I can assign the values to the 2nd and 3rd textboxes or if data is entered in to a blank textbox I want the currentitemchanged
View 6 RepliesI've got a textbox on a screen - RateHr_3.
I'm binding it like this
If TypeOf ctl Is TextBox Then
Dim txt As TextBox = TryCast(ctl, TextBox)
If txt.Tag IsNot Nothing Then
[CODE]...
Now - here's the really odd part! See the attached image. I call up a vendor - go to change the LANGUAGE FROM (Finnish) to another language - when I leave the DROP DOWN for LANGUAGE FROM it puts garbage in the RateHr_3 field. It actually fills the field with "System.Data.DataRowView" - as you can see in the bottom piece of the attached image.I'm having a really hard time debugging this - How do you put a watch on a textbox in VS2008?
So with the stock Textbox, I set the Scrollbars property to Vertical. This is great if the text in my box never changes; I can scroll up and down while the box sits still. If I'm running a background operation that logs output to the box though, the scrollbar resets itself to the top every time I append text to the box.
I know I can set the Textbox.Selection property (or use the Select method) to reposition the carat in the textbox, make note of that position in a variable, then append text, reset the carat, and use the ScrollToCarat method to reposition the scrollbar where it belongs. That's a really (ridiculously) long way around. Anybody know if there's another/better way of holding the scrollbar position, short of actually building a custom control (or using a Textbox and a separate Scrollbar)? It never hurts to try. In a worst case scenario, you'll learn from it.
I have an Address Book project with a listbox. The listbox is bound to the database via the little arrow pop-up box in the corner of the listbox. I have the DisplayMember set to FirstName, and obviously only display the First Name of the contact in the ListBox. Is there an easy way to change it so that it displays the First and Last names? I can't change the binding because I need it to get the ID of the record selected.Here's the basis of my code...
Private Sub MainForm_Load(sender As System.Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
'TODO: This line of code loads data into the 'CompanyDataSet.Contacts' table. You can move,

I want it so every time I click an ITEM in the Listbox it displays ALL the data into the textbox. I know there's an easy way using table adapters and binding the listbox, but I'd prefer to do it this way for my project.
So this is what I got.
Lst.DataSource = ds
Lst.DisplayMember = "tblStudent.FirstName"
Lst.ValueMember = "tblStudent.StudentID"
[code]....
It only adds the first rows details to the text box when I click the second record the first rows details are still there.
I have been working on a much larger project and came to a point where I decided threading should be used.It seems in previous version of .Net, a background worker was able to update controls that were were not created on that thread. Now, it doesn't seem to be the case.I basically just began a new small project to try and teach myself the basics.Form1 Consists of A listbox, A progress bar, a label and two buttons, one to start and one to cancel.
imports system.threading
private sub btngo(byval sender as system.object, byval e as system.eventargs) handles btngo.click
pbprogress.minimum = 0[code=....
This code appears to be updating the listbox.I can see the vertical scrollbar getting smaller, but no data is shown in the listbox. The progressbar is also updating properly while that is working, indicating proper background operation.But what it's not doing is this:
1. Label is not updating percentage
2. The form is not free to be used by the user (me)

View 22 RepliesI have a data bound combo box which i want to open at a certain row in the table
i can't set the selectedvalue because it is databound
(I'm using VS2005)Instead of using a bindingnavigator, I'm setting one field as a databound combo box with the display member and selected value set to the field.Then the other fields are text boxes and change based on the selected value of the combo box.The problem is that when I run the app, the form won't close.
View 6 RepliesIs there anyone who can tell me the code for the below? Receive a lower bound and an upper bound of a range. Also receive a number of random numbers to generate. You must validate
1) the numbers are integers
2) the lower bound is less than or equal to the upper bound
3) the number to generate is positive (i.e., > 0).
Generate this many numbers in the specified range and keep track of how many of each are generated in an array of counters. Once all the numbers have been generated, display in a List Box the number, the raw count data, and the percentage of how many times the number was generated displayed with two decimal places of precision.

I have a dgvAssetsSummary which holds data queried from the database, it hold's the AssetType column and Total column, it's grouped by AssetType, giving a summary of all the totals and what assettype they belong to.I'd like the Total column to be formatted so that there are no decimals and with commas, at present each total has four decimal places and no commas, this needs to be able to be read easily by clients. I've tried using the following code to format the column after I query the database, but to no avail.
dgvAssetsSummary.Columns("Total").DefaultCellStyle.Format = "#,#"
how to do this, I've had a bit of a look around but I can't find much. I'm currently looking at a couple of pages from the msdn library about it.
I have a class which I'm binding to a series of textboxes, date pickers and so on. When I change text in the text boxes, the object updates just fine, and when I then save the data, it has the changes. My problem seems to be with the RTB ... if I bind to the .Text property, it works just fine and updates like any normal text box. However... when I bind to the RTF property... changes to the object don't happen unless I first click out of the RTB... quite annoying. If I edit the text or change the formatting, and hit the save button, the changes don't get reflected in my object. I've even tried using debug statements to track when the property is changed, and I'm not getting the results I desire.

I have a few bound data controls on a form. However, there are certain data fields in the same table from which this data is coming from which I would like to be able to access in memory but which is not bound to a control. I have tried looking through the properties of my datanavigator, my dataadapter and my databindingsource and can't seem to find out how to sort this.
In simple terms, I have a data navigator to iterate through various fields in my dataset. I want to be able to access to the contactID of the currently visible / selected contact. The contact ID exists in the data source but I do not want to show it, just access it. How do I do so without issuing a manual SQL call to the database again?
I am a programmer from Uruguay. I have read the other similar questions about my problem, but nobody has given the answer I need. I use VB .net 2005 and its datagridview. I bind it to a dataset which is populated with a table of MySql. And when I sort the numeric columns, it sorts them as string, not numbers. I have tried casting the data to integer in the sql statement, but it doesn`t work. I changed the format of the column of the datagridview to single or long but it didn't worked either. I really can't believe it is happening, it is a so common need! I thingk It should be totally automatic.

View 2 RepliesI have a form developed using the Dataform wizard (VS 2003). The Form shows Master-Detail data. The details are showen in a Datagrid. The form automatically loads the data in the Form_load event. Now I want to store the data from the datagrid to a datatable. I am using following code to get the details showen in the datagrid into a dataview. The objdsInvoice is the dataset that holds the Invoice And Invoice_Item data.
Dim DV As DataView
Dim tempDT As DataTable
tempDT = objdsInvoice.Tables("INVOICE_ITEM").Copy

Is there any better way to get the datagird values that are currently displayed into a datatable. The datagrid is bound to the details table in the Master-detail type dataset.
Is there a VB.net function that tells me the data type (e.g., DateTime, Integer, Varchar) of a bound textbox?

This ought to be relatively simple... I have a Jet database that contains the table of interest, tblCategory. tblCategory has three attributes of interest for this issue: fldCategoryID, fldParentCategoryID, and fldName. There is a self-join from fldCategoryID to fldParentCategoryID (one-to-many). On my form I wish to have a combobox display all the categories available (shows the fldName attribute of tblCategory) and assign the selected value to fldParentCategoryID.
So, my form is based on a dataset that is attached to tblCategory in the normal way. That works just fine. To facilitate the combobox, I created another dataset that simply contains fldCategoryID and fldName attributes and is non-editable - imaginatively named dsLUCategory (dataset lookup Category).
