Linking Combo Boxes In VB 2008?
Feb 24, 2009
i wanted to link options selected from Comb box A (general) to specific options in combo box B (specific). I want to pick a word in Combo box A that has specific words/phrases in Combo Box B show. But not all the words to show in the combo box B if they aren't associated with the Word picked in Combo Box A. Ex.When "Soda" is picked in A, only "Coke, Sprite, Fanta" should be visible in combo box b, not everything else.
This is the code i used to make the boxes, but i don't know how to link them. Do i use an If/Else/ Case Else statement or what?
Private Sub MainForm_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
' fills the combo boxes with values

i have connected my form 1 (User Details) to an sql server. On form 1 there are a couple of textboxes and 1 combo box. The textboxes all work fine however the combo box doesn't.
This is what my program is meant to do; when the user clicks Add (btnAdd) then edit (btnEdit) and inputs their information the clicks save (btnSave). Their details get stored on the sql server. This works fine so far. However when they call upon their details using search (btnSearch) the textboxes all appear correctly but the combo box remains blank.Here are my code sample's for btnAdd, btnEdit, btnSave and btnSearch, i'm not sure which one is making the combo box appear blank:

First i am pretty new to coding and everything so yeah...I wish to make a distance and fuel calculator as my project. Included will be multiple combo boxes with different sets of information (The manufacturer of the vehicle, model of vehicle, the vehicles fuel use per 100Km, its transmission type, users choice of where they will depart from and arrive etc.) Is it possible to achieve this without using a lot of combo boxes? I've experimented using if statements for example:
if combobox1.selected item = "Holden" then
combobox2.visible = true (it's bad i know)
Then from this they would choose their model type in another combo box and then choose their transmission type etc..I don't want to use this because then it will mean i will have to do it for each and every combo box for each and every different set of data because making one 'visible = true' i will have to make the other 'visible = false' and this will cause problems when i start adding a lot onto it.

I am trying to create a program that has the following aspects:2 combo boxes each containg a list of seven cities (both combo boxes have the same cities listed in them)text file containing distances to each city from one another eg if southampton is selected in one combo box and london in the other it will call 164 from the text file this means that each city needs to relate to a certain row or column number depending on the line in which the data is held in the text file. Here is what i have so far code wise:
Private Sub frmDistance_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
Dim rowcolumn(7, 7) As Integer
Dim sr As IO.StreamReader = IO.File.OpenText("Distance.Txt")
Dim row, col As Integer
[Code]...
the problem is where i have the if statements that i have coloured red if i select southampton and london it will only display southampton to cardiff.

I've done data binding to my Combos and it works fine but my data base has over 260 000 entries, so I can't let user to move trough it, one by one entry until finds a match.What I am looking for is that user select value from Combo Boxes and Text Boxes get filled in with a matching values from the same row.Auto Complete helps in selection but I still can't work it out how to get values to my text boxes.

I have a question concerning app settings. Is it possible to create a single setting which stores a list of text items and then use that list as the selection in a combo box? I'm trying to create a system that allows the user to determine which options are available in the combo box. In the past I have created a database table to store the options, but I have recently leanred that this solution comes with some inherent problems.

So as the name states; I am a newer coder.
This is the code i have:
Public Sub RandomNumbers()
Dim s(4) As String
Dim RandomNumber As Byte
I don't know if you can tell what I am trying to do here, so I will try to explain. I what to create for random numbers and place them into for different text boxes. I also would like to do this with combo boxes and their selected indexes. So if the combo box has 10 items in it; the new selected index would be the random number generated above.

I'm in the middle of creating an application that will be used to input customer information whilst the customer is speaking to someone over the phone. This involves the customer giving the employee information such as name, address, postcode etc and the employee inputting that information into text boxes and combo boxes that are in the application.
What I would like to be able to do is after the customers information is given over the phone, I need to be able to send that information to a database which will probably most likely be done by button click. In this case, I'm using Microsoft Access. I'm also hoping that I can do this within Visual Basic coding.
The database is set out with multiple tables which include a customer table and a ticket table and both have multiple fields such as first name, surname in the customers table. Both of these tables are in use with the information that the customer gives over the phone.
I've already asked on other forums and people are where replying giving me third party programs that I could use to implement this, something I don't really want to do.

I am developing a program that makes it easier for users to log on to a website and search for specific data. I have the first portion finished in which I have a form with the Ax Web Browser control.
The web browser control navigates to a local website and automatically logs in for the end user. This is done by using code which automatically fills in the username and password and then submits the form to logon using something similar to this: WebBrowser1.Document.Forms.Item(, 0).elements("txtUsername").value = "user"
Once logged on - there is a search page which contains a combo box and list box. I am trying to set specific values for the combo box and list boxes.For example - the combo box on the website is titled: cbxDate and contains the following values: Today, Yesterday, This Week, This Month.
A list box titled: lstArea contains the following values: Zone A, Zone B, Zone C, All.I am trying to figure out if there is a way through code to select, in this example, "Yesterday" in the cbxDate and "Zone B" in the lstArea on the webpage.If anyone knows of a solution, please feel free to let me know. Be advised that I am using the Ax Web Browser Control.

I currently have my cute little first program made... I'm just stepping into the water with this programming thing. I made a program where you can select a shape from a drop-down list and then input some values and click a button and get the area of the shape. I have it working so that when a certain shape is chosen, certain fields are disabled, such as when you pick "circle" from the combo box, the "length", "width", and "number of sides" text boxes are disabled but the "radius" text box is enabled, thus allowing you to enter the radius and find the area. I want to make it so that when you first load the program, all of the text boxes for the length, width, number of sides and radius are disabled until you select a shape from the list. Currently I'm using
[Code]...
This works for disabling the correct boxes when something is selected, but I don't know if I'm even on the right path with that first part.

I am teaching myself VB, and when I first managed to do what the post title says, I ended up with a combo box filled with values from the column of a table in a linked db. But later when I updated the VB Form and tried linking the database on this revision of the project,and then added the details to the combo box where to read the values and run the form, nothing displays in combo box. Here is what I did:In the IDE of VB, I went to "Add New Data Sources" -> Database -> New Connection -> Browse -> (selected filename of db) -> Next -> Select "yes" (put in current project) -> Next (save connection name) -> tick boxes for tables in database to connectThen in combo box control properties i set the Data Source (Other Data Sources -> Project Data Sources -> (dataset name) -> Table Name

I am trying to create a WPF browser application that allows you to search and display recipes. The combo box presents choices, the Ingredients display in one list box and the "cooking" instructions appear in the other list box. What's happening is the first time you make a selection from the combobox nothing displays, and this could be happening because the first line of code under Selectionchanged clears the List Boxes however, it should be populating those list boxes with content, shouldn't it? Anyway, as you make other selections List boxes 1 & 2 get populated but they do not match what displays in the Combo box, i.e. if you select "Easy Taco Dip" any random recipe might appear in List Boxes 1 & 2.

I was having a heck of a time populating a gridview combo box.I learned a ton in the last 48 hours but would really like to know the answers to the bottom three questions.You guys are the experts, so I'm hoping you will enlighten meBut the summary of it is below:I was never able to get the ComboBox to bind to the data source. I tried everything until I turned blue. So I went to the basics and coded all the automatic stuff. I'm curious as to why the automatic binding didn't work. Perhaps its because my gridview datasource was LINQ.Here is how I pulled it off. I hope someone down the road benefits from the last 48 hours of my delima:First of all, know that I have two drop down lists on my form, one is the GPField and the other is the BankField. These are already populated DDLs that are static. So I used them to cheat on the values instead of using enums.
Sub fillGPFieldListDDL(ByVal obj As Object)
Dim db As New CompanyDataDataContext
Dim myConn As New Connection With {.ConnCls = ConnCls}

i am using a couple bound comboboxes in a bound datagridview. It seems though, when the combo's are changed, and the tableadapter is filled again, the changes are not being saved to the table. Is there a special trick to getting the data in the combo boxes to saved when the values are changed?

I have two combo boxes: cboRepairCategory (plumbing, landscaping, etc) and cboVendors. I am using Stored Procedures in SQL to store the data from my database and then load them into the combo boxes.The cboRepairCategory will be loaded first. Once the user has selected what type of repair it is I want it to restrict the amount of vendors that can be selected, so instead of saying:CREATE PROCEDURE dbo.up_Fill_Vendor_Combo
AS
SELECT VendorID, CompanyName
FROM Vendors
[code].....
I would select only the vendors that have the RepairType of say Landscaping, so thecboVendor would load now only Vendors with Landscaping instead of all vendors.My question is this: Is this done in SQL in my Stored Procedure or is it done in VB in my functions for my combo boxes. I've never tried this before I am totally lost on it. I have fiddled with the code on both ends but to no avail.

I have a school project where i have a form that works as a class registration. There is cboGradeLevel and cboCourse and cboNumber. If cboGrade level is freshman i only want the numbers that start with 1 in cboName to be displayed, sophomore =2, junior =3, senior =3. Then i want cboCourse to work the same for the second number in cboNumber. english=1, history=2, math=3, science=4. So if freshman and history were selected i only want the numbers that start with 12- to be displayed. What can I use to make this happen?
