View 10 Repliesif it is possible for me to go to the specified listbox item via searching. Example;
Listbox1 items are
Apple
Banana
Guava
Pineapple
Peach
When I key in the word Apple in a textbox, the SelectedItem would go to Apple,
I have a listbox, and its like this:
13
45
sdfg
34
13
And a button, which I want to search if the listbox has atleast 2 same value's [13 , 13], and delete it. So It will be:
13
45
sdfg
35
i want to select all items from listbox1 and then use that items for searching.if it finds the items, it will be displayed on listbox2 and if not, it will be displayed on listbox3.give a simple code for this? i am thinking of making listbox1 items into string so that it would be more easy for searching.
View 11 RepliesI have a listbox with multiple items:
Quote:
The Sopranos (Season 5) Boxset (DVD)
Braveheart (DVD)
MTV The City - Complete Second Season 2 (DVD)
I have a TextBox where a user enters a search:
The Sopranos Season 5 Since ListBox.FindString() wants a String and not a RegEx, I can't use a Regular Expression. (right?) So, if TextBox.Text = "The Sopranos Season 5", then ListBox.FindString(TextBox.Text) will not find my entry with "The Sopranos (Season 5) Boxset (DVD)".
Right now im using
If ListBox1.FindStringExact(TextBox2.Text) = "0" Then
Label2.Text = "yes"

and it searches the first item in the listbox correctly but nothing else. Im assuming im going to need to loop through the listbox somehow?
I have a code to search through a listbox with mutiple search criteria. Here is the code:[code]When I search for something, how do I make sure I do not obtain 2 of the same results, If both criteria are found, or if all three are found?
View 4 Repliesi have this code [code]i want it to return me only 1 value which is the exact text as textbox1.text.
View 1 Repliesi have this code
vb
For Each sWord As String In listbox1.Items
If textbox1.text.Contains(sWord) Then
but the problem is if the textbox1.text value is ( new text ) and the list box have like 3 items
new
new text
text
it will return me 3 values i want it to return me only 1 value which is the exact text as textbox1.text ( new text )
I know the sort of a thread is already here, but I have a different question. I have ListBox1 and TextBox1 and the Items of ListBox1 are:California
Chicago Washington and as I start typing the text into the TextBox1 (TextBox1_TextChanged), then it will select the first Item in ListBox1,that is closest to the text in TextBox1:
For example:
If I type "A" to the TextBox1, it will select California (California)
If I type "C" to the TextBox1, it will select again California (California)
If I type "CH" to the TextBox1, it will select the Chicago (Chicago)
AND!!! If I type "SH" to the TextBox1, it will select the Washington (Washington)
so it won't only search the first letters, but it will even search the letters in the middle of the text, too.
Disable dynamic searching when typing in a listbox?
View 1 RepliesI will include a link to a copy of my source Code. The Problem is that I have to create a user management system. I have almost all my features working but there are one or two I can't get working. When the program loads a text file is read and the program lists the first name of everyone in the text file into a list box. I want to be able to get so that when you click a name in the list box, the persons information will be displayed in the text boxes to the left. And also when you edit those text boxes you can click the button for modify current and it will modify that persons data. The other problem I'm having is being able to search that text file for the users e-mail and return the first names of people who have that e-mail into the listbox.

I have a code to search for specified text in all listbox items. Here it is:
ListBox2.Items.Clear()
For Each item In ListBox1.Items
If item.ToString.Contains(TextBoxDropDown1.Text) Then
[code]....
This works fine. But if I have search for this:
"My Search"
I wont find this:
My sEarCh"
Is there any way to search for text of any casing, and if so how can I adapt my code to do this.
If I set a ListBox.Height = ListBox.PreferredHeight when the control is hidden and IntegralHeight = True, then set it visible:
a) Actual Height reduces by typically 3-5 pixels after redraw (but not 1 pixel per item).
b) PreferredHeight does not not appear to give the correct integral of item heights.
Is there a way to make ListBox calculate the correct integral Height before the ListBox is made visible, so it can be correctly pre-positioned from bottom edge?
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
ListBox1.Visible = False
ListBox1.IntegralHeight = True

I am using VB.NET (version 2008). I have two types of items populating in a listbox (checked listbox). For example: lets say one is type "A" and other is "Type B". Their names maybe same so if the user sees those items in listbox then he won;t be able to determine their type until he click on them and checks out its properties. I wanted that I add each item to listbox and colour them so that blue for example means type "A" is there and red means the other. So this way I will be able to know at a glance that how many item of what type is present. I guess it may not be possible to do that in a standard checkedlistbox. I am also using component factory's krypton controls which enhance the gui of an application. But I dunno if I can progress using that.
View 5 RepliesIm having a bit of trouble with my form,I have a QUOTATIONS form that displays data to the Employye about Over timne etc. I want to be able to Search through the Employye file using either the ID or there Name.
I have the code to search through the file using there ID, i have addapted the code for there name, but can't run both at the same time.As in - i can serach by one, but not by both. If you see what i mean?
I want to be able to search by Either ID or Name. I can run either one or tother, but not both at the same time,giving them a choice.Was thinking about using a seperate form, but that didn't work?
The scrollbar that comes with the ListBox is too small for touch screens, so I use my own scrollbar instead. But when you do this on various forms you end up repeating a lot of code. So my solution was to create a custom scollbar that has a property I can set to the control I want it to be a scrollbar for. In vb6, I can use the withevents keyword to get access to the control's events so that all the scrollbar related code can be in the custom scrollbar object I created, except...I had to create a refresh method for the consuming code to use to let the scrollbar know when the number of items changes. The scrollbar doesn't need to be told how many items there are because it has access to the control, but for a listbox there is no event to tie into when an item is added/removed so not 100% of the scrollbar related code could be encapsulated.
View 2 RepliesIs it possible to select an item in one listbox and then display the data of another listbox with the same indexed position? I am planning a project and this is something I would like to attempt but I haven't figured out how to do it.[code..]
I tried doing the above code but instead of displaying the listbox text the message box just returned false.
I am using Visual Basic 2008 Express Edition and I am trying to set a listbox so it starts to scroll when it hits the middle point of what is viewable on my list. I also want to set it so the list is always visible so you when you reach the bottom of the list you can scroll down to the bottom but if you scroll back up once it reaches that middle point it will start to scroll up again.
View 2 Repliesproblem that i am facing is i want to add array of object as a single item in listbox. in vb6 i was using this Label1.Caption = Label1.Caption & Mid$ (strInput, intI, 1) & " " List1.AddItem (Label1.Caption) i was using label. caption to store object but not work in vs2008 because label.text only take text and left other values
View 18 Replieswhat it does iswhen a user checks an item in the checked list box it transfer it to a listboxso i have a checked list box and a listboxi am planning to put another listboxwhat i would like to be able to do is thatwhen the user checks an item on the checked list box it will transfer the item into the listbox [like the one on my previous thread]and be able to show an messagebox with a textbox [ i read its called an input box ] or another form with a textbox and/or combo box will pop up
View 13 Replies I am starting to learn reading and writing to textfiles. One quick problem. My code here
'Read is the variable that will read the kp.txt file"
Dim read As IO.StreamReader
read = IO.File.OpenText("C:2/kp.txt"[code].....

How can i make it so that each line of the textfile is placed in each line on the listbox?
I am having problems with copying from one listbox to another and keeping the paths of the files in the listbox's. At the moment i have two listbox's, listbox1 shows the list of files without the directory paths showing. Listbox2 is used to add items from listbox1 which work ok but what i need is to be able to preserve the directory paths to each file. how to do this and have searched high and low for a solution without any luck.
I have worked out one way of doing it but i think there is a better way of doing it as the reverse does not seem to work. So basicly i want listbox1 to list the files without the paths and pass it on to listbox2 so that the files can be copied to temp directory as they are being add to listbox2.
Below is my

Routine to add items back to listbox1 and remove them from listbox2. I have created another listbox4 which is hidden under listbox2 which i was trying add the paths from listbox3.

I am trying to search through items in listview control in vb.net one by one. i.e When the user types in some keyworrk in the textbox and presses enter, the first found item in the listview should get highlighted, when he presses enter again, the second search item in the listview should get highlighted and so on.
I am not fully aware of how to keep track of already found items while searching. As of now , I am searching all the items in the listbx using the code :

I am doing an assignment for class and it is searching an SQL Database file. On the GUI I have a text box and a button to search this database. It is presented on the form in DataGridView connecting to the file, and the file connection test succeeded, I am kinda so so on understanding what is going on with the connection between the file and VB 2008 but I am getting 4 errors: Warning1The designer cannot process the code at line 119: Me.PlayersBindingSource.DataSource = Me.BaseballDataSet
