View 11 RepliesI have a combobox which contains a sample of names selected from a table.Currently the default name displayed in the box is the 1st name found in the table. What I would like to do is display the name of the person who is doing the selection as the default. The name is stored in a public variable 'PubName' and I do not want the user to be able to type into the combobox themselves.Is this possible?
View 2 RepliesI have a vb.net application, and I have a combobox which should contains a display member (text) and a value member (integer).the problem is:I want to set a default value to that combobox when the form load but I don't have a load event as I create the form and the combobox dynamically. i have used the combobox.selectedvalue =6 but it doesn't work.note: I can't use the selectedindex property because sometimes the value comes from a DB table primary key which is not the same as the combobox index.
the code:
Private Sub fill_combo(ByRef combo As ComboBox, ByVal nodes As HashMap)
Dim comboData = New BindingList(Of KeyValuePair(Of Integer, String))
nodes.movefirst()
Do While Not nodes.eof

I can not locate the correct method to make the first item in a combo box visible.
The app starts with an empty combo box. The user makes a radio box selection then clicks Go! (how original). The combo box is loaded via an LDAP query. All this is working just fine. The problem is the combo box still appears to the user to be empty. They must click the arrow to see the options.
How do I make the first option 'visible' after the users clicks Go!?

View 1 RepliesI programatically / runtime created combobox and bind it to a datasource but can not set its default value. Since I am using the Handler of SelectedValueChanged, this is causing the program to mis-fire. Here is the code I am using.

'dictionary holds data to use in other parts of program
Dim T_Dict As New Dictionary(Of String, String)

View 3 RepliesI have a small section of a windows form that allows users to select when a customer should be called (i.e. day of the week, time and inbound or outbound)When the form is loaded I will extract the information using a dataset and bind to form controls. I want to use a combo box for call stautus - inbound or outbound - however wish to give the user the choice at runtime.My thoughts are I would need to set a static list (so the user could choose) and set the default or displayed value to the info the dataset has extracted.This code to select the index doesnt work when I am comparing the dataset result to the "Outbound" string even though I am using the ToString method.

I am making a custom ComboBox, inherited from Winforms' standard ComboBox. For my custom ComboBox, I set DrawMode to OwnerDrawFixed and DropDownStyle to DropDownList. Then I write my own OnDrawItem method. But I ended up like this:
How do I make my Custom ComboBox to look like the Standard one?
Update 1: ButtonRenderer After searching all around, I found the ButtonRenderer class. It provides a DrawButton static/shared method which -- as the name implies -- draws the proper 3D button. I'm experimenting with it now.
Update 2: What overwrites my control?I tried using the Graphics properties of various objects I can think of, but I always fail. Finally, I tried the Graphics of the form, and apparently something is overwriting my button.
Here's the code:
Protected Overrides Sub OnDrawItem(ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.DrawItemEventArgs)
Dim TextToDraw As String = _DefaultText
__Brush_Window.Color = Color.FromKnownColor(KnownColor.Window)

How do I make a program a default program for a file? As in if I had just a basic .txt file editor, I could make the program the default program for the extension .txt.

I'm making a manually started screen-saver-esque program, and I need the "Black screen" form to be full screen, totally black and border-less.
I have so far managed to fix the last two criterea with changing the border style and form back color, but how do I make the form default full-screen?
The only settings I could find were things like "Manual" and "Center Parent". I'm probably just missing something obvious, but how do I make the form full-screen by default?
I am creating a button to save text files (Visual Basic 2005 and Windows XP). I made the following loop to give a default name for the file before saving:
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
'This loop is supposed to name the file "file10.txt", and if such a file exists it is
supposed to name it "file20.txt" then "file30.txt" etc.
Dim myFileName As String
Dim i As Integer = 10
myFileName = "D:filesfile" & i & ".txt"[code].....
However, the app gets unresponsive only after one round in the loop (when the file name is "file20"). The loop gets stuck at the following line:
If IO.File.Exists(myFileName) = True Then
This line works only once and after that it becomes unresponsive.

Let's say I have a ShoppingCart class, which has a ShoppingCartItem List:
Public Class ShoppingCart
Public Property CouponCode As String
Public Property Items As New List(Of ShoppingCartItem)
End Class
[Code]....
However, when I submit the page, no values are picked up, not even the CouponCode field. The model object is empty. What gives?
Ultimately, my goal is to add/remove items clientside via javascript and then have the modelbinder pick up the changes automatically when the page is submitted.
Update: I was just missing the Property keyword from my model properties declarations. It's too late, and I got to get some sleep. :)
