Moving Data From Databound Listbox To Other Listbox?
Mar 2, 2012
I've pretty much just started in playing with Visual Basic Studio 2010 and have been using this site for lots of answers so thought I'd join up and harass more directlyI've been trying to move items between two lists, one is databound to a bindingsource, the other isn't. I found out that you can't really move items from databound lists, but you can remove from the datasource instead. This works fine until I want to move the item back - it fills a blank line with seemingly no data.
I have a Listbox which is to display a list of product names which it reads from a database table, bound using the inbuild datasource/databinding stuff..however when the product names are updated/more are added in the table etc no change is reflected in the Listbox! only the initial names from when it was first bound appear, how to fix this?
I have a question regarding Databound listbox (Item selection)I have not used the listbox much so I am very uncurrent in it's use:What I am wanting to to is connect to a database, select from the database (lastname) then display the list of names in the listbox, also have a datagrid on the same form, so that when I click on a name on the listbox the datagrid moves to that same record.
It appears that I cannot assign the selectedindex for a databound listbox if it has no parent, but I can do so if I have populated the list "manually" from the same datatable. In my code example, the "if" line toggles between loading a list via data binding and loading a list "manually" (both use the same data table). In each case I attempt to set the selected index afterwards. With manual loading, the selected index is set; with data binding, an error is thrown (which can be avoided by assigning the listbox a parent, but the "manual" equivalent doesn't need this). Is this a bug?
what is the most robust method for adding a empty row (to select "nothing") to a ListBox?
Dim List = Enumerable.Repeat(New TABLE With {.Text = "", .ID = -1}, 1).AsQueryable().Union(From t In mainctx.TABLEs) ddlMangelKategorie.DisplayMember = "Text" ddlMangelKategorie.ValueMember = "ID" ddlMangelKategorie.DataSource = List.ToList
But this has some drawbacks:wordy must explicit write the Type (TABLE in this case), so i cant wrap this in a function have not found an solution, which works with anonymous types I.e. if I add a From t In mainctx.TABLEs Select Text=col1, id=col2 to the query, this method does not work anymore.
Is 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.
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?

When the user selects a name in the listbox and clicks a button I save the name in a var called "parent".What I want to do is programmatically move the selected name to the top of the list and take that whole list and drop it in a dropdown. I started the code below but don't know how to move the selected list item (parent) to the top of the list??
Private Sub GoLower(ByVal parent As String, ByVal lst As ListBox, ByVal ddl As DropDownList)
i have a listbox full of items and i want to use a loop to access these items one after the other and then process each one for admission.That is when the item is at memory location 0, it will work on that item and the move to the next at memory location 1 till it gets to the end of all the items in the list box but my loop is not working i have tried different types of techniques but none of them it working these are my codes
Dim i As Integer Dim count = Me.lstbprocessapplicant.SelectedItems.Count For i = 0 To count - 1
I have a listbox List1 in Form2 and the items are populated to it from another form Form1. In form2 i have created a button named btnUP. When we click the btnUP then the highlighted selected item in the listbox moves one level up. this is working fine.
The problem is only the value is moving up but not the highlight.
i have also set the setselect property to true "List1.SetSelected(i - 1, True)" but no use ("List1.selectionmode = one" )
don know wat is wrong with the code.But it is not working
So here is my code
Private Sub btnUP_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnUP.Click i = 0
so here is what I got so far. I have a treeview with multiple states as parent nodes. then as child nodes I have certain cities. as for my code - I have it set up that if I check the parent node, all children nodes will be checked. I also have code that moves the tags to listbox. the only items that have tags are the children. the code that I have works if I have tags set for the states, but I dont want to have parent tags move to the listbox. how can I change the code I have or rewrite my code to get ONLY children tags in the listbox even if the parents are checked??? hope this makes sense. here is my code
CHECKS ALL CHILD BOXES IF PARENT BOX IS CHECKED

I'm developing a program in WPF (VB) that relies on keyboard navigation only.In my program, I have a listbox that displays up to 20000 items.What I want is that when the listbox has keyboard focus, and I move to the bottom item that is visible (using ArrowDown), I want the focus to move to the next item outside the listbox. I'm using PgUp and PgDown to scroll the listbox contents, and text search to jump to items.Is there a way to detect if the focused/selected item is the last/first visible item in the listbox?If so, I could just use:
I am writing a GUI application to run on a touchscreen device using VB.NET and WPF--it must be full screen at all times, like a kiosk app; the window must not be able to resize or move in any way. The window contains a ListBox that users can currently scroll through by dragging across the list. The problem I'm seeing is that when the user drags across the list, the whole window moves a bit, exposing the desktop underneath, then springs back into place once the user stops dragging. I have not been able to figure out how to keep the window stationary while still allowing users to drag across the ListBox to view all list items. Here is a somewhat simplified version of my code:
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.
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.
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.
problem 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
what 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
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].....
however when it is read into the listbox those 3 words appear on one line in listbox 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
[CODE]...................
Routine to add items from listbox1 to listbox2: I have created another listbox3 (which is in bold), which is hidded under listbox1 and holds all the paths to the files and is use to copy the files from there original directory to a new directory.
[CODE]...................
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 have a question here.. pls kindly advise.I need to design a simple form that allow user to choose the value from Listbox A to Listbox B. For example, in Listbox A, have value A, value B and value C, then user can choose (or highlight value B and value C) and copy into the listbox B.
May i know how can i do this in vb.net? Any reference link?
i successfully load data from database to listbox, what i want to do is to add a record and then directly the listbox will update as well as in the delete.
I have a listbox which on form load generates correctly from a text file like so in a listbox...ex"John Doe, 1""Bob Brown,2"I now would like to search the listbox if it contains either a "1" or a "2" which is does in this case and copy the item to another listbox. The 1 and 2 indicate positions I have a position listbox for each position. So 3 listbos, first one contains the names on form load, 2 other empty listboxes one for position 1 other for position 2...I have tried the following
If xReservationListBox.SelectedIndex = xReservationListBox.FindString("1") Then 'MessageBox.Show("Found It") xSpot1ListBox.Items.Add(xReservationListBox.Items(0))
I have 2 listboxes on my form.Listbox 1 - populated with "available" field namesListbox 2 - populated with "selected" field names.There cannot be the same field name in both listboxes - it's either one of the other.The logic I was going to apply was to populate Listbox 1 with every field name ... and then as I populated Listbox with the field names which the user has already selected, remove the corresponding item from Listbox 1.
