When I used to use Farpoint controls (w/VB6), there was an option on a listbox to set it to mulit-character search mode. It seems that VB.NET (at least 2005) doesn't have this capability. If I type a "G" and then an "A", it first jumps to the first item that starts with a "G" and then the first item with an "A". I want it to jump to the first item that starts with "GA." What is the easiest way to accomplish this functionality?

I have VB Application and VB dll. I am retrieving the data using MS ODBC and through VB application and passing it to VB dll. Dll is then processing the data and inserting the data into Oracle 10g database. Dll uses OraOledb driver. Now when i retrieve the data in my web-page which uses MS ODBC, it displays the data as garbled.

I have a csv file with 48 columns of data. I need to open this file, place it into a data structure and then search that data and present it in a DataRepeater. So far I have successfully used CSVReader to extract the data and bind it to myDataRepeater. However I am now struggling to place the data in a table so that I can filter the results. I do not want to use SQL or any other database.
So far, this is working in returning all records:
Private Sub BindCsv()
' open the file "data.csv" which is a CSV file with headers"
Dim dirInfo As New DirectoryInfo(Server.MapPath("~/ftp/"))
Dim fileLocation As String = dirInfo.ToString & "data.txt"
Using csv As New CsvReader(New StreamReader(fileLocation), True)

I have a database table of company information.It's about 50 records and contains things like company id, company name, address, phone number, shipping rate1, shipping rate2,etc.I want to load that table into a structure that I can quickly search within my code.I want to search by id to find the company, and then use the company's data to update some records.My lazy way has always been to add a listbox for each piece of data, then do an indexof on the id, then access the same index on the other listboxes.[code]

I have a listbox with two columns. Each listbox item contains a horizontal stacked panel which in turn contains textblocks.
The listbox is empty, with each listbox item being added by the end-user through a couple of textboxes placed elsewhere. The first column accepts strings, and the second column accepts only percentages.
(I have attached a relevant portion of the event sub where a user is adding new rows.)
Private Sub btnAddItem_Click(sender As System.Object, e As System.Windows.RoutedEventArgs) Handles btnAddSplit.Click
'...
Dim ListBoxItemName As New TextBlock
[Code]....
I would like to be able to check every time the above event is fired that the column of percentages does not exceed 100%. I have a couple of labels below the listbox itself where I would like to show the running total and the remainder.
My questions are:
1) How can I loop through the second column of percentages to show the running total and remainder?
2) Is there something more suitable than a ListBox that could make this easier?
I trying to do;when user put in MultiLine TextBox "3 is 5" then push button the ListBox show "33333".If user go to the second line in MultiLine TextBox and put "4 is 2" then the Listbox show "3333344"
View 3 RepliesI'm making a program to keep track of my gaming accounts and the characters that the accounts hold. So I made a class called "Accounts", made it a Datasource to a listbox.
[code]...
So this is what I have. What I want to do, is have 2 Listboxes on my form. one Listbox contains the list of accounts, and the other contains the list of character that the selected account holds. I'm wondering how do I do this through Bindingsource? I got the Account class bound to a Listbox's Datasource, now I need to figure out how to put the List(Of Character) to the other Listbox
I had set the multiselect option to true for listbox.Let me know how to move the list items up and down with this option.
View 2 RepliesI have a list box that is bound to a table in a database. It produces a list of companies. The user will then come along and select multiple companies that they want to view information about, and then they hit a select button which I'll display the company information (e.g company name, company site, address e.t.c) in a gridview underneath. However the issue that I am having is that it only displays ONE of the multiple companies selected and its always the top one. How I get all the companies to be displayed in the gridview?

View 2 RepliesI've spent FAR too long trying to troubleshoot this simple operation.I want the user to select multiple files in an OpenFileDialog (called OpenFileDialog1), click OK, and then have the filenames display in a listbox (called ListBox1). When I run, the openFile dialog allows the user to select mutliple files. However, on clicking OK, the dialog repons allowing the user to select only a SINGLE file. Then, it throws an "outside of array" exception.

View 4 Repliesthis is going to be hard to explain but ill try. Question 1. Ok i have a list box with a few items, What i want for this example is to click a button and it will start on the first item and do: MsgBox ("this is item blah blah blah") then after that it will go to the next item and do the same and then the next and so on untill all have been done. The "blah blah" should be the item so if item was to say "hello" then the msgbox would say "this item is hello" I know this would be a lot of msgboxes to close, like if 50 items then thats 50 msgboxes to close, this is just for the example.
Question 2. Ok this is where ive tryed to learn but find it really hard (multithreading) Im wanting all to be multithreaded so all work at the same time, ive tryed a few times but the only way i see it is having a **** load of subs, like if i want it to use 10 threads then ill have to add the same code 10 times or somet, im not sure.
i have attempted all this and failed big time as my way was to get the first item and use that then remove it from the listbox BUT... with it being quite fast the 2nd 1 and 3rd 1 used the same item befor it was removed and to be honest i dont really want them removed. so my attempts took like 2-3 days that was a waste of time really. I Know this is a lot to ask but im in real need of it and these 2 things have driven me half mad.

I've small project to do and now I'm stuck in middle. The program is to read the sequential text file and load it into a array/array of structure.The data information is like this (sample):
ID | Name | Type
1 | Cat | Animal
2 | Dog | Animal
[code]....
This is Just as sample data, my original data is more than this.I've open the DATA.txt file using FileStreamReader:
Dim FileStreamReader As StreamReader = New StreamREader(DATA.txt)
Read all the elements in the list and pass through ReadArrayString.Split the string using:
DataString.Split(New Char() {";"c})
Pass through
ReadArrayString(0)
ReadArrayString(1)
ReadArrayString(2)
Where index 0 is the ID, index 1 is the name, and index 2 is the Type Then I load the types in the dropdown combobox menu from the array with out duplication. Like this:
If TypeComboBox.FindString(ReadArrayString(2)) < 0 Then
TypeComboBox.Items.Add(ReadArrayString(2))
End If
Now When you click TypeComboBox it will show drop down menu with following list only.
Animal
Bird
Fish
After this, when Animal type is selected/clicked from combobox dropdown menu then it should only add the Id and Name of Animal type in the ListBox.Pseudocode may looks like this:
If Animal is selected/clicked from TypeComboBox then
Add Cat into listbox
Add Dog into listbox
[code]....
I've only figure out load items from only one column/array into combobox with out duplication.But can't figure out to compare the value of one column/array with another column/array and load it into listbox. I don't want to hardcode or write matching value inside the code. What I want is use the Array.

I'm adding multi-threading facilities for the first time. I have a function that is wrapped to be run in a separated thread. This function retrieves data (text) from a combobox and it works for sure without multi-threading.
When I call it as multi-threaded, I get the following error when I try to retrieve the data from the cmobobox: Cross-thread operation not valid: Control 'cmb1stBL' accessed from a thread other than the thread it was created on.
It looks like a restriction of thread-safety... I assume that the child thread cannot read from his parent, to make sure that he doesn't change his parent data. So how can I read the data from the combobox? Should I read the comoboxbox data before calling the child thread?

For each character of this string I want a new character out of the string and then remove the character from the list of characters that still maybe used for other characters. It may not get the same character, you could basically just call this encryption, but it's not what I am making. I don't want to waste my time doing this one hour while VB can do this for me in <1 second.
