Ordering Items In A ListBox Using ComboBox?
Feb 25, 2012
(All of the names on the ListBox are actually .txt files, which contain different values that can be put into the program by a certain window.)
I'm trying to use a ComboBox to order items in a list by a certain value. So say I select "Sort by Alphabetical" in the ComboBox, I'd want it to sort the items in the ListBox in alphabetical order.
Also, if I were to have a certain value in the .txt files that I would like to sort by, is there a way I could order by that?

I have a classic scenario with a twist, containing the following tables: Users, Roles, UsersInRoles.In my webpage I have some Comboboxes (i.e. DropDownList + TextBox), one for each Role which contain all the Users for that particular Role. What I would like each of them to contain instead is a full list of all users, but grouped and ordered like so...Users for only the given role (ordered by name) - My intention is to highlight these items.The rest of the users, with no repeats (ordered by name)I have been playing around with some SQL and VB trying to work my way toward a solution, but it is not clear yet which is the best approach, nor how to fully implement the solution. I have only figured out small bits and pieces. Forgive me for refraining from posting any code for now. I hoping for some fresh ideas and a clever solution that won't put a lot of demand on the server.
Users (ID, Username, Name)
Roles (ID, Role)
UsersInRoles (ID, UserID, RoleID)
And the query I wrote to that gave me all the subgroups I need to get to where I want I think.
select u.ID, Name, RoleID from UsersInRoles
inner join Users u on UserID = u.ID --This is only to return a name rather than ID
order by ReviewerRoleID, Name
Using the recommendation by Tim, I may use some codebehind like this to bind to each respective drop down list. The one concern I have is that I'm performing a query for each Role which poses a potential burden on the server every time the page is accessed by a user.
Private Sub PopulateUserInRoleCombobox(ByVal key As Integer, ByVal ddl As DropDownList)
Try
Dim dt As New DataTable
Using connection As New SqlConnection(ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings("tcomConnectionString").ConnectionString)
Dim spSelect As New SqlCommand("spGetUserInRoleList", connection)
[code]....
how best to write the Javascript for styling each list item depending on if it's a member of the given role or not.

I need to extend a combobox to disable some listitems (i.e splits - "----------"). I reckon some APIs will be involved, and it could get complicated. That'll not put me off though. If anyone with usefull info on the subject could post it,

I have a combo box with a list of Coordinator IDs, one Coordinator can run many subjects. On another form I have a list box that contains a list of the subjects, and another list box that has the coordinator that teaches the subject. The positions match up, i.e if there is a match for the co-ordinator ID in the list box at position 3, I want to extract the subject list box at position 3 also. The problem is 1 coordinator can teach more than 1 subject. Basically I want to show the subjects taught by the Coordinator the user selects in the combo box. I have tried the following but have had no luck:

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.

I am using VB.NET together with ADO.NET to create a program. I have set my TableAdapters as needed and bound the correct tables-columns to my comboboxes.My problem though is this:My combobox2 item is bound to a datatable. The table adapter's Fill method (the select command basicaly) includes a public variable in the where clause to fetch the correct results. I ll put some code here to clarify it a bit more.Public Class Frm_inv

I'm making a combobox on a form. I want the combobox to have a list of choices from a table in a db. The two columns are a String and a Date. I want the date column to only show the year. I'm hoping I have the code right as it is above, but I'm not positive I've done the whole date thing right.

So I want it to remove any text in the list box that has a "Job" in it and just replace it with a blank nothing.
Like if the listbox looked like this
Yardjob
jobsong
redjob
then it would change it to this
Yard
song
red
I also would like a way of removing any blank items from the listbox.

I have a form in my vb.net application used to take the data about the returned stock. The form contains two comboboxes. One, named combobox5, contains invoice numbers and the other, named combobox3, contains party codes. Both the comboboxes are pre_loaded using sqldataadapter.
Now what i want is to change the party code in combobox3 when the invoice number is changed in combobox5. Elaborating it further, When Stock is issued the party code is stored along with the invoice number to keep track of to which party was the stock issued. Now when stock is returned i want to keep track that which party has returned the stock and i want that the party code should be automatically selected when the invoice number is changed and it should be what is stored in the database against that particular invoice number....
I'm using the following code for doing so:
Private Sub ComboBox5_SelectedIndexChanged(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles ComboBox5.SelectedIndexChanged
' defines a new connection to the database
Dim con As New SqlConnection("Data Source=TAHA;Initial Catalog=ADT;Integrated Security=True")

I'm making an application that does some stuff involving the given subject, so this is very crucial to the completion and efficiency of my application.What I'm in need of today is simple (well, "seems" simple). I have one listbox that I want to populate with directories file's names. I don't mean the files inside the directories, but the names of the folders inside the directory.So, I have "c:empdog", I'd click on my button or whatever and search for the directory and I choose "temp", said listbox would show "dog".
UPDATE: Oh, BTW. It doesn't HAVE to be a listbox, it can be anything (IE: Textbox, Labels, Etc.).

Why is this code having the opposite effect? If It's checked in the checkedlistbox it's not check in my view, if it's not check in my checkedlistbox it is checked in the grid.
EDIT: More specifically. The CheckState.Checked is always the opposite. .Checked means it's not checked.
Private Sub CheckedListBox1_ItemCheck(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.ItemCheckEventArgs) Handles CheckedListBox1.ItemCheck

I have a combobox in an app that auto-populate. Some of the items have the same name and so there is the problem: when an item is selected and there is another one w/ the same name , when the combobox is clicked again, the fisrt item with that name is selected, not the one that was clicked.
for example:
there is a combobox with the following items:
aaa
bbb
ccc
ddd
ccc
I open the combobox. I click the last ccc. I open the combobox again and the first ccc is selected, not the last.

In VB.Net for an ASP project I was able to do the following:
Dim Item As ListItem While DataReader.Read Item = New ListItem Item.Text = DataReader.Item("CustomerName").ToString Item.Value = DataReader.Item("CustomerNumber").ToString Me.lstCustomers.Items.Add(Item) End While
However in a VB.Net Windows Project it won't let me duplicate this.
I need to display the CustomerName but return the CustomerNumber of the selected customer
I am also adding the items in code because they are changing based on changing values.

I'm in the process of converting an Access 2007 database to vb.net (in visual studio 2010). I want the user to be able to maintain the items in these comboboxes....adding, updating, and deleting any item they choose. In Access, I had a button which would display the combobox items and allow the user to maintain. Upon leaving this display, the combobox would be refreshed. Is this the best practice for vb.net? Would it be any different than what I'm doing now in Access?

So, I've been reading around on the internet and through MSDN trying to find a way to add thousands of items to a combobox without taking 12 seconds.I KNOW, I'm going to incite reflex-responses involving: bad design; use categories and filter; use BeginUpdate ...Here's the thing.I've read through a lot of similiar forum questions as the one I'm asking and none really seemed to answer the question, but these responses are common.The problem is, there is no way to further categorize.I have thousands of customers and each customer can have anywhere from 1 to tens of thousands of designs.The designs have to IDs: DesignID and DesignTitle. The data entry people sometimes have the one and sometimes have the other. If they have the DesignID than all they've got is a number ranging from 1 to (at this time) 60,000. One Customer has 11000 designs. I don't know of any way to further categorize.The reason I use a combobox is for autocomplete. Also, with most customers there are only 10-20 designs, but for some there are thousands.I have to have one practical solution that handles all possibilities.
As far as BeginUpdate or SuspendLayout is concerned, neither have any effect.The sad thing is, the DataSource takes less than a second to load from my DataBase.It's just the setting of the datasource for the combobox that takes so long.It seems to iterate through the entire list once for the bindingsource and then again when I set the DisplayMember.I can set the display member before I set the binding source but that doesn't make any difference in terms of performance.Performance is improved by almost half when I don't use a BindingSource and just set the Combo's DataSource to the List directly, but, sadly, I need to use the bindingSource because there are multiple Combos using the same list.I know WPF uses virtualization for it's combos,.On the internet I found a Technical document on how to implement a Virtual Combobox in C#, but the code was incomplete and I don't really have the time to spend several days creating and debugging something like that.

Is it possible to disable some items in a combobox?Depending on the current mode that my application is in, certain items need to be enabled or disabled.I know that I could remove the items and rebuild the combobox but in this case I think that by showing the items greyed out it gives the user feedback as to what mode they are in and what options would be available to them if they decided to switch modes.
