I know how to add the items during design time but how do you add the items through code. I want to fill the combo box in the datagrid with the results of an SQL query?
View 3 RepliesUsing Visual Basics Express 2008, I am trying to add items to a combo box FROM column headers in a datagrid in a separate form. I have written the code to create the datagrid from an external file but can not get the headers of that datagrid to populate the combo box in a separate form.
Here is my working code for Form1 (frmMain):
Private Sub cmdConvertTxt_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles cmdPart.Click
Dim dt As New DataTable

i wanted to link options selected from Comb box A (general) to specific options in combo box B (specific). I want to pick a word in Combo box A that has specific words/phrases in Combo Box B show. But not all the words to show in the combo box B if they aren't associated with the Word picked in Combo Box A. Ex.When "Soda" is picked in A, only "Coke, Sprite, Fanta" should be visible in combo box b, not everything else.This is the code i used to make the boxes, but i don't know how to link them.
Private Sub MainForm_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
' fills the combo boxes with values
Me.xGeneralComboBox.Items.Add("Soda")
Me.xGeneralComboBox.Items.Add("Juice")

How to use a databound combo box to display one field in the drop down, and another as the combo box text on roll up? Using VS 2005... For example, I have a datatable that has 2 fields. One called "ShortDesc" and one called "LongDesc". I want to be able to see the "LongDesc" column values in the drop down on the combo box. When I make a selection, I want the text in the combo box to read the corresponding "ShortDesc" value.

Combo box 2 is filled based on a selection made in combo box 1 and a listview is populated based on the selection made in combo box 2.When the LostFocus event completes in combo box 1, it hits the LostFocus event in Combo Box 2 but it shouldn't. How do I prevent this from happening or if I can't prevent it, how do I work around it? The following is the code used.
Private Sub cboCategory_LostFocus(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles cboCategory.LostFocus

I need some advice I have a bound datagrid and a bound combobox lookup on a form. What i want to do is filter the combo box so it only shows the items left that are not in the datagrid already.
I have managed to achieve this already.But when the program runs, and there are items displayed in the data grid the combo box items are now filtered.The program crashes as it can't display the combobox item as i have filtered them out. The program runs fine if the datagrid is empty (IE combobox items not filtered). But as soon as there is a record in the datagrid when i save the database and refresh the combo box the program falls over is the items it is looking for is not in the combo box items list.
What would a work around be. I have thought of a separate combo box that is hidden and use the datagrid combobox events to show it in the correct position.Just to be tedious the displayed item is not the stored item value
I've got this question while i'm searching the web for my problem.It's the same as mine ..I have a datagrid of three columns;
1. Comb-box1 : Employees' Names (DataSource : EmployeeBindingSource)
2. Comb-box2 : Coming Departure. (DataSource : DepartureBindingSource)
3. Text-box : ...............
* How can I filter or re-bind the source of the second one as the first one value changed (Both are in the same datagrid).>> So as I select an Employee I need the second one gives me just the specific departures of the desired employee.Where I have the (Employee_No) field connect the two tables related to each one.
I would like to implement a code which executes what a user selects from the combobox and display related data from the access database on the datagrid.I have managed to connect to my database.How do I connect the combo box action to display information on the datagrid?elow is a code that am using to read the contents of my table from the database and display it on the datagrid.

View 8 RepliesSo I've looked at some of the posts on updating the combo box and none of the methods seem to work for me.
I have two forms I will refer to as Parent, Child. The Parent form contains a combo box of Business names from my database. The Child form adds a Business to my database. After I exit the Child form I want the combo box on the Parent form to update with the new business.
Also I created the combo box by click-dragging the Business table from my Data Sources window to my form.
