I want to update the contents of a combobox in a VB program. So I change the underlying data structure (which is an ArrayList), and according to the documentation in [URL] there's a RefreshList method which should do this. But Visual Studio tells me that there's no such method, and when I type it in manually I get an error saying that RefreshList is not a member of System.Windows.Forms.ComboBox.

I have a combobox which is populated using a tableadapter. I set the selection to nothing on form load
Me.OfficersTableAdapter.Fill(Me.DsOfficers.tblOfficers)

How can I make the combo show the correct items ?
I can't figure out how to refresh the combobox on my main form after I have added or deleted an item to the table that populates the combobox. I use a separate form to add, change and delete items in the combobox table. I have tried different suggestions that I have found on the subject on the web. Nothing seams to work... Here is what I have right now that does not work.

I'm currently coding an ATM system in VB, and when a user picks a card to 'log on' with, they have 3 attempts to log on before the card is confiscated. The card numbers are in a combobox (which are retreived from an SQL database using the DataAdapter), and each card has a boolean 'confiscated' field in the database.

I have a databound combobox that displays a list of items, and I have a windows form that opens after clicking a button that allows me to make changes to the table that the combobox gets it's values from. When I make the changes and save them (successfully) and return to the parent window, the changes aren't reflected in the combobox. If I exit the app and launch it again the changes are reflected perfectly. I've tried me.combobox.refresh() on the forms GotFocus event, but no luck.

The card numbers are in a combobox (which are retreived from an SQL database using the binding source which is linked to a data adapter), and each card has a boolean 'confiscated' field in the database.
It does actually set the card to confiscated after the 3 tries, however I'd like the form to 'refresh' so the card no longer appears in the combobox, without having to close down the form and reload it. Is there a way to do this? I've tried refreshing the combobox and data adapter (.Refresh) but this does nothing

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.
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

I have a combobox bound to a dataset. I want the combobox to update when changes are made to the dataset.I thought i read soewhere that it is supposed to do that on its own when bound to a dataset but I don't see it happening.Now I am having to refill the combobox from the updated dataset.Is there a way to get that to work?
Code: Public Sub FillDomainDropdown() DomainDropdownDS.ReadXml(My.Settings.DomainDropDownList)
some code here that remove certian rows based on other conditions
With ComboBox1 .DataSource = DomainDropdownDS.Tables(DomainDDTableName) .DisplayMember = "Name" .ValueMember = "Name" End With End Sub
Then if the user makes changes I then call the above sub (from another form someone clicks "done") again to then refill the DS based on the new conditions.so it may add/delete rows from the DS and then fill it. But when its is called from the other class it does not 'refill'
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.

View 7 RepliesI'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?
View 5 RepliesSo, 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.
I'm trying to compare a item i have to enter in a combo box with an item already in the box (duplicating items). I've use the contains function but i need something that is case sensitive. Here is what i have so far

Is there any option to disable particular items in a combobox?? If No then how can i do that??
I have 4 items in Combobox. For each items( based on combobox selected index change) lots of other calculation is there. i need to display all items but in some cases second item should be disabled.
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.
