Search Ms Access In VB Using Combobox And A Textbox
Dec 26, 2011
im a newbie, just want to learn vb.net (2010) wel im working on a vb2010 and msaccess2003
i wanted to search ms access data using a combobox and a textbox. i had several columns on ms access like emp_id , last name, first name, position, etc. every item name is already set on the combobox so my code is here for the search button
In my form, I have textbox + combobox to enter datas which are saved to ms access. I have search option too. Also i have DataGrid to show the result of the search. What I want now is, 1. To show the search result in the textbox/combox as well (I already am able to make the result show on datagrid)2. When there are multiple result showing on DataGrid, if i click on a particular result on DataGrid, let the textbox/combobox automatically loads the details of the one i clicked.
I've created a basic search form. I have a textbox with a search button and an Access Database as the backend. I have also added it as a new datasource. What I'm looking to do is grab the search string from one textbox and return the data to another textboxt. I have a table called "VehicleInfo" and I want to search the field in my table called "VehicleID" and return the vehicleID I searched for into another textbox. I'm really new to VB. I understand databases and basic code structure, I just don't have a good grasp yet on how these two work together.
Public Class frmMain Private Sub frmMain_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load 'TODO: This line of code loads data into the 'Garage_ServiceDataSet.Service' table. You can move, or remove it, as needed. Me.ServiceTableAdapter.Fill(Me.Garage_ServiceDataSet.Service) [Code] .....
I have a form with multiple combo boxes and text boxes making an invoice.. I have the combo boxes linked to my database and I want each selection to fill a different textbox. The comboboxes fill on form load... How can I fill the textbox with the selected index from the combobox?
In my form, I have TextBox/ComboBox to add data into MS Access. There is a Seacrh Option too, When I search it, the results are shown on a DataGrid on same form. When I click on a particular ROW on the DataGrid, the info of that row are displayed on the TextBox/ComboBox that I have, I m using this code for that :
Dim i As Integer i = DataGridView1.CurrentRow.Index cboPoll.Text = DataGridView1.Item(1, i).Value txtHn.Text = DataGridView1.Item(2, i).Value
I have three controls on my form; Textbox1, cboCity, lstCity When something (lets say "a") is entered in the TextBox1; I want to get each and every item in combobox cboCity that starts with "a" and add them to listbox lstCity.
have build some code which goes through the datasource finding records on what a user types, basically if the user types 'P' in the combobox it finds all records from FieldName with 'P' and if you type 'Portugal' it finds all records from the FieldName with 'Portugal, it all narrows down the search list say if there are to entries which match 'Portugal' the combox would only have to items in. The problem i am have is that when i bound the datasource back to the combobox every letter you type stays at Postion 0 of the combobox and doesn't move to the end of the letter as normally the combo works, does any one now how to get arround this problem.
At the moment i call my combobox search code from the keypress event of the combobox.This code works fine with recordsets in msaccess combobox but i cannot get it to work with the datasource of the combobox in vb.net Heres the code from the combobox keypress event:
Private Sub ComboBox1_KeyPress(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyPressEventArgs) Handles ComboSearch.KeyPress Dim keyascii As Integer = AscW(e.KeyChar) PhoneBookComboSearch(keyascii) End Sub
Below is the code at the end of my keypress event send the datasource back to the combobox.
Dim adapter As New SqlClient.SqlDataAdapter(strSQL, conn) Dim dt As New DataTable("MyTable") Dim ds As New DataSet
I have a datagridview with 2 columns, 1 is Batch_Number and another is Existing_Stock, there is about 6000 rows.My question is, I want to be able to write in a TextBox and hit a Search Button to search the Batch_Number column and filter out or highlight the row with the matching number to see the Existing_Stock
I have a tab control application, each tab loads a particular user control and each of those user controls will then add other user controls that are used amongst other the user controls. For example, I have an "ucQuotes" page and an "ucInventory" page, when the specific tab is selected, the "uc****" user control is loaded on that page, and in the case of "ucQuotes" and "ucInventory" they both use a control called "ucPartNumber"; a user control consisting of a combobox, textbox, and button. I have no issues reusing the shared user controls, in this case. My problem arises with my "ucQuickPrice" control, as it is always present at the bottom of the tab control form (separate from the tabcontrol, but on the same form), and it too uses ucPartnumber.
Here's my issue, as I type into the ucPartnumber combobox, the text I type does not appear in the combobox, it appears in the textbox of the ucPartnumber control that is being used on the tabcontrol page. There are no shared instances of ucPartNumber, nor do I have this issue between typing on one tab page and the text showing on the user control of another tab page.I tried just creating the ucPartNumber controls on the ucQuickPrice control, not adding a new instance of ucPartnumber on the .Load event, and the issue persists.
The combobox(s) in question are bound programmatically with about 40,000 items, ".datasource = dataset.tablename" not to a bindingsource. Autocomplete is set to none, I added code to utilize tool tips and the basic combobox filtering functionality. Is this a bug, or is there something I'm neglecting? I'm about 95% complete with this application, and this just happened today. I made the decision, to just reuse the ucPartNumber control on the ucQuickPrice control (originallly it's size and orientation would not fit, but I added some coding to detect what parent is adding ucPartNumber and to change its appearance accordingly). Before, I made this change, I did not have this problem. And, in trying to go back to how I had things set up before the change, the problem will not go away. if the whole control within a control verbage I used is a bit confusing, let me know and I'll try to better explain what is happening. At this point, I'm going to close and reopen vbexpress, as when I started this ordeal, vb started acting weird and wanted me to save all my work, it usually does this before locking up.
DataGridView TIPs has TextBoxes and ComboBoxes in it and the data comes from an SQL table. I see how to get or set the cell values that come from the ComboBoxes using Item, but how do I access the actual ComboBox events and properties?

I'm making a personal movie launcher and I would like to know if it is possible for VB to search my video folder and add the title of all the films to my combobox. (so that I don't have to edit a xml file everytime)
I am creating a movie player which lists movie files from various folders/subfolders in a combobox (tsFileList). I'd like to be able to enter the movie name into a textbox (txtSearch), find that text in the combobox (using instr), then automatically select the found item.I'd like to use instr as some of the items in the combobox contains full file paths.
I am Looking for a combobox that does a full search and O mean by that the following : It starts searching data upon inserting or adding new character to the textbox of the combobox and vice-versa, which means that if I moved back by deleting a character then it starts searching again selecting the first data resembles the textbox. In another way I want a combobox class does exactly the same as combobox in Encylopedia.
the combobox with AutocompleteMode,AutoCompleteSource allow the user to search in the Combobox depend on the begin of items(string) how i can develop the combobox to allow to me search inside items example i have combobox contain this items:
Regarding multi column search, i want to clear you the situation where one column contains say FirstName and the another column contains LastName for the 'Contacts Combo box', then when user types either FirstName or LastName for the person, combo box should search for the appropriate value into both columns.
for my fifth question consider the same combo box with FirstName, LastName all typed together shows in one column only then, by default combo box searches only for strings that 'Start' with the string typed in the textbox portion, insted of which i need a feature which allows me to let set the behavior of combo box search system tobe able to search for the typed strings within any part of record.i.e. If user types 'Ja' in textbox portion, the the list should show following maches

I am trying to make a simple program that will have three texbox controls and it will have like a paragraph in textbox2 and I want to have key words that I type in TextBox1 and it will match the words from textbox1 and will find a line with the matching words. It will then show that sentence from TextBox2 in TextBox3.
This is what I have so far but cant seen to get it to work:
Dim search As String = txtSearch.Text If txtMain.Contains(search As System.Windows.Forms.Control) Then MessageBox.Show("Connection Activated") End If
I have a combo box on my application (working with VB.net) called CmbAttendantstatus. I have sent the dropdownstyle = dropdownlist at the Properties level of the combobox.
There are 200 field types e.g; Current Attendant Ever Attendant Never Attendant etc
The issue is I can only select one from the list, fine, but I want to be able to type the first letter on the combobox and it takes me to the nearest field type rather than looking through the entire drop list. For example I want Never Attendant, I just need to type N and the drop list takes me to anything starting from N and if I add E for example any field starting with NE shows up for selection. Presently, when the dropdownlist is selected you are not allowed to type anything...

I have built a WindowsForms App in front of an Access database and now need to search through the data. This is for Insurance Policies, and I need to search by Registration Number of the Vehicles. The code is shown below, and is only for the search box. If I need to post more than that please say. i have tried a few different ways round, but can't get it to work. This code is incomplete but current.
Private Sub SearchButton_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles SearchButton.Click Select SearchTextBox.Text from [AurunaDataSet.Accubroker] where txtRegNo = "aRegNo" End Select End Sub
i have two fields(name,mark) in ms access table.now i want to search that through vb.net form using "name" field(not providing full name only a part or letter).In form i have one text box and a search button .the matches will be shown in same form.
I'm attempting to query an Access database using a search button from a textbox and insert the results into a listbox. Here's the code I have so far:
[Code]...
The problem I'm having is it's returning the both InstName and the StuName multiple times in the listbox. I'm guessing it's because I'm doing the items.add twice? I was trying to use "[oledbcommand variable name].parameters.addwithvalue" but I couldn't figure out how to do it with a "like" function.
I've been trying to make a little program that connects with an access database (2000). So far I've got a bindingnavigator that I can use to go through each record one by one, but now I'm trying to add a search button and I'm failing pretty bad with that.I'm wondering if anyone can help me out with how I could have something where the search button will take the name that the user searched for, and then find the corresponding record ID number - and then set the bindingnavigator to that record.I have managed to do something that searches and shows a record from ms access db before, I just am using the bindingnavigator for the first time and have no clue how I can set it to different positions.
