Setting Selected Item Of ComboBox On Form?
Mar 31, 2009
I have a combobox on a form which has data bound items, the datasource is a dataset called ShiftType that was created using the new data source wizard. The data consists of three columns ID, Name ,Description. Name is the display Member and ID is the value member. This form is called from a different form, a variable containing the shifttypeid is passed as a parameter. I am able to get this parameter across fine.
What I would like to be able to do is, match this parameter with the data in the dataset and find the row index and set that item as the selected item of the combo box. I am confused as to how to proceed with it. Also, I would like to add an extra item to the dataset apart from the items obtained from the database. This represents "NONE", i.e. so if the user doesn't want to choose a shift type they can use the None item. How do i add this without having to add a dummy value in the database.

Just started on vb.net
I have a combo box with "yes" and "no" with i select Yes i want the label2 to change the text to "yes" likewise with "no"
I've tried to code it in a logical way as possible but it just doesn't works except for the "wtf" so i think that overall my code is correct but the way i want to retrieve the selected item from combo box is wrong.
Public Class Form1

I can't seem to set the selected index or selected value of a DataGridView combobox when loading data from a database. My DGV has two combobox columns which are bound to datatables. The DGV itself is not bound initially. After adding a row, I select a value from each combobox which then populates the rest of the cells in the row. I'm using the EditingControlShowing event to add an eventhandler to catch the SelectedIndexChange of the combo boxes. This all works as needed. My issue comes when populating the DGV with saved data, I need to add the rows and set the selected index and/or selected value of each combo box. I've searched through various forums and articles for the last week with no luck.
I'm using VS2008 sp1, .NET 3.5 sp1 and SQL 2005 sp2 Express.

Ok, I'm trying to set a value to each item in my combobox, but I don't know how. Lets say I have ComboBox1 that contains the letter A-Z, 26 items, I would want to set each letter a specific number, then use that number for something else. Like, if I set the letter A to equal the number 4, and the user has chosen A in the combo, I could do something like make a Msgbox say that value(4). Does that make sense?

I am having a problem with using a value from a selected item in combo box. While debugging using breakpoints I can see that the combo box is working fine. The problem is I need use the selected value of the text box in HeatTransmissionCoefficientforAsinglePipeCalculation function and while debugging I saw that ThermalResistanceofTheInsulation, ThermalResistanceOfTheCarrierPipe, ThermalResistanceofTheJacketPipe all have a value of 0 when this is not the case...
This is what happens when use clicks ok:
Public Sub btnOk_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnOk.Click
' 1. Check if Metric or Imperial Units are selected.
' 2. Convert Entered Variables to opposite unit.
' 3. Determine what type of pipe is selected.
' 4. Determine what type of casing is selected.

I am very new to programming, I have developed my first application - an xps viewer. What I want to achieve is to be able to allow the user to select which document to open from a range of options that I have predefined in a combo box. I've searched all over the net and can't find an article that shows me how to do this. MSDN is bit too cryptic for me at this moment, so I get confused. PS> I think I'm using the FixedDocumentViewer (hope I wrote it right).

I have a combo box setup with 4 items, with indexes ranging from 0 to 3.
Later in my code, I need to do a certain event depending on what is selected. To do this I thought about comparing what the index of the selected combo box item is, because integer comparison is faster than strings, right?
how I can grab the index of the selected value?

I want to populate the combobox based on the selected item in the first combobox. The following code is written in vb.net 2008
Public Class Form1 Sub fillcombo()
strsql = "select * from device"
Dim cmd As New OleDb.OleDbCommand
cmd.CommandText = strsql
cmd.Connection = con
[Code] .....
For this code I am able to populate the first combobox and when I select the specific item in combobox then the second combobox shows only the first element of that item.
In MS access 2007 I have created 2 tables:
1) Contains the device ex:computer
2) Contains the device and its parts ex: cpu, monitor so here the device has duplicate values
Table names are device and parts.

I used a class MyList and with the Help of this MyList the combo box named cboCity was filled with City Code(like 1001,1002,etc..) as Value member and City Name (like Canada,California etc...) as display member.
Public Class MyList
Private _dispName As String
Private _valMember As Integer
Public Sub New()
[code].....
The value members 1001,1002,1003,1004 get inserted as per cbocity(combo box)display name selection , into the database and during the retrieval of the record the value member is obtained and based on that for eg:when i get 1001 the selected item should be Canada.I tried many ways while fetching the record and set the selected item but all fails .
