Tell If SuggestAppend List Is Showing In A Combo
Oct 28, 2009
I need to be able to check from code whether the SuggestAppend List (not sure if that's it's proper name, I mean the dropdown that appears when you start typing into a combo whose auto-complete mode has been set to Sugest Append) is currently showing. Basically I'm looking for something similar to the DroppedDown property but applying to the SuggestAppend List rather than the Drop Down. Can anyone tell me what property I should be looking at?
The reason I need this is I need to do some work when a user cancels an edit in the combo by pressing escape. I've trapped the escape keypress but this only represents an edit cancellation if the dropdown list and the suggest append list aren't currently showing (otherwise the escape just closes the list).

Private Sub DataGridView1_CellBeginEdit(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.DataGridViewCellCancelEventArgs) Handles dgvProduct.CellBeginEdit
ComboBox1.Visible = True
ComboBox1.Select()
ComboBox1.Focus()
ComboBox1.Text = DataGridView1.Item(0, DataGridView1.CurrentRow.Index).Value
End Sub I have a datagridview, all i want to happen is when i click on the cell (on columns(0)) the combo Box will appear (combo box is with item) so i will select the items on list.. after selecting the item it will display on the current datagridview cell. now my problem is when im Begin Edit, the focus should go to the Combo Box in order to select the item by Keyboard and not by mouse..

I have a combo box that needs to be autoupdatable. I know you can set the AutoCompleteMode to SuggestAppend and have the combobox suggest as you type values that are in a combobox's items list. My question is this, Is there a way to have this same functionality happen with a databound combobox? I have a combobox that is bound to a Dataset and it will only suggest the first letter typed in the items list. If I type a different letter it jumps to another section in the list corresponding to the new letter typed.Does anyone know how I can get around this and have the SuggestAppend functionality be available in a databound combobox?

I have a ComboBox on my form and I am trying to create a SuggestAppend for AutoComplete as the end user types. However, I am getting an ArgumentOutOfRangeException when I press the first letter. Then System.Data.DataRowView automatically populates the ComboBox. [Code]

I know we can easily limit the number of items in a listbox to be listed. But how to limit the items that are suggested. Like for example, when i type "Co" (using AutoComplete feature ) it will automatically suggest me up to 20 - 30 items that has the word "Co" in it. But i want to limit it to 5 items only. The suggested 5 items, are the top 5 of the list.

I currently changing an in-house Access Database to Visual Basic 2010. Since they are used to tabs in Access, I decided to use MDI Parent and MDI Child. What I dont allow is for the user to change the size of the Child. With that, I used a menu strip making one of the items [Open Windows] the MdiWindowListItem which worked great for awhile. Now I can not get any list to show no matter how many windows are opened. About the only thing I can think of that may or may not be the issue is I allow another MDI Child attached to the Parent from the MDI Child. Like below:
With newForm
.Text = formTitle
.MdiParent = Management
[Code]....
Even with removing this code to test it this caused it still had the same issue. I even went as far as adding a new menu and attaching it to the MdiWindowListItem with the same results.

I have 5 combo boxes that need to show the same list of items that come from a single dataset table. I have managed to bind the datatable to the combo boxes no problem at all.. but when I run the application and select an item from one of the combo boxes all the others change to the item I selected. After some research I believe that this problem is something to do with using the one datasource so I have tried assigning the dataset datatable to 2 different variables and used them as datasources for 2 of the comboboxes but the same still happens.
A work around to this I can see is to call the same methods and SQL select statements 5 times over to get individual datasources for each combo box but this doing that sounds crazy to me. how I can get around this easily? Code snippet below shows 2 combox boxes and their datasources. I'm using VS2005, .Net 2
ComboBox1.DropDownStyle = ComboBoxStyle.DropDownList
ComboBox1.DataSource = AllergyListDataSet.Tables("ListOfAllergies")
ComboBox1.DisplayMember = "Condition"

I am trying to create a WPF browser application that allows you to search and display recipes. The combo box presents choices, the Ingredients display in one list box and the "cooking" instructions appear in the other list box. What's happening is the first time you make a selection from the combobox nothing displays, and this could be happening because the first line of code under Selectionchanged clears the List Boxes however, it should be populating those list boxes with content, shouldn't it? Anyway, as you make other selections List boxes 1 & 2 get populated but they do not match what displays in the Combo box, i.e. if you select "Easy Taco Dip" any random recipe might appear in List Boxes 1 & 2.

Basically I need to create a form that will display a summary of the population trend for each species of butterfly from a database that I have.I will do this by having the user select which butterfly species he/she wants to view from a combo box and then the list box will display the count_2010 and count_2011 information for that butterfly species.
I have managed to link my combo box to the database but I am unable to get any information to be shown in my list box. I can use a select case and input text myself but I don't want to do that as in another form records need to be added. Is it possible to have the relevant fields from the access database show up in the list box after the user selects a species from the combo box?

I have a project that currently uses an XML config file to create some groups. Based on these groups, you can search a database for information. What I want to do is create a form for editing that file. I can get to the information via messagebox, but when putting it into a ComboBox, I can't get the list updated. I have tried the text property which only populates the initial selection, and the Items is a read-only property. Nothing else looks close to what I want to do.
My other thought is to populate a datatable with the information and then populate the combo box from the database. It seems like an extra step that I shouldn't need, but it may be the only option right now.
The reason it can't be hardcoded is that the XML config file is already being used by a program, and the file may be updated from two or three computers, meaning I need a central location for the file.

Ok what I have is a combo box with a set of default items but i want the user to be able add new items to the combo box's item list. i currently have a text box and a command button for the user to use to add new items to the list with this code attached
ComboBox1.Items.Add(TextBox1.Text)
when the program is closed the item is no longer in the combo box items list.
so what i would like to know is the correct code to make the additions to the combo box's items list permanent or at least until the user chooses to remove them.

I have 3 combo boxes on a form. They are all going to load the same list. This list is in a database. My first thought was to attach the list to the combo boxes as a datasource. That would require me to create the datasource 3 times to load the same list. To me that seems terribly inefficient. If I attach all 3 combo boxes to the same datasource (list object) then when one cboBox value changes, they all change. So my thought is to load the list once into a list object, then create a loop that loops through each item in the list and adds it to the 3 combo boxes.
