View 1 RepliesI have a combo box that has a drop down list with long values in the drop down
Ex:
LB - Pounds
GR - Grams
When the user selects on of the values I want to just show the Abreviaqtions and not the descriptions. So when the drop down is shown it shows
LB - Pounds
GR - Grams
When the user selects "GR - Grams" from the drop down list "GR" is the only this shown in the combobox. I've tried TextChange,SelectedIndexChange and SelectedValueChange but I can't get them to work.
How to query a record in vb.net using combo or textbox via linq to sql like the search engine? Just like when you search in google or youtube, once you typed in the initial string on the textbox or combo box it will show a drop-down list. I tried to use it in my application using linq method but the problem is it would duplicate on the first string that you entered on the dropdown list if that record exist on your database after you press the space key. I used the code below which duplicates the records on the drop-down list when you type in your string after the space key.
I just want it to be like in any search engine that when you type in the string or your initial string, it will display on the drop-down list all the records from the database that contains the string you entered without duplication. In my case, I'm trying to query a name from my database. This is how it should work, For example, if you type an initial string in the textbox or combo box a named 'Mark', it should display all the names from the database containing 'Mark' into the drop-down list before it changes into its final string that you entered.
Here is the codes I used:
Private Sub ComboBox1_TextChanged(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles
ComboBox1.TextChanged
Dim db As New MultipleDatabaseOperationDataContext
Dim search As String
search = ComboBox1.Text
[Code] .....

UINT nFileType
);

but I can't figure out what value should I pass in for nIDComboBox parameter (I tried and handle do not work here!)

View 3 RepliesI would like my gridview to be filtered by the dropdown list I have. It is pulling specific information from the database, so when you choose a value from the dropdown list, it should search through all the records and find only records with the ddl value in them.
The code that I am using in the codebehind for the SelectedIndexChanged is not right though. I get an error message saying 'Value' is not a member of 'Integer'. This is on the line dsCompanyFilter.SelectParameters.Add
It probably has something to do with the gridview not tying to the dropdown list properly, but I am not sure how to fix that code.

Given a datagridview, using complex binding I have a datagridviewcomboboxcolumn that displays data from a different table. My question is: when the dropdown list of the comboboxcell is shown is it possible to display a different text than the DisplayMember, lets say more detailed?I search for a solution but could not find any.
View 3 RepliesI am not sure how I could achieve this: allow the user to select a value (string) from the dropdown list of a ComboBox and display another value in the editable text. The user can modify this displayed value as well. In VB6 I had a combobox where the list property contained a two dimensional array. When the user selected a value from the dropdown list, the displayed value was set using the second dimension of the array. Something like this:
