I need to load a large txt file that is in a fixed width format. There are over 45K lines, so speed is important.I need to load one of the fields into a dropdown box and have another field (label) display the text of another field in the related line.I could import the file to an access db if needed, but would rather not as i also want the txt file to update from a link on a regular bases. So having it in a DB would be more work to process that part.[code]

I have the following linq statement to go through a dropdown menu's sub items and get what items are checked: vb Dim UnselectedItems = From xItem As ToolStripMenuItem In tsiSelectObjects.DropDownItems Where TypeOf xItem Is ToolStripMenuItem AndAlso CType(xItem, ToolStripMenuItem).Checked = False
I get this error tho: Unable to cast object of type 'System.Windows.Forms.ToolStripSeparator' to type 'System.Windows.Forms.ToolStripMenuItem'. As you can probably guess i have ToolStripMenuItems and separators in there
However the AndAlso should short circuit in the case where the item is not a ToolStripMenuItem and it doesn't seem to be doing so (as TypeOf xItem Is ToolStripMenuItem=false in this case)?

I am trying to build a context menu for a little "random quote" generator project. Most of the context menu for the NotifyIcon I can create at design time, but I need to create a submenu of file names that the user can choose (check) to be included in the quote population.
I originally did this in VB6 and it worked, now I get a Null reference error. The problem occurs in the Sub BuildChooseFilesMenuItems. Code follows. (Basically, I need to read in the filenames, make them menuitems and keep track of their "checked" state. It is dynamic because the user could add new quote files to the directoryy where they are stored.

how to add further items to a dropdown control on the ribbon.
So far I have been able to create a number of items manually and then afterwards change the label of these items using
Globals.Ribbons.Ribbon1.DropDown1.Items(i).Label
Furthermore I found that some recommend using this to add further items to the dropdown control. But I am having a hard time trying to understand how to use it.
Globals.Factory.GetRibbonFactory.CreateRibbonComboBox.Items.Add
I would like to see a sample of how others have done it.

In my VB.NET (desktop) application I'm adding items to a dropdown box like this:
Me.mnuSetup.DropDownItems.AddRange(New System.Windows.Forms.ToolStripItem() {Me.mnuAddUser, Me.mnuDeleteUser, Me.mnuChangePassword, Me.mnuClearLog, Me.ToolStripMenuItemClearStatusWindow, Me.mnuSep1, Me.mnuRefreshFileTypes, Me.mnuOptions, Me.TestHTTPSUploadToolStripMenuItem})
I only want the Me.TestHTTPSUploadToolStripMenuItem to be added if a boolean is true. How would you put an if condition inside this AddRange method?

I'm making a program that uses recursion to transform the nodes in a treeview to the items in a contextmenustrip. The nodes will have tags within them that when I add a handler to the menuitem, it will run through a script from the tag to tell the program what to do, the only problem is that I don't need a tag or an even handler for any of the menuitems that have dropdown items. How could I do this?

I added a setting in my.settings, the setting is a listbox, and I know you can put controls in a listbox, but for some reason it will not let me add a toolstripmenuitem to the listbox in my settings. Is there a fix to this?

I have my program set up to read the contents of a Directory, and then populate a drop down menu with the names of the files in the directory. (I am using the MenuStrip). Inside my program, it is also set up to create a new file in that directory, and I wish to add this item to the dropdown menu upon creation. The list is entirely created and populated from the code, and the contents of the list depend entirely on what's in the directory.
I have tried using MenuStrip.Items.Remove(menuItem1). Now, when this command gets executed, it does remove the top level Menu, however when I go to repopulate the menu, I end up with duplicates of my files listed in the drop down. I am stuck with how to clear these out as well?

The dropdown box displays all the items previously added to that column.
I want the user to be able to enter a new value OR just pick a previous value from the dropdown list. (This is when inserting a new row)
Problem:
Whenever I enter a value, it jumps around in my table like its on acid or something. Whenever I select a value from the list, it takes me to the line in which the value was originally entered.
How do I get it to do what I want.

My ComboBox's Items have 2 parts, code and content. I want to set code part to the comboBox's Text property.
I've set so that when I select an Item, only the code part of that Item is displayed in the comboBox. But when I click the DropDown button, the whole Item's text(code part and content part) is displayed in the comboBox.
Can I set the comboBox's Text when the DropDown button is click?

I have a combobox and have 10 items in it (Name of countries). I want to make the users life easy so that when they click inside the combobox and start writing then the text box will start predicting the rest of the text in the combo box. i.e. if i start writing "U" then the textbox will start predicting "UK" as "UK" is already a pre-populated item in the combobox.
How can I restrict the user from selecting only values within the pre-populated items of the combobox. Bearing in mind the combobox allows the user to write inside it (for the benefit of predictive text). But lets say there are values of UK, USA then I dont want the combobox to accept the value of "Ukraine" when the user clicks away from the combobox.

I have a serious problem, I have 3 listboxes, and all three of them will get items that contain no text. My problem is that I have the same code for all three listboxes to remove "" from the listboxes except one listbox will not remove the items. I've tried countless times to remove the empty items and failed. So how do you see if a listbox's item contains no text?
