My combobox dropdownlist contains 60 to 65 items. So i want to show 5 items in the dropdownlist of my combobox and add a vertical scroll bar in it so that the user can scroll it and see the items. How to add a vertical scroll bar in the combobox dropdown list? I want to add this vertical scroll bar only when the dropdown list contains more than 5 items.

ComboBox drop up instead of drop down..i want to defualt for a particular drop down box to work this way how can i do it.
View 6 RepliesIs using Public Property the best way to achieve the following.From a drop down combobox, a list of options are available. Each option in the combobox has a number of public properties that need to be associated with it.When a option is selected, the user will then have two buttons that each call a different sub, the appropriate options are passed to the sub.Each option will always have the same properties required to be passed.So I'm looking at something like this.
Public Class Parameters
Public Property server As String
Public Property replica As String
Public Propery path As String

I have created a drop-down list box that holds 8 numbers representing a month span (3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 25 months). In order to prevent users from typing just anything into the text box above the combo box, I changed it to a drop-down listbox. The other requirement that I was hoping to implement was for the user to be able to type a number, after which the selection would jump to the appropriate item (i.e. the user types in '1', and the selection jumps to 12). This partially works. It will jump to 12, for example, but immediately after the user types the '1', the Selected Index event changes. The user cannot scroll down or up after typing in a number.

View 12 Repliesi seem to have a problem when i try to select a ComboBox item which is a drop down list. The ComboBox contains a list of various items where the user can select from a list, the type of query he/she would like to perform on an Access Database. Two of the items in the Drop Down List are "Employee Sales Between Specified Weeks" and the other item is "Employee Sales Between Specified Months" (without quotation). Now in my VB code, i have a really long If/ElseIf Statement which includes all the options the user can select. Additionally, if the user has selected a week query, he/she must select a From Week, a To Week and a Year (for example week 3 to week 5 year 2009). From Week is another combobox (1-53 weeks) and To Week is also another ComboBox (1-53).When the user selects a month query, he/she should select a From Month from a ComboBox (1-12) and a To Month from another ComboBox (1-12) and the year from the same Combobox (e.g 2009).
