I have a combo which contains a lot of different colours. If I press b it goes to the b's in the list and if I press it again it goes to the next b. Is it possible to jump to the colour as I type it so if I type blu it would go to blue. Currently it jumps to the first b when I type b but ignores the lu for blue.

the last value inserted into the access database will be add to the drop down list of their corressponding combo box.
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?

View 2 RepliesI 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.

View 2 RepliesOk 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.

View 5 RepliesI 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).
I have been using the combo Box keypress event to capture the enter key when it is being pressed by the user within the combobox. The combo box style I am using is Drop Down. When there are no items in the combo box list the keypress event will capture the enter key. When I add any items to the list portion of the combo box the keypress event not longer captures the enter key. How do I capture the enter key when the combo box has items in its list.

I hope this question is sufficiently clear I'm trying to port an application that I wrote in Access VBA to VB 2010 express and SQL Server. In Access, when the user enters an item in a combobox that is not in the item list an event is fired ("not in list") from which I can set up records in related tables. How can I do the same in VB? I can't see any equivalent to the "not in list" event.
To be more explicit with an example. An address consists of Street, e.g. "23 Acacia Drive", Town, e.g."Wilton" and County, e.g. "Oxfordshire". When entering a new address, the form first requires a street entry in a text box. Next, a Town entry in a combo box which is populated with towns already in the address table. If an existing Town is selected the (previously disabled) County field is automatically filled from that town's County as read from the database. If a new Town is entered the County field is enabled and the user either selects an existing County or adds a new one which is added to the database using similar logic on the not in list event.

I'm very new to programming with Visual Studio(just a few weeks). I've read through a beginner's book and I've started to write my first little programs to get used to coding and to improve my skills. One of the first programs I had created was a simple currency converter. I've created a list box and a combo box with a number of different currencies in them and I want to know if there is an easy way to attach a value to each of these selections. For example, if someone selects British Pound in the list box and Indian Rupee in the combo box, I want to be able to have the British Pound be worth 1.67(versus the dollar) and the Rupee to be 25.00(versus the dollar) for example so that I can create a simple function that will change pounds to dollars and then to Rupees so that I can do this calculation with a multitude of currencies. If you have some idea of how I can attack this problem,

When you first open the program it gives you a form with either a list box or combo box (not sure which one I want to use yet) and then an add button to add a name to the list. It shows the from where you enter a name and then when you add a name it adds it to a text file that I have saved onto the desktop. It keeps the names on separate lines and I want each line in the text file to be an item in a list box...
Here is the code for the first form:
Public Class frmEmployeesMeat
Private Sub frmEmployeesMeat_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load

when your resetting a form is it possible to deselect or not keep high lighted the item that was previously selected from the last entry.

Another example is that if a user selects "Media Player" from that combo box, the form with the combo box will close and the media player that I made will open. How would I program the combo box to do this?
