VS 2008 Changing Bound Data When Entering Text In ComboBox?
Aug 9, 2009
I have a data-bound combobox that pulls values from a BindingList(of T). Combobox loads fine, correct values are displayed (I'm not using SelectedItem or SelectedValue). I'm using properties and connecting the data to the control via a bindingsource.
What I want is if the user types text into the combobox, I want the data from the bound table to change to that new text, i.e. edit the bound data directly.
Easy as pie to do with a textbox, but can't seem to get a combobox to work this way.
I was trying to use the validated event of the combobox to write the data to the datasource, but it doesn't fire when I press enter. Is that the way to do it? Can I not link the data to the combobox directly?
I have this test form where I'm testing the idea, but ran into a snag. Now the main idea is to load all the data from a dataset into the one column of the datagridview. This works perfectly as shown in the image. Now there is something that I want to happen, but just can't get it right. when on the DataGridViewComboBox Column I also want to be able to type in my own data if the one I want is not available in the combobox.
Also if there are 50 values in my combobox and 2 of them are: jacky, jacson When I type jac, I want the combobox to only give me the options starting with "jac"
Here is the code that I'm currently using: Dim dt As DataTable Dim dsNewDataset As New DataSet() Dim i = 0, intSetArray As Integer = 0 Public Function JT_PullDataWithCOLUMNS1(ByVal Cols As String, ByVal TableName As String) As DataTable [Code] .....
Is there a way to prevent a user from entering data into a ComboBox, rather then selecting, or can anyone suggest a routine to catch and prevent entries so the user can be made aware the they are not acceptable?
with more control over changing values in a data bound DataGridView.On form load, all the data is pulled down from the attached database and fills the gridIf I want to change one of the values in the grid, I can put my mouse cursor in the cell, change the entry and save it back to the database.
None of the Microsoft videos I have watched, or the other posts I have seen, have given me the pieces I need to understand this process. This is the one key piece of understanding that I need to finish about 4 different programs I have started in the last 2 years. All of them key on understanding the following processes:
I have created a search/query facility after watching one of Beth Messi's videos. I notice that we can convert the textboxes on the auto generated search toolstrip to buttons, comboxes, etc. So, when we wanna search for a data in the datagridview, we enter a keyword. I wonder if it is possible to change the textboxes to comboboxes and make it bind to the datasources, so that users can use the drop down, instead of typing?
[edit]oops - stupid typo - this is resolved and explained in the next post[/edit] I've got a BINDING SOURCE - that I bind to controls - textboxes mostly. I create a row in the datatable behind this BINDING SOURCE like this.
I have a combobox2 this is bound to a datasource, which is an arraylist calledListItems.Everything is correct after the first For Next Statement - the listbox1Combobox1, and ComboBox2 all have 11 items. After the second for next loop, Listbox1 and ComboBox1 have 6 items, but ComboBox2 has 11 items, even though ListItems has only 6 items.
i would like to enter data from a textbox called textbox1.text into my access database called Stocks.mdb. Browsing the internet, i have gotten close but still cant get it to insert the correct data. Currently my code is:
My aim is to insert commands in to a console such as command prompt (except it isn't command prompt its actually a console engine for a game) and the commands will have shortcut buttons aswell which I can do my self, not a problem. My actual problem how ever is that I dont know how my vb form would recognise the process it needs to type in and how it would even find the text box to auto type the pre configured commands which I would have configured inside my form.
I want to make it so I have a form and a button and a web browser. The web browser will automatically load to a website that has boxes to fill in. In google chrome when i right click on the text box i can find the element or whatever its called. I am just wondering how I can make it so when I press the button it will change the text of the textbox on the website to whatever I want. Also how to make it press a button on a web browser as well.
On my app. there is a lot of labels created by code (Please see my post "Filter text before Data Binding) how can I by clicking on one of this labels have the app respond by bringing up a text box bound to the same field so that changes can be made to that field?
I want it so every time I click an ITEM in the Listbox it displays ALL the data into the textbox. I know there's an easy way using table adapters and binding the listbox, but I'd prefer to do it this way for my project.
I wantt o change the selected item in a combo box if a user enters a name which is already in my dataset. The Combo Box is linked to my database set and all the other text boxes are linked using my databindingsource.How can I do this, I have this code but it does not change it.
vb.net Try Dim name As String = "" Dim inputname As Object = TextBox1.Text
In my application, I have a data bound form using a binding control (built by the wizard). The application has one primary data screen plus a few more on tabcontrol subscreens.Picture for example that the tabcontrol has two tabs, tab1 and tab2.When the form is displayed, tab1 is visible.Now picture the form or window split in half the top part of the form has a few textbox controls bound to the data and there are a few textbox controls in the lower half of the screen on tab1 of tabcontrol1.There are a few textbox controls on tab2 as well.When the form displays, I can access any of the .text properties of any of the textbox's that I can see on the form and in tab1 of the tabcontrol.BEFORE tab2 is chosen or even, I need to get some of the data from the .text property on a textbox control that is on tab2.I have tried to get the data but as far as VB is concerned, it does not appear to be there UNTIL tab2 is displayed.
To prove this, I put a command button on the form and it simply does this: MSGBOX (mytext box33. text)mytextbox33 is a databound control on tab2 of the tabcontrol1.tab2 is not in focus and apparently, neither is the data.how can I read the .text property of a textbox that is on a form but the form (or tab) is not in focus?
In my app I have a combobox and a sub wich handles the SelectedIndexChanged. It all works fine, but if the user goes crazy with the mouse scrollwheel changing the selected item in the combobox, the program will sometimes stop working for different reasons.
Now, what I want to do is to make some sort of sleep/wait function in the SelectedIndexChanged event handler, so that if the index hasn't changed in let's say 100 milliseconds, it will continue the code. If the index has changed, it will wait until the user has finished going crazy
What is the best solution to accomplish something like this? I've been thinking about using Thread.Sleep, but I can't find the correct way of doing it.
After I have retrieved my data from my access database, I would like to insert text into one of the columns in a new row. Is this possible? Here's a snipit of my code I use to retrieve the data from access:
If con.State = ConnectionState.Closed Then con.Open() sdr = cmd.ExecuteReader() rtime = Now()
[Code]....
It's the rtotal_time value that I need to insert into a new row, in and cell, the datagrid.
I would like the user to enter positive numbers (decimal or whole numbers but no fraction) using combobox. However the user can only enter the numbers using a number key pad built in the combobox. The number key pad will appear once the user click the down arrow of the combobox (I am not sure if there any predefined feature built into vb.net 2005 that has this property). The number key pad should contain the numbers 0-9 and decimal(.).
I am trying to get the button to be enabled/disbaled based on the property. The properties value changes fine, but it's not updating the button's IsEnabled property.
I have a class which I'm binding to a series of textboxes, date pickers and so on. When I change text in the text boxes, the object updates just fine, and when I then save the data, it has the changes. My problem seems to be with the RTB ... if I bind to the .Text property, it works just fine and updates like any normal text box. However... when I bind to the RTF property... changes to the object don't happen unless I first click out of the RTB... quite annoying. If I edit the text or change the formatting, and hit the save button, the changes don't get reflected in my object. I've even tried using debug statements to track when the property is changed, and I'm not getting the results I desire.
I have a DataViewGrid1 that has two hidden fields that the user cannot view. Code and Name.Code is a primary key field and must be manually set prior to inserting into table. It is currently giving me an error saying that code cannot be NULL. The following is the code that I have:
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load Me.SIZERUNSTableAdapter1.Fill(Me.Corkys_ProdDataSet.SIZERUNS)
On the main form of my application, I have a Rich Text Box which is where the user will be entering information. The text is black. then, i have a button which calls the dialogue "Notes" A dialogue appears, with a rich text box. the user should then be able to enter text into the box, click "OK", and the text entered into the Notes dialogue be inserted to the rich text box on the main form -- with the font colour "Red". The rest of the text in the main rich text box on the main form should remain black.
Is there a way to add rows to a DGV as I want to add information from another form to the DGV. The .Rows.Add() does not work as I am told I can not add rows to a data bound grid.Short of unbinding the DGV and re writing everything, I can not see how to do it.
I have this code: Module Module1 Dim x As Integer = 1 Dim y As Integer = 1 Dim arr(x, y) As String Sub Main() [Code] ..... And with it I'm trying to change the upper bound of array dimensions. But I get this error:"Index was outside the bounds of the array".
Im having a problem getting the selected values of a listbox that is data-bound..
vb.net Do Until CType(Ctrl, ListBox).SelectedIndices.Count = 0 For Each Index In CType(Ctrl, ListBox).SelectedIndices
[code]....
The error message says... "Operator '&' is not defined for type 'DataRowView' and string " "." And the only way I can get it to work is to pull out the & operator and change that line of code to this.
The SelectedItem text shows up in the controls current state while debugging, correctly.. but after I finish the execution it shows up as "System.Data.DataRowView"?
