Can someone tell me why this code works exactley the opposite of the way I thought it should?
[code]...
I have a combobox (cbKeyWords). I want to make sure tbAddEdit.Text does not already exist before I save. To me I should be testing for a False result not True. But the above code, goes to the msgbox if findstringexact=false and saves the data if it's true.

I have a combobox (cbKeyWords). I want to make sure tbAddEdit.Text does not already exist before I save. To me I should be testing for a False result not True. But the above code, goes to the msgbox if findstringexact=false and saves the data if it's true. Am I crazy or am I missing something? Shouldn't FindStringExact return false if it's not found?
I have a combo box that's filled from a query in the database. If I add a field to the database, the new field won't show up in the form until I close it and reopen it.
So, how do I refresh the contents of that combo box?
I bound the data onto the combo box like this:
[Code]...
So I'm using the following code to add items into my list box, and I'm trying to get it to check the contents of the list box as well.
Private Sub Button3_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button3.Click
If ListBox2.Items.Contains(TextBox3.Text) Then
MsgBox("Character already exists!")
Else
ListBox2.Items.Add(New LBnfo With {.v4 = RadioButton6.Checked,
[Code] .....
But when I try to compare the two:
If ListBox2.Items.Contains(TextBox3.Text) Then
MsgBox("Character already exists!")
Else
It doesn't show the message box even when the character actually does exist. I believe the problem is that I never do add the item really. I just use, "Return Me.character," which is assigned the value of Textbox3. So I just need to figure out how to check Me.character before returning it.
Brand new to VB 2008 Express, but have done some work in VB 6. Not sure what I'm missing, but here goes. I have two comboboxes linked to an Access 2007 database. One box lists the names of the States in the US.
This is what I used for the Table Adapter Configuration Wizard for the combobox "State" SELECT ST_UID, ST_NAME FROM STATE
For the combobox County I used: SELECT ST_UID, CTY_NAME FROM COUNTY ST_UID is an Integer.
I created a label with a bound value to STATE.ST_UID so that when a user selects the name of a state from the State box the appropriate ST_UID populates the label, (i.e, California has an ST_UID = 5).
The problem is when a state is selected, I only want the Counties for that state to appear in the County box, i.e, COUNTY.ST_UID = 5 if California is the selected state.
I then tried to convert the value in the st_uid label to an integer:
CODE:
This is what I last tried when again using the Table Adapter Configuration Wizard for the table that populates the County box: SELECT ST_UID, CNTY_NAME FROM COUNTY Where ST_UID = 'StUID' Order By st_uid, cnty_name
What I'm getting is a "Data type mismatch in criteria expression." I'm sure my error is something so simple.
I've been trying to fix this for a while now and have yet to find a solution that works, I want it so that when an item is added another of the same name cannot be added. Here's what I have
Dim i As Integer
For i = 0 To ComboBox1.Items.Count() - 1
If ComboBox1.Items.Item(i) = TextBox1.Text Then
'do nothing
Else

I can't populate my combobox with ANYTHING I code, and I don't like the click and pull system. it compiles, no exceptions, but it still doesn't populate my combo... this is the code

I want to check if two combobox values are equal. The comboboxes are in a datagridview.I found you need to use datagridview_EditingControlShowing to add a handler to the comobo boxes for selectedindexchanged. I can do this with this code.
Code:
Private Sub dgridRegisters_EditingControlShowing(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.DataGridViewEditingControlShowingEventArgs) Handles dgridRegisters.EditingControlShowing
Dim combo As ComboBox = CType(e.Control, ComboBox)
[code]....
However, the message box comes up for every combobox in my datagrid when I change the index, not just the cmbPort2. I would like to have something like this...
If cmbPort1.selectedindex == cmbport2.selectedindex then
'do something
endif
..but it doesn't seem possible.
How I could go about checking a typed value in a combo to the values in the combo box. I am making a system to select lockerID and Supplier ID I want the user to be able to enter the value in the combo box as well as select the value form the list in the combo box. Here is the code I have been trying.
If cboStockID.Text = "" And cboStockID.Text <> cboStockID.Items.ToString Then
MsgBox("Please enter Stock ID")
Exit Sub
ElseIf cboSupplierID.Text = "" Then
MsgBox("Please Enter Supplier ID")
Exit Sub
End If

When user key-in in ComboBox (not select from the list), I check with above all possible but still got nothing. According to my knowledge, .Contains(cboStudent.Text) should work. Right?

I am new to the forum and to VB, and not great at coding in general.I am learning, and this site as well as others have helped me get farther than I ever imagined. Second, my project is purely for my benefit, so I can learn.There is no corporate or school related goal here, just trying to learn.So the title is a summary of what I want to do. I have a form with a combo box that has five different choices, and below it, a checked list box. What I want is the collection inside the checked list box to change depending on what I select in the combo box above it.For instance, I have room 1 - 5 in the combo box, and the the checked list box below it, I have the furniture associated with that room.The eventual goal is to have this form populate a database, that allows the checked furniture to be recorded in a record.
I assume I need to use a db, such as access, to list the "furniture" in each room, and have a different table for each room, where the combo box selection will populate the checkedlistbox from the appropriate tables contents.I need a step by step on this, because I am a bit of a brick. Most tutorials are also done in VB 6 or VB 2008, and there have been steps missing in association to VB 2010.

View 5 RepliesI am trying to create a code where I placed sets of numbers in an array.I'll use a masktextbox to have the user enter the numbers to match what's in the array. If the user enters the number, ex: social, and the data is correct (matches the numbers in the array), something happens if the number entered in the masktextbox does not match any of the number sets in an array then another thing happens.The masktextbox so far only validates format and gets number only, however, I want the number entered to match whats in the array.

In the following code, a Date variable is declared but not set to anything:
Dim myDate As Date
What's the proper method of checking if the Date variable is "new" and not set to anything?
For example, getting the lowest date value from an array of dates:
Dim dtMostRecent As Date
For i As Intger = 0 To myDateArray.Count - 1
If myDateArray(i) < dtMostRecent Then dtMostRecent = myDateArray(i)
Next
In the code above, I need a way to check first if dtMostRecent is unassigned, in which case just give it the first value, after which it can be compared with subsequent values. How to check if a Date variable is unassigned.

I have 22 text boxes that have to be checked to see if the value has changed. I am using the TextChanged Event handler to do this thus:
Private Sub TextStringChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
DataChanged = True
RemoveHandler ........
[code]....
The Handler would be added after the data had been loaded. The question is:Is there another way of checking for text changes without having to add and remove 22 handlers.
