VS 2008 Background Of Form To Be The Same Color As The Window Frame Color That The User Selects

Jun 19, 2009

I want the background of my form to be the same color as the window frame color that the user selects, even if that changes. I selected System->WindowFrame as my background color, but it always remains a dark grey, regardless of what I have my window color set to. How else would I achieve what I want? I assumed I was doing it the correct way. Do I actually need code that gets the system window color and then apply it?

Combo Box In VB 2008?

Mar 28, 2012

How do you make the autocomplete feature on combo box in VB behave in the same way as one in VBA?

the VBA properties are as follows:
MatchStyle = fmMatchEntryComplete
MatchRequired = True

The VB properties are quite different and i havent got a satisfactory combination. I need it to suggest items from the list as i type but insist on a match with the list. However on VB forms, unlike VBA forms it doesnt show the suggestion in the combo box itself, but in a box beneath.

2008 DataGridView Combo Box

Mar 5, 2012

Below is the code to create a single Editable ComboBox column in a DataGridView on a form. I believe I have follwed the instructions to allow the user to input new values other than those in the list, however if you create a new project and add a button and a DataGridView control onto the form, then copy and paste this code and run the program, you will find that you cannot type any character in the edit box other then characters that exist in the list and only 1 character will be displayed at a time. I have set the Autocomplete value to 'False' and setting it to 'True' at least allows me to type more than 1 character but still not any strings that don't exist in the list.You can even remark out or not use the entire Call Validating sub routine to see the issue of not being able to type in the cell.

[2008] Default Value For A Combo Box?

Feb 13, 2009

I'm in a VB Class, so we're not doing anything doing anything too complex, but I'm writing a program using Combo Boxes as a drop down boxes.When I run the program, they come up blank, and I'm trying to set the property of the Combo Box to show up with "(None)" instead of just being blank, but I can't find the control to set the property for that. I have all my items in the collection, and I'm wondering if there is a control character that will denote it as default in the collection set similar to when typing & before a letter will denote it as an "Alt-Activated" control.
