Right now I am trying to make a combobox from a SQL table, it looks something like the following:
id|name|
---------
1|square
2|round
3|triangle
The combobox that I want should display the "name" parts, and I have made the code to display it correctly:
Dim dr As OdbcDataReader
cmd = New OdbcCommand(query, con)
dr = cmd.ExecuteReader
[code]....
I have 3 controls in my Form.Two Dropdowns and one textbox.My task is if i select a value in one Combobox then the related text should be display in other two controls.Ok I wrote a code in "SelectionChangeCommitted" event and now i am getting the values correctly.
View 1 RepliesHow 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
Again a little (for me) tricky thing:Supose you have a ComboBox control with predefined values - to keep it simple, let's add some colors:
- Blue
- Green
- Red
- Yellow
Now you have a TextBox control as well. If you type into the TextBox BLUE (non-key sensitive) I would like to make it recognize that this value already exists. It does not have to do anything else except for notifying me about a match.I do think that the TextBox1.KeyPress or TextBox1.TextChanged event is what I need but I have no idea how to compare to the ComboBox1 items. I've tried to create an Array of my ComboBox1.Items but didn't get much more than errors. Can anybody help? I am sure it is quite simple however, I can't get my mind set to go in the right direction
How Do I show the values from the dataset to the text box based on the selection from the combobox list i already populated the combobox my code is. [code]
View 3 RepliesI would like to load a combobox with some values from an access database. On form load I load my information into a data grid view but if the user wants to add more information or edit what is selected in the DGV I will enable some text boxes and a combobox to show the selected data. I have not issue loading from the DB into the text boxes but the combo box has me a bit stumped. I have 3 columns in the database, periodno, start date and end date. I want to display the start and end date concatenated together. When the user selects a period and hits the button I want the dates to set a variable with the periodno that matches those dates.

I want to make it so you can type a name into an input box and have it go into your combobox1. Then also have it to where you can load a list of names into your combobox from a text file where the text in the text file would be like this
NAME 1
NAME 2
NAME 3
NAME 4
So it will enter in the combobox1 like that. Also, This is an account maker, So I was wondering how I would make it so after it creates the account it will use the next text, can I just use the "Next" method?
Basically the application I'm creating has a login screen with two textboxes and one ComboBox... Once the user enters their first and last time for the first time it'll be stored in the combobox's index..Now my issue is this... Originally before I implemented the combobox the related user file name would be:"C:FicheStatsJohn SmithJanuary" + Ttbox1.text + Textbox2.text + ".txt"So basically the user filename would be JohnSmith.textBut now I want the user to directly select from the combobox and that the file name remains the same without space.... but in the combobox the name appears as John Smith.>
View 2 RepliesI've got a combobox - style DropDownList.
Three options - blank, EMAIL or PHONE - these three are set at design time.
Do I just bind the TEXT property of the COMBOBOX to the field in the DATATABLE?
This appears to be working fine - but I'm a bit confused about the purpose of SELECTEDVALUE in all this. I'm not binding to that.

so ive made a alarm clock, and i want you to be able to set you own time. so i have atleast 2 questions.
1. i got 1 label and 3 textboxes. in textbox1 the value is 02. t2 is 20 and t3 is 43. how do i do to make it post like this in label1? 02:20:43 i was using this
label1.text = textbox1.text ":"+ textbox2.text ":"+ textbox3.text
but that didnt work at all. and removing the "" didnt help.
2. and the second question is almost as same. how do i do to make the 02:20:43 apear in a textbox in form1 if 02:20:43 is written in form2?
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 a program that needs to display a playlist of songs, for a band performing someplace, from a .txt file. The songs in the file are listed as follows:
All You Need is Love-Beatles
Rock
4.25
[code]....
The first line is the song's title and group name. The second is the songs genre. The third line is the songs length, 4.25 is 4 minutes and 25 seconds.upon clicking a button, I need to display a playlist from this .txt file based on the number of minutes the band has to play, minutes entered into a TextBox, and the songs genre, selected from a ComboBox. The songs cannot repeat and must be random.I have already coded the program to read the .txt file but have not clue where to start with the rest.

I read a csv file into my .net program using ado.net and display it in a datagridview.In the file I have two rows. The first column is a component id, and it is supposed to be numeric. But the user can edit the csv file before having my program load it, and accidentally put text there. That is something I want to edit when he presses a button to add the data to the database. So let's say he puts a value of A in the first record and a value of 1 in the second record. Or vice versa. What is displayed in the dgv is a blank in the first record and a 1 in the second, or 1 in first and blank in second. If both csv records are A, then what is displayed in the dgv is an A in both the first and second records. I don't understand what is happening. The fact that there sometimes is a numeric in the column makes it think it is a numeric field and therefore only display numerics and blank otherwise, and the fact that there's always text in the column makes the code know it is a text field?
View 2 RepliesI have a tab control application, each tab loads a particular user control and each of those user controls will then add other user controls that are used amongst other the user controls. For example, I have an "ucQuotes" page and an "ucInventory" page, when the specific tab is selected, the "uc****" user control is loaded on that page, and in the case of "ucQuotes" and "ucInventory" they both use a control called "ucPartNumber"; a user control consisting of a combobox, textbox, and button. I have no issues reusing the shared user controls, in this case. My problem arises with my "ucQuickPrice" control, as it is always present at the bottom of the tab control form (separate from the tabcontrol, but on the same form), and it too uses ucPartnumber.
Here's my issue, as I type into the ucPartnumber combobox, the text I type does not appear in the combobox, it appears in the textbox of the ucPartnumber control that is being used on the tabcontrol page. There are no shared instances of ucPartNumber, nor do I have this issue between typing on one tab page and the text showing on the user control of another tab page.I tried just creating the ucPartNumber controls on the ucQuickPrice control, not adding a new instance of ucPartnumber on the .Load event, and the issue persists.
The combobox(s) in question are bound programmatically with about 40,000 items, ".datasource = dataset.tablename" not to a bindingsource. Autocomplete is set to none, I added code to utilize tool tips and the basic combobox filtering functionality. Is this a bug, or is there something I'm neglecting? I'm about 95% complete with this application, and this just happened today. I made the decision, to just reuse the ucPartNumber control on the ucQuickPrice control (originallly it's size and orientation would not fit, but I added some coding to detect what parent is adding ucPartNumber and to change its appearance accordingly). Before, I made this change, I did not have this problem. And, in trying to go back to how I had things set up before the change, the problem will not go away. if the whole control within a control verbage I used is a bit confusing, let me know and I'll try to better explain what is happening. At this point, I'm going to close and reopen vbexpress, as when I started this ordeal, vb started acting weird and wanted me to save all my work, it usually does this before locking up.
I had added the items
1
2
3 to the combobox.
Then I gave the "Select" to the text of the combobox.
How can I able to reset combobox to select the text("Select").
I had tried by giving -1 to the SelectedIndex. But it gives only Empty.
This is for VB.NET Windows Application
