I have problem with a datagridview with combo boxes firing unwanted events handlers.I have a datagridview with 4 columns all data bound. All of these columns have comboboxes. Column 2,3,4 has a custom generated combobox with code with on the 'DataGridView_EditingControlShowing event' and have event handlers (Dropdown,selected Etc). (Data in the custom generated comboboxes needs to be filtered and worked on)

i have a datagridview with a column with comboboxes. My problem is that the changes that i am doing from comboboxes didn't occur to datagridview immediately but after the user click to another cell.
View 1 RepliesI have a vb.net window app that has a number of combo boxes on it. These are being populated from a number of XML files and all this works like a charm. The problem i have is when it comes to putting the comboboxes in a datagridview. I have set up my columns and have set the first column to be a combobox but i'm having problems referencing this so that i can set the datasource to populate it.
I've looked everywhere but cant seem to find how to reference this control. Once this has been selected it will populate a second combo box based on the data from the first. I think i can sort this out, if i could only work out how to set the datasource of the first combo programatically.
What I want to do is use two drop down comboxes (Comboboxes 1 & 2)in tandem in a databound datagridview.Both comboboxes are bound to tables in an SQL 2005 database.By this I mean select an item in combobox 1 and have its display member appear in that combobox.This is usually text.The value member for combobox 1 to be displayed in the combobox 2 which is also text.The value member from combobox 1 has identical values to the display member of combobox 2 in the database tables.If I need to change the display member in combobox 2, as all situations have their exceptions, I want to do this without changing combobox 1.The value member for combobox 2 is numeric and is put into another cell in the DGV for carrying out calculations.I have managed to get the display of combobox 1 working on its own and ignoring the value member.I have done the same with combobox 2 and have the value member working correctly.
Can databound comboboxes be used in this manner or will VB.net not allow this type of operation.I have not done this with any code. I tried to get my required operation through the edit facility in the DGV.When attempting to run the program, it does not compile and throws an error which basically says "You have done something wrong.Sort it out."Typical Microsoft help! Can it be done using code in the datasets or binding sources?
I have three comboboxes in a form. The first is the parent of the second, which is the parent of the third. When they are all updated, a datagridview should be updated.
The problem is that the user can choose to change the value of either combobox, so I don't know which combobox's value is being changed. Therefore I now update the datagridview from the third combobox's selectedvaluechanged event. This unfortunately means that if the first combobox is changed, the second and third comboboxes selectedvalue events must trigger. As a consequence, when the first combobox is changed, the datagridview is being updated about six times (which doesn't work for me performancewise).
What I'd like to do is to call the updatedatagridview sub from either one of the three comboboxes, but only if the user has chosen to change that specific combobox's value (that is, get the form to only update the datagridview when the selectedvalues of all three comboboxes have been set).
I have a form that lists all of the clients in a DataGridView and when I click on a column that is a Link I want the data to populate into the form I use to capture. My problem is that when I click on the link all the TextBoxes on the form are filled correctly but my ComboBoxes are not.[code]

this is a subset of a previously posted problem, I have narrowed down my issue and am reposting a question from this thread: [URL] I have apparently confused the compiler by renaming some comboboxes in Visual Basic .net express? (See relevant code below) I think the confusion is in who should handle what, with two routines named with variations of ComboBox1 and one handling the other ( it confuses me just trying to interpret it mentally):

I have a form with 4 comboboxes and a button. The first combobox is enabled, but the rest of the controls are disabled. When the form is opened I fill the first combobox (cbxMethod) with a datatable. When the user selects something in cbxMethod the next combobox (cbxStudy) will be filled and so on. When the last combobox (cbxAnalyte) has a selected value I want to enable the button and give it focus so the user can move forward with the program. I basically want to force the user to move from one combobox to the other, until all are filled.I am currently using the SelectionValueChange event, but this event only fires when the user changes the value with their mouse or hits the Enter key, not when the user hits the Tab key.

View 3 RepliesI need to build a SQL statement.
I have 3 ComboBoxes that i need to use for my SELECT statement. This means that if the user selects ONE of them the SQL statement will be different than when he chooses TWO or THREE.
If none is select, then ALL data is displayed.
I have 3 Combo boxes that have number 1-9 in each, i would like to make it so that if the first one is set to 9 then the and the second it set to 8 then the first 1 is set to 1, i need them to only equal 9 through all the boxes?

View 2 RepliesI'd like to create a data bound comboboxcolumn off of the distinct results of a view in my database. The view returns tablenames within the database which do not already have an entry configured. I use this as a entry to tell a purge application how and what tables to purge.Setting up this combobox proves to be a little more difficult than I imagined because my view pulls from informationschema.columns in the master db and therefore is unrelated in the 1:M traditional scenario. So as a result my displaymember and valuemember get the same field unlike most examples I see where some integer or enum is the backing value in the valuemember. Not the case here.
When I put all this together and run the code I do have choices in my drop down list but the current cell is blank. What is going on here?..create column
Dim Tablenamecolumn As DataGridViewComboBoxColumn = New DataGridViewComboBoxColumn()
With Tablenamecolumn
.Name = "DBTableName"[code]....
If I change things around a little bit and I get an argumentexception telling me that "DBTableName does not exist".I have one query that on startup calls for all my entries in purgeconfig table and it contains "DBTableName". Then I have another query which returns me a single column with many rows and a different field name and that's what I am using for the column's datasource. I can manipulate that query to change the column name to match "DBTableName" that the other datatable has, yet it still doesn't work. Do I need to create a data relation or something between them? Why aren't they wiring up?
The only way I can make my code work without the argument exception is to refer to my combobox with the field name of the column coming out of my View. Anytime I start using the other column name it throws the argument exception.This isn't the only column i'm going to need to do like this and i've spent a lot of time trying to figure out what i've done wrong and why it doesn't display the current value in the cell, only a blank cell insteadl.
I have a program issue I am trying to work on. I have multiple comboboxes(12 total) on a form.I am attempting to update some settings from what ever the user selects from the combo boxes. I am trying to keep the code as small as possible, so I thought about having all the comboboxes have similar names only different by a number being changed at the end. (ex: cbo_1, cbo_2, cbo_3, etc...)And using a For next loop to advance through each combobox and update the settings as the for next loop advances.(This might be a stupid way of doing it, but its the first idea that came to mind.)
[code]...
I need to select all the comboboxes on a form with a for each loop. I have about 19 comboboxes and I need to select each one. I tried to do
for each box as combobox in me.controls
But that gave me an error and i now tried this:
for each box as control in me.controls
if box.name.contains("ComboBox") then
...
end if
next
That selected only the comboboxes but the problem is i need to access some data that is specific to comboboxes (aka the selected item(s), if its blank) but those properties are not present since "box" is a control, not a combo box.
1) Does this code make text the selected items text? If it doesnt then how would I do that?Dim text As String text = ListBox1.SelectedItem.ToString()
2)How would I make it so that if in combobox.items there is an item with the same text as the listbox selecteditem it is removed? This is what I have and it doesnt work.
If ComboBox3.Items.Item(text) Then
ComboBox3.Items.Remove(text)
End If
I have a ComboBox with several names within it. The names are sourced from a database. Once the user has selected a name from the ComboBox, he must input the no. of hours from another ComboBox and then he is able save it to a .txt file through a streamwriter.
Here is a little image I just put together:I want the file name of the .txt file to be whatever is selected from the first combobox. So, by using the example shown above, the file would be called bob.txt. Is this possible?There shouldn't be any save file dialog or anything, I want it to be automated and the name of the .txt file to be selected from the ComboBox.

This post is a continuation of my other post concerning 'List(of) with multiple comboboxes refill problem.'. I threw the list overboard and began anew with a Dataview.
So far I (finally) managed to get 2 comboboxes (will be more, but if it works for 2...) loaded with the same data using different dataviews (DataView1 & DataView2) so I can select a value from each combobox without the other following the selection.
But now I want to filter out the selected value from the other combobox.
This also works.
The only thing is this: If I select in combobox1 the value 3, and select in combobox2 the value 4, combobox1 will change to the value 2.
If I select in combobox1 the value 2, and select in combobox2 the value 1, combobox1 will change to the value 3.
It works also the other way arround. I can't seem to get my hands around the problem..
Does somehow the index of the items in the combobox play's part? I don't use the selectedIndex, so from my point of view it can't be..
The code I use:

I'm trying to make a program in which I can import an excel file, read the whole thing and save it in another format. So far so good: can import the file, read it, skip first line or not etc.But.. Now I've been thinking about a sort option.What if the column order of the excel file is in another order than the export file must be in. In stead of opening the excel file and rearrange the columns manually, I would like to sort it in the program. Just for the sake of trying to make it work and gain experience
So, i read the first line which contains the column names and put them in several comboboxes where I can make a selection. No problem here.Now, the selection of combobox1 has to be removed from the other comboboxes and so on, to avoid double selections on one column. That's where my listOld comes in. Everytime a selection is made in a combobox, a sub is called to create the listOld and create the listNew (which contains items you can still choose from).As I make more selections the listOld gains more items and the ListNew grows shorter.But here comes the part where I'm puzzled.In the part "refill the comboboxes" (bottom part) when I disable "cmb2.Items.Clear()" the listOld (previous selected items) contains all selected items correctly.

I'm trying to make a program that'll play the card game "War". I've started to code the dealing process, but it doesn't seem to be working. I currently have 3 comboboxes on the form each with numbers representing different cards, 1 that contains all the cards to be dealt, 1 that contains the user's cards, and 1 that contains the computer's cards. I plan to just draw random numbers from these comboboxes for the dealing. However, nothing happens when I click the tool-strip button that's supposed to deal the cards. [Code]

I have a DataGridView where Cell_Validating is being done. I have a Cancel button on my form that allows the user to exit out of the DataGridView changes. The problem is that if a cell was currently flagged as in error, I cannot exit and remove columns from the DataGridView.

Is there a way to cancel the validation once the focus has been removed from the DataGridView? Here is my Cell_Validating
