I am writing an app that uses a combo box to list file types for a user to select from. Because a complete list of all options is both impossible and wildly unwieldy, I am only providing about 10 common extensions. I want the user to be able to type in their own file extension if the one they need is not listed. the first item in the combo box is empty by default, but during testing when i type something in their to use as my selection, i get the exception "Object reference not set to an instance of an object." pointed at extensionComboBox.SelectedItem.ToString
i have a combo box without a list of item now i want to do is when a user input a number or text in combo box the text value of the combo box will be saved and when the user input the same number the combo box will not save the same text value. and when the user logout and login back again i want to load the list of item that he or she inputted earlier in the combo box.
I have VS 2008 and am working in VB.Net forms.I have a webbrowser control where I am trying to control input fields that are dynamically created. If a text field has proper handles such as id and name tags there aren't any problems.
For example, I am trying to work with twitter for posts. I know twitter has an API but I want to work with many similar systems and want to avoid the API as its case specific and I want to scale things within the VB.Net form. The login fields for twitter are easily handled, however the posting field once your logged in is just a text area with a class. There is a tagname but I have been unable to post using the tagname element.Any examples of posting to twitter without the API ?
How can I input data from a text file to a Drop Down List Combo Box.So far, I have:
Private Sub frmFlightDistances_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load Dim srairports As IO.StreamReader = IO.File.OpenText("Airports.txt") cboDepartureLocation.Items.Add(srairports) End Sub
When I click on the drop down arrow, all that is available to pick from is Airports.txt.
This is a spin-off post from another issue I am working on. The problem is related to triggering event handlers when the user makes an input into a combo box, you might even call this a complaint.I have a combobox with a DataSource and ValueMember and DisplayMember. There is no DataBindings to worry about at this point. The combobox is DropDownStyle = DropDown and I havealso enabled AutoCompleteSource = ListSource and AutoCompleteMode = SuggestAppend.The datasource contains a list of Countires, and when the user types in an entry or chooses an entry from the combobox, I should be able to detect what the user has selected ortyped immediatley after the selection, some would say it's the very purpose of the combo box.Which event would you choose to deterine what the user has entered or Selected? few events come to mind:
I am working on a tabbed web browser with status bar and combo box history. I am running VS Visual Basic 2008 EE on Windows Vista Home Premium. Anyways, the problem I am having is I can't get the status bar to show the status of current browser window, nor can I get the combo box to save the history of sites that are typed in. I am using tabcontrol's for the browser window. I have used code that I have run across on the web and youtube tutorials. This is the basics of what I have pieced together.[code]
I am using visual studio 2005. i am using webBrowser control to automate third party website.My problem is SelectedIndexChanged event is not getting fired. I used the code.[code]This code is changing the value in combo box but it is not firing the selectedindexchanged event. If i manualy select the item then after selecting a item it shows different message. How should i do it programatically.
So I'm not trying to edit the value of the textbox. I really don't know what to do here. This is the part of the HTML that I want to input text into: [Code]
I'm creating a program that ought to automatically populate a form on a web site with information, and then submit that form. I've done this kind of thing a lot before, but this time I'm running into an interesting problem -- the "input type=file" element.
With the "input type=file" element, a filename box is automatically created along with a Browse button. Clicking the filename box opens the file browser -- you can't type in the filename box manually.
For my program, however, I want to manually set the value of this filename box. Usually, I would just get the element from the page, then call: element.SetAttribute("value",myNewValue). However, with the "input type=file" element, that hasn't worked, presumably because the user cannot normally manually edit the value of the box (though I could be wrong about that being why).[code]...
I've asked this elsewhere once, and one reply was about how I shouldn't be attempting to write a server that will accomplish this anyway -- so let me make sure it's perfectly clear, I'm just writing a client program that ought to mimic what I would be doing anyway. Its purpose is that there's a particular site that I submit things to whose interface only supports one submission at a time, and I have several hundred things I need to submit.

I know the code to find the input boxes in question.. basically the html is like so HTML <input type="text" name="username" class="inputbox"> i know enough to use WebBrowser1.Document.Forms.GetElementsByName("username") to find the text box...but I need to know how to send the contents of say TextBox1.text to the form on the web page...i can't figure it out for crap...I just assume give up and use sendkeys to tab to the textbox even thought its 80% unreliable....
I have a Webbrowser control on my Windows Form that loads a local page using the DocumentStream property. The page contains an input element of type text. When rendered, users are able to type anything they wish however they are unable to use keys like "Delete" or typical Cut & Paste functions. If it were not for the fact that you can type data and Basckspace to delete the character one at a time. If I load the same page in Internet Explorer, the input box functions correctly.

I can click with mouse on that buttons or input text from keyboard or select value from combo box to send this page back. question:How I can execute this from my program code, using property and methods WebBrowser control?
how can i make my webbrowser open up a new link in my same webbrowser or in another form? basically what im saying is i dont want it opening links in internet explorer.
i wanted to link options selected from Comb box A (general) to specific options in combo box B (specific). I want to pick a word in Combo box A that has specific words/phrases in Combo Box B show. But not all the words to show in the combo box B if they aren't associated with the Word picked in Combo Box A. Ex.When "Soda" is picked in A, only "Coke, Sprite, Fanta" should be visible in combo box b, not everything else.This is the code i used to make the boxes, but i don't know how to link them.
Private Sub MainForm_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load ' fills the combo boxes with values Me.xGeneralComboBox.Items.Add("Soda") Me.xGeneralComboBox.Items.Add("Juice")
How to use a databound combo box to display one field in the drop down, and another as the combo box text on roll up? Using VS 2005... For example, I have a datatable that has 2 fields. One called "ShortDesc" and one called "LongDesc". I want to be able to see the "LongDesc" column values in the drop down on the combo box. When I make a selection, I want the text in the combo box to read the corresponding "ShortDesc" value.
I am getting an error when i try to populate some combo boxes with a value, the combo box has values in and the right amount the code is getting the right number.
the error msg is "Object reference not set to an instance of an object."
Combo box 2 is filled based on a selection made in combo box 1 and a listview is populated based on the selection made in combo box 2.When the LostFocus event completes in combo box 1, it hits the LostFocus event in Combo Box 2 but it shouldn't. How do I prevent this from happening or if I can't prevent it, how do I work around it? The following is the code used.
Private Sub cboCategory_LostFocus(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles cboCategory.LostFocus
I've got some code like the following. I want it so that when I chose an item in 'select 1' it changes the in the second combo box but I'm not sure of the best way to go about it. Does it have to be AJax or can it be done with just Javascript?

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.
how can i set combo box value to the desired time as choosed by the user i.e i want if user selects the 5 secs in combobox then my computer gets shutdown in 5 secs
how do i program by saying if a certain item is selected in a combo box then that item will not appear in a second combo box. i have this code for now but it does not work
I know how to add the items during design time but how do you add the items through code. I want to fill the combo box in the datagrid with the results of an SQL query?
