VS 2008 Insering Text Into A Combo Box?
Apr 13, 2010
I would like to ask you a question about combo boxes . I want to insert a string into a combo box , but it seems I have a problem . First of all , let me specify that this combo box is set to only accept specific strings , which populate it when the form is loaded . Assuming that the combo box is located on Form1 , when it is loaded , this code is executed :
[Code]...
What is going wrong ? Is it that the combo box can not have that value because Form1 has not been loaded yet ? If that's the case what should I do ? I guess I could call the Load sub directly from Form2 in order to load Form1 , but I wouldn't like that because with the Load event some other code will run , which I don't want it to . So , is there any way to set my desired string into the combo box ?

i am developing application with Datagridview using vb.net. the application has to add a DGVw control into a tabpage. i am working on a provision to the user to add and delete a row by clicking the datagridview button column. i am encountering a problem while inserting rows in between two rows. the same piece of code is working fine when we manually drag and drop a dgvw wherea it is not working when we do it dynamically. it is throwing error saying that"dynamic insertion is not possible'.
approach 1:drag a tab control, incl a tap page, drag a datagridview, add a datagridview button column, and finally a command button.declared in the top of the class declaration.

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 might be coming up with a few dumb questions over the next few weeks because I am trying to push myself to learn VB 2008. So I think this is the first.I have figured out how to get a datareader to pull data from a MySQL database, pass it from a module back to my form, but when I try to put it in a combobox, the text is always left-aligned. I had never thought about this before because I think I have only ever put text in one before in VB6. However, this time it is numeric and left aligned numerics don't line up well when the numbers look like
1000
2500
20000

I currently have my cute little first program made... I'm just stepping into the water with this programming thing. I made a program where you can select a shape from a drop-down list and then input some values and click a button and get the area of the shape. I have it working so that when a certain shape is chosen, certain fields are disabled, such as when you pick "circle" from the combo box, the "length", "width", and "number of sides" text boxes are disabled but the "radius" text box is enabled, thus allowing you to enter the radius and find the area. I want to make it so that when you first load the program, all of the text boxes for the length, width, number of sides and radius are disabled until you select a shape from the list. Currently I'm using
[Code]...
This works for disabling the correct boxes when something is selected, but I don't know if I'm even on the right path with that first part.

I need to to able to save multiple text-boxes and a combo-box to a text file. the thing is, when I go to save, I check out the .txt file manually and its saved all in one line, no spaces. when I go to "read" it with the 2nd part (<-----this is a 2 part Challenge) it even reads all from that one line in the text file. What i'm asking is how can I make my text-boxes saved in the text file on different lines. [Code]

In VB6 datacombobox there was a property that you could set that filtered the item list as you typed in the combo box (extended matching I think it was called) so that as the user typed more characters in the box the filtering progressively narrowed down the number of items in the list.The .net control does not seem to have this facility, or does it?Do we have to programatically do it now?

I'm trying to get the text portion of the combo box when a value is selected. I can get the selected value, but if I look at the selectedText or Text property the value is "".

I have a problem with Combo Boxes. When one uses the mouse to open the drop down menu, the text appears to be missing, but when you click on a entry, the text appears in the box at the top of the combo box (the thumb?). Likewise, when the cursor keys are used to scroll through the options, the text appears in the thumb.

I'm using the combo box control in VB.It is not bound to a data source.Visual Studio gave me a text box to enter the values for the combo box.When I run the program, there is a blank value?How do I eliminate this blank (or null) combo value? My combo box is a required field.
For example I entered
Option 1
Option 2
Option 3
When the program is ran, the combo box has <blank> (which is selected) Option 1

I have a combo box on a form that is set to certain width. The data the combo varies and can be quite large. Is there a way that the combo box could be expanded to fit the widest data/text when the Combo is selected?It would be quite neat if it pop out of the form when selected! I guess I could create this effect by creating another form that opens when when that object is selected.

I have a Form with a Tab control on it, one of the fields is the Apartment number which is a Combobox. It is displaying properly, however since it sits on one of the tabs when you scroll through the records its hard to remember what tenant you are dealing with.
I have a label on the top of the screen that shows the Tenant First/Last Name.
I also want to at what Apartment Number they are looking at.
I currently am trying this: I have also tried:
SelectedItem
SelectedText
SelectedValue
Column 0 of my combobox is the ID and Column 1 is the Text description.
