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.
I am creating a program that make a person select different options and in other boxes it will populate the choice the person makes. Example is the program is fora car wash and if you choose standard or deluxe it will show in the other boxes what comes with that package.I got the program to work except when going to select a different option it still keeps the old info and displays the new info as well. I tried like at the bottom of the procedure Exteriorlist.Items.clear() and it would clear and never display the info. I am still working on the project I am trying to get the print option working properly I am just needing help in figuring out how to clear the info when I select a different package.
Public Class CarWash7 Const EXTERIOR1_String As String = "Hand Wash" Const EXTERIOR2_String As String = "Hand Wax"
I have a combobox on my main form and it lists geographical locations that the user creates. How do I make the combo-boxes on the sub forms match the one on the main form?
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.

unfortunately searching the web i cannot find a decent example that allows me to loop through a winform to make sure comboboxes items are selected.basically what i would like to do is check the form if the comboboxes have been selected if not then highlight them yellow and set the focus on them.
I have the following problem, a table "table1" contains 10000 telephone numbers, this table is source for 5 combo box contained in a form, I need that when I select the first tel N in the first combo, this number is not any more available for the combo 2, when I select the second number in the second combo, the first 2 numbers of the table 1 are not any more available for the combo 3 etc. Every record (in form) contains 5 combo. The Tel N selected into the combo are source for other table called "table2". I've try with all the type of query between table 1 and table 2, and use the result as source for the combo, I've try with IIf but this is works only for the first combo.
I"ve created a form with three comboboxes and a datagrid. I've connect the comboboxes to the database and they all work but when i try and fill the datagrid based on the final selection from the last commbobox but it will not populate the datagridview..
I'm using VB 2005 and have an Edit - Entry form with Textboxes and several Comboboxes. I populate the Comboboxes with Arraylists as shown below. I populate a datatable with the Employee data from my SQL Server. I assign the BindingSource1.Datasource to my Datatable then add Databindings to the ComboControls. The (Fields.STAFF_MGR_ID.ToString) is from an Enum. When all is complete my textbox fields Bind and move with the MoveNext.. no problem, but the comboboxes display nothing.

I have spent a long time trying to find a solution for the problem I am having with comboboxes within a child form. I'm sure this must be a Microsoft error and not something I'm doing wrong..The best way to explain the problem would be to tell you what I have done so far:
If you open a new Project in VB and add two Windows Forms. Form1 will be the parent. Form2 will be the child.On Form1 add 1 x panel(Form2 will open up within the panel so make sure the panel is big enough to fit Form2) and 1 x button. The only code needed for this form is:
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
[Code]...
Now run the program and click button1 to open form2 (form2 should now open within panel1).
The comboboxes and textboxes lose some of there functions for example: 1. You cant set focus on combobox without hitting drop-down 2. You cant highlight text properly in either the combobox or textbox. 3. You cant set the cursor index position using your mouse in the combobox or text box.
Does anyone know a way around this?? Mainly for the combobox as I've got some functions working for the textbox.
I have created a form with three comboboxes. means FirstNameComboBox MiddleNameComboBox LastNameComboBox All fields are select ( name ) from a "CustomerName" table. "CustomerName" table is have more than ten thousand records. I am use three binding sources its worked great but it is very slow bcz three comboboxes are filled data on form loading time. I am using visual studio 2010 (visual basic).

I have a project where the dropdowns for the Form and controls (left side) and the events (right side) aren't available. I can re-boot, open and close the project or solution and still they do not show. They do show for other projects.how to make them come back?
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 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.
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?
I have a form that needs to add user selected items to a listbox. But these selections are done outside the form itself. So in windows explorer, the form pops up and then the user keeps clicking on files and I want these file names to be added to the listbox. How can I do this? in my case, as soon as I click outside, obviously the form loses focus. How can I "listen" to mous clicks outside?
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.)
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: (with the item 0 as 'neutral' option) Public Class Form1 Dim dTable As New DataTable
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 am getting a disturbing message error when I dont select image from file then when I select its just ok...it just says: The path is not of a legal form. So my question is how can I have a choice whether I can insert image or not...if the fileopendailog opens there is query which says you must select...so may be I don't want to select. So when I click cancel in openfiledailog, that error message prompts. I want make the query in the code to have a choice.

I want to disallow changes to two comboboxes unless the user first clicks a LOCK symbol on the screen. I pop a Y or N into the tag of the picture box when they click it...I've got this - combobox is called LanguageTo

How do I "cancel" the attempt to change that combobox?I don't want to ENABLE=FALSE the combobox - as I don't want it's image to visually change. I want to allow them to attempt the change and then abort it if they didn't unlock first.
I am new to programming and i am working on a windows fom app. In this moment i have my windows form set with several controls that insert data into sql db. Now, what i need is this:
When the user select a employee name from my dropdownlist, i want the form automatically fill with the data inserted in the past to the tables db. Is like choosing the different profiles by selecting the name in the dropdownlist. I have many controls to fill, name, secondname, lastname, telmobil, address, etc.
