Combo Box In VB 2008?
Mar 28, 2012How 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.

View 3 Replies2008 DataGridView Combo Box
Mar 5, 2012Below is the code to create a single Editable ComboBox column in a DataGridView on a form. I believe I have follwed the instructions to allow the user to input new values other than those in the list, however if you create a new project and add a button and a DataGridView control onto the form, then copy and paste this code and run the program, you will find that you cannot type any character in the edit box other then characters that exist in the list and only 1 character will be displayed at a time. I have set the Autocomplete value to 'False' and setting it to 'True' at least allows me to type more than 1 character but still not any strings that don't exist in the list.You can even remark out or not use the entire Call Validating sub routine to see the issue of not being able to type in the cell.

[2008] Default Value For A Combo Box?
Feb 13, 2009I'm in a VB Class, so we're not doing anything doing anything too complex, but I'm writing a program using Combo Boxes as a drop down boxes.When I run the program, they come up blank, and I'm trying to set the property of the Combo Box to show up with "(None)" instead of just being blank, but I can't find the control to set the property for that. I have all my items in the collection, and I'm wondering if there is a control character that will denote it as default in the collection set similar to when typing & before a letter will denote it as an "Alt-Activated" control.

VS 2008 Changing Object Name In Combo Box
Jul 19, 2009I was just starting to learn how to use classes today and I think I might have a vague handle on them.Anyways, I was using a class to generate troops (as objects, since I needed various statistics tied to each individual one) in an army for sort of a basic medieval-type game I was creating and adding them to a combo box.It all works perfect and the index holds my object and I can call data from it, etc., my only issue is with the aesthetics of my result.All of the troops I add to the combo box as objects appear in the dropdown list as "WarProject.Soldier", the name of the object. This is obviously not something an end-user would understand or want to see. I have no idea how to change what an object appears as in the combo box.

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
