VS 2010 ComboBox DataSource And AutoComplete?
Aug 24, 2011
I have a ComboBox which is bound with a DataSource from (obviously) a Database. However, there are 659 different entries inside this Database and I was hoping to tack on AutoComplete.
I tried setting the Source to the ListItems since, after initialization and the data is bound, all the items necessary are in fact inside the ComboBox so I had assumed that it would pick that up. I was wrong. I tried using a Custom source but VS errored out saying that I couldn't do that since the ComboBox was bound.
My question is, how can I utilize AutoComplete's "Suggest" mode with a bound ComboBox?

I'm struggling to meet a demand from my supervisors.Basically there are places in our project where there is a big selection of options. The most concrete example is choosing a city in the world. The items are hundreds of thousands.Using standard winforms controls and properties, one can search through a list fast.The problem is that we're using a concatenation of city&district name for all the items. Essentially PREFIX autotomplete works but does not work as needed. The task is to filter and show items by any given string in any part of the item. Essentially a FULL TEXT search in the combobox.Does anyone have an idea about switching autocomplete sources in runtime relatively qiuckly and handling the suggest/suggestappend event?

I have a combox that is run-time bound to a table that is run-time built and populated from a text file. I have set the combobox autocomplete mode to suggest and the source to list items, but only the 1st item will work. Ok so here's the code:
Private Sub SetStateComboBox()
'set autocomplete for combobox
state_cmbx.AutoCompleteMode = AutoCompleteMode.SuggestAppend[code]....
The file is a text file with a list of the 50 states and their abbreviations in the format : stateName - abbr.Now what happens is the data is displayed correctly, but when I begin to type a letter for the autocomplete the only letter that shows anything is the "a" and it will only show the very first item in the text file.Everything else does not display with the autocomplete, but does show in the list. I have tried variations such as adding the data as items like this:
Private Sub SetStateComboBox()
'set autocomplete for combobox
state_cmbx.AutoCompleteMode = AutoCompleteMode.SuggestAppend[code]....
This way does not allow any autocomplete when I begin typing but everything is in the list. I've also tried converting the table to a customautocompletestring and still the same results.The only way that I have been able to get it to work is be entering each state as an item: state_cmbx.items.add("Michigan - MI"), then it works correctly.Also the combobox dropdownstyle is set to dropdown, and I'm using visual studio 2010 ultimate and coding using VB.

I am having a problem to get the results of a combobox when the user uses the tab key to exit the combobox. The combobox uses a database as the datasource. When the user uses the mouse to click on the selection the selectedindex is set proprerly, however when the user will enter some text and presses the tab key, selectedindex is set to -1.
I have attached some test code to duplicate the issue.
Imports System.Data.OleDb
Public Class Form1
Protected dvNames As DataView
Dim conDBTest As OleDbConnection

I have tried searching on if it is capable to do autocomplete in a combobox in the datagridview control. I was planning to use the combobox in the grid itself. There is a property to set autocomplete true/false but I cannot get the cb to let me enter text to find. It only selects on the first character of items in the list.

I am having issues with a combobox set to:
AutoCompleteMode = Append, AutoCompleteSource = ListItems.
Example: Items in the combo are: "Average", "Good", "Poor". If "Average" is selected in the combo, then I type "G", "Good" will autocomplete. But if "Average" is selected, tab out of the control, then tab back into the control, then I type "A" nothing is autocompleted. It just shows "A" in the combo.

I list folders in my combobox but I'm trying to sort the folders alphabetically and then numerically or vice versa.
My coding to populate my combobox is
With Combobox1.DataSource =
(From folder In New IO.DirectoryInfo("Path").GetDirectories
Select (folder.Name)
).ToArray
End With
Is it possible to sort the combobox?
I have folders that are numbered like 1, 50, 115, 189 etc.
These should display as
1
50
115
189
however they display as
1
115
189
50

The combobox just populates with "System.Data.DataRowView" I know it is some command to read the correct data out of the table, is it setting up something like:
dim i as integer
for i = 0 to CompanyNames.length-1
companyadapter.fill(companynames.rows(i)]

I have a combobox which i am binding to a sortedDictionary list, so it displays in ascending order. My question is, I need to display "--Select--" as the first option. Is there any way to either:
1) add another item besides for the datasource
or
2) add an unsorted item to the top of the sortedDictionary

I'm trying to use reflection with LINQ on a sub that set datasource of all my ComboBox:
Usual Method:
' ACAmp Panel
cboACPanelAmp.ValueMember = "IDACAmp"
cboACPanelAmp.DisplayMember = "Description"
cboACPanelAmp.DataSource = m_Entities.ACAmps.OrderBy(Function(c As ACAmp) c.SortOrder).ToList
Want to use that sub
FillCbo(cboACPanelAmp, "ACAmp")
Private Sub FillCbo(ByVal cbo As Infragistics.Win.UltraWinEditors.UltraComboEditor, ByVal entityName As String)
cbo.ValueMember = "ID" & entityName
[code]....
I can't figure out the last part of the last line, the LINQ

I have to add item "Final Grade" to my cboQuarter. The thing is, my cboQuarter already has a datasource and I can't add the item "Final Grade" during drop-down. The error says, "cannot modify or insert (can't remember word by word) when it already has a datasource."

Appropriate Title would be: Bind comboBox Tag to database.I have a comboBox on form which is bounded but and I need to populate it manually. With some reading on net i have found a way but it is not working
I can populate my combo, select item in combo, update database but the problem is when I load my form it displays empty combo (combo is fulled with my custom data but nothing is selected it must select correct ItemText) and after selecting a value in combo, the value disappears as soon as combo losses focus .

With code above, how do I assign the value to the combobox while retrieving data from the table so that it point to the corresponding combobox item. For example, if the value of status_ID is 1 then the combobox should show "completed" in the datagridview.

I am using code similar to this to populate a combobox with items from a database. The display works fine, but when I try to get the combobox.SelectedValue it is returning a DataRowView, where I need an integer. Obviously this is becuase I haven't casted the value to an integer, but the function, CInt(cboPosition.SelectedValue) is throwing an InvalidCastException. Is there any way that I can get the ValueMember's type to be an Integer?

I've gotten to a point where I'm trying to add a ComboBox to a UserControl, and to populate it from a collection which exists in code.
I've been getting along pretty much on monkey-see-monkey-do coding for the most part; copying and adapting existing code in order to get the next stage working, but this DataSource stuff has me stumped. I've been through a whole bunch of articles on MSDN this morning and am no closer to understanding than I was when I started.
Let me go through a few of the things that are messing with me, and hopefully you guys will be able to point me in the right direction:
1) None of the [UserControlName].vb files contains any code. All of the code for the UserControls is stored in [UserControlName]Model.vb files, and then code of the following sort is used:
<UserControl
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
xmlns:l="clr-namespace:MySolution"
[Code]....
1.5) (using bullet points means I can't use <> brackets or code blocks later on. What the hell, markdown?) Anyway...
2) I'm pretty sure I only want a Static Source for the moment, as the items in the ComboBox aren't going to change during execution, at this time. Problem is, all the articles I can find about this are gigantic, complex things about creating XML readers, and populating DataGridViews and sorting data, and on and on and on. I just want to declare that I'm using a frealing List! A List I've already created in code.
So, yeah, I basically need to use a Public Property ComboBoxLines As List(Of String) from a class which isn't the same class as the UserControl itself as the DataSource for a ComboBox.

I'm creating a dynamic combo box and adding to a form. I'm trying to fill the combo box with a DataSource from an ArrayList and then selecting an item in the combo box based off a value from a property.Problem is, the combo box items don't get bound until after the Form_Load event has finished and the form is visible. So the combo box is empty when I try to set the selected index of the combo box. See code for what I'm doing in detail, and refer to comments in
[code]...
How to select the right selected index for combo box without a hack (Load timer or something stupid like that)?
