ATM I'm trying to color individual items on my combobox. While reading stuff I googled, it seems that the only way to do this is through the DrawItem event.My question is, will the draw item be 'called' when i assign text to the combo box? combobox.text = "string"
View 18 RepliesI'm using a TabControl and have overridden the DrawItem event to produce my own background and foreground colors for the header text. It looks good but there's still grey color around each header. I thought maybe the Padding property could be set to (0,0) but that seemed to have no effect.

I have some validation set on my combobox and it works as it should, but the problem I have is that the user is unable to click on the exit button, or click on the X to close the form until they have entered a valid field - would it be possible to exclude these controls from the validation? So the user can click on exit, or click on the X?
My coding is:

Using VB.Net, I have a DataGridView with a ComboBox Column. What even do I use for when the user changes a selection in the ComboBox?
View 4 RepliesI'm using VB 2008. I'm looking for a way to take the value of the combobox after the user selects the right one. The combobox is databound and in List mode allowing selection of only the items in the box. I allow autocomplete by setting:
AutoCompleteMode = SuggestAppend
AutoCompleteSource=ListItems
So the user can key in the right value and the value narrows down each time. The user can press enter or just click somewhere else to select the value. I need a way to display the value of the combo after the selection is made but not each time a user presses an additional key to narrow down the selection.
I am using VB 2010 express edition, using windows form, i set my access database using the database connection wizard, and then use a combobox and bind it to the database using the properties windows, while other fields of database (set in textbox form), i drag it to my form. Running it, the values of textboxes are correct when i changed the value of my combobox. I want to use these values in textbox in drawing circle, whenever i change the value of combobox, the circle will also change using the combobox selectedIndexchanged event, my problem is, the value in textbox does not update in order to draw the circle, i have to use lostfocus or leave event to correct it. I make also a combobox and textbox not using this Ado.net(correct me if im wrong), it is working using the selectedindexchanged event only, what seems be my problem,

View 10 RepliesI have a ComboBox that contain ProductIDs and a DataGridView that lists Categories which a product can be a member of. My DataGridView list ALL categories, however, it has a checkbox column that get checked when the ProductID is a member of that Category, otherwise it is unchecked. A user may also check or uncheck a category checkbox then save.
The problem is, if a user forgot to save before changing the ComboBox, then his changes on the previous ProductID is gone How can I give the user a chance to either save or ignore the changes done on the previous ProductID (before selecting a new ProductID)?I searched the internet for an answer and I found the following code but it is in C# and I am not sure if it solves the problem or not!

I am working on the Combobox.I was bind the data from Access database to Combobox in the DropDown Event.Now whn i click the Dropdown for selecting value , for one click the dropdown list is not showing. Some System is coming within few milliseconds it went out for second click the list is coming.This happens only whn i click the combobox first time in the form.After second time onwards the dropdown list coming properly.
View 2 RepliesI am having a problem catching the event that happens when a user selects a value from a combobox. What I was using was ValueMemberChanged, but because I am populating the combobox in code during runtime using SQL and a dataadapter and dataset, this also executes the ValueMemberChanged event, so that makes it difficult for me to know when the user actually changed the value.
View 3 RepliesSo basically I have a ComboBox on a form, which I populated by adding custom object named "Category" and by setting the DisplayMember to the property "Name" of my object.On another form that can be opened at the same time, I can edit the name of theses "Category" objects. I raise an Event, "NameChanged" but how can I catch it on the form which contains the ComboBox? Even if the property "Name" of the object "Category" change, the display on the ComboBox doesn't autoupdate. So I need to catch the event, but I don't know how to do it.
View 1 RepliesI have a DataGridView with two columns. One is DataGridViewComboBoxColumn and other is DataGridViewButtonColumn. To capture the button click from the DataGridViewButtonColumn, i have written the CellClick event and it is working fine. However, this is not making my selection from the DataGridViewComboBoxColumn 'smooth'. What i mean is that i have to click on the combo-box twice for it to show the drop-down list. I have noticed that at every click, CellClick is fired. But only after the second click the drop-down pops out. What is the work-around for this?
View 1 RepliesI'm having an issue with getting the errorprovider to work in a database application where I have put the error provider logic in a partial class and have a combobox value change.Either I set the bindings so that it works but any navigation in the binding navigator then updates the value of that combobox on every next previous etc or it never fires until the save. So there is no way to change the errorprovider setcolumnerror string to something new with out saving on every navigation move. After changing the selection in the combobox the row does shows dirty (rowstatus) so there is databinding but it doesn't fire the ColumnChanged event like textbox and other controls. Is there a way to keep all this in the business logic in a partial class?

I am using VB 2008 Express to connect to an Access 2007 database. I have a combo box called SelectYearMonth that is populated by the database. When I used the Access report VBA, I used the AfterUpdate() event to calculate a sum. I need to know how to do the same operation in VB 2008 Express using the SelectedIndexChanged event of the combo box.
When I made a report in Access using VBA I coded my calculation as:
Me.ExactReprintTextbox = DSum("Pages", "HBELP_FINAL_Q", "YEARMONTH = " & [SelectYearMonth] & " AND JOBTYPE = 'E'")
While this works great with Access VBA, this syntax does not work in VB 2008 Express. How do I code this in VB 2008 Express?
I need to calculate the sum of all "Pages" of a particular "JOBTYPE" in the Access database for the YEARMONTH selected in the combobox. I have a query in Access called "JobTypeExact_Query" that contains all the pages of that particular JOBTYPE that I need. What I need to do is limit the calculation results to the YEARMONTH selected in the combobox.
I have a combobox that has a text portion that is clearing for unknown reasons and the TextChanged event is not firing.

Can we stop the SelectedIndexChanged Event of combobox at runtime? bcoz when i go to last record my sencond combo is refreshed & It will show 1st Item. but i want to see related item with 1st combo.In the database records are stored with related item.but on frontend..

I am having issues when trying to populate a combobox that is dependent on another combobox. Populating the first combobox works as expected but attempting to set the value member or display member properties of the first combo box cause its selected index changed event to fire. That event seems to fire before the first combobox is fully loaded. The issue is then raised when trying to populate the second combo box, since it is dependent on having a valid value member to complete the dynamic sql statement, and at that point in time, there is no value member.
I can�t imagine that this is difficult but searching hasn�t yielded me any results. Should I be using a different event? What is the right way to do this?
I have a simple workaround in place - not allowing the second combo box to attempt to populate unless the first combobox has an index greater than zero but this hack is no good since it clearly prevents the user from selecting the first element in the first combo box.

I'm converting an old VB form to .NET, and there a few Buttons which each have a corresponding ComboBox hiding behind them. The previous behavior was that you'd click the Button, and that would trigger the ComboBox behind it, which would then drop down a selection list. I believe the idea was to have a static color and text label (which cannot be a selectable option in the drop-down list), with the functionality of a ComboBox.
Now, in VB.NET, clicking on the Button (which is directly over the ComboBox in the form) won't trigger the ComboBox dropdown anymore. However, if I make the ComboBox visible enough to click on, it will trigger the ComboBox.TextChanged event, and show the drop-down (they're set to the DropDownList style). I've set the event handler to handle both that event and the Button event. I've tried Button.MouseDown, Button.MouseClick, and Button.Click -- none of which have worked.
I did find the SplitButton control option suggested here, which would probably do the job, but I don't want to have to integrate a non-native control for just 3 buttons. I don't really want to mess with the control template, either
