VS 2010 ReadOnly Combobox Without Making It A DropDownList?
May 10, 2010
i have an app that has many suggest append comboboxes in the style of just straight dropdown.
I also clear the text in all of these draopdowns via resettext() in a loop when my user clicks a 'New' button
is there any way to either A:
make the combobox read only (without selecting dropdownlist)
or B:
allow suggest append to fire on all keystrokes instead of only when it sees a match in the combobox....
example: combobox1 contains the following items:
- apples
- oranges
- bananas
as of right now, if my user types in "pears" it won't see any 'P' and won't suggest anything else or even drop down the combobox and allow "Pears" to be entered and because my app does processing only on the items in the list, "pears" then throws an exception....I'm trying to force them to choose only the items in the list and not be allowed to enter anything else while still enjoying the clean look of a resettext() on a combobox

Is there a simple way to make all comboboxes on a form to be readonly upon form load?
Rather than doing:
ComboBox1.ReadOnly = True
Combobox2.ReadOnly = True
And so on...

What ever happened to the readonly method in the ComboBox? So i thought if MS did not have that option let me code around it. So i made a code here that checks if the user inputs something else then what i want him to input.If it something else is found it returns the text back to "Hours(s)"

How do I make it to where you cannot type into a combobox, but you can choose items through the drop down? I tried Readonly, but it makes it so you can't type AND can't drop down select.

I have written a function before to delete and update records, but never anything to return values back to my call of the function. Here is my code, and I will try to explain what I'm trying to acheive.
If Not Att1 = "" Then
Attribute1.Text = Att1
Attribute1.Visible = True
ComboBox1.Visible = True
[code]....
That codes goes on up to att20. It works just fine, but it is forever long, and I would like to clean it up.I want to do something like:
Or, should I pass the combobox number also, so that the code can fill the appropriate combobox? Like.comboboxfill(Att1,Combobox1) how to write the function and how to pass back the information or just how to make it work in general?

I have a combo box on my application (working with VB.net) called CmbAttendantstatus. I have sent the dropdownstyle = dropdownlist at the Properties level of the combobox.
There are 200 field types e.g;
Current Attendant
Ever Attendant
Never Attendant etc
The issue is I can only select one from the list, fine, but I want to be able to type the first letter on the combobox and it takes me to the nearest field type rather than looking through the entire drop list. For example I want Never Attendant, I just need to type N and the drop list takes me to anything starting from N and if I add E for example any field starting with NE shows up for selection. Presently, when the dropdownlist is selected you are not allowed to type anything...

I am using a PropertyGrid control to edit my class properties and I am trying to set certain properties read-only depending on other property settings.This is the code of my class:
Imports System.ComponentModel
Imports System.Reflection
Public Class PropertyClass[code].....
This is the code I am using to edit the values:
Dim c As New PropertyClass
PropertyGrid1.SelectedObject = c
The problem is that when I set SomeProperty to True, nothing happens and when I then set it to False again it sets all properties Read-Only.

I have a checkbox in my application,when the checkbox is checked then i want to fetch the data from the database and add it to the dropdownlist of the combobox.Again when the checkbox is unchecked then i want to ramove all the data from the dropdownlist of the combobox.
I did this
Private Sub CheckBox1_CheckedChanged(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles CheckBox1.CheckedChanged
If CheckBox1.Checked = True Then
con = New OleDbConnection("Provider=Microsoft.Jet.Oledb.4.0;Data Source=Etech.mdb")
[CODE]...
When the checkbox is checked then the data is added from the database to the dropdownlist of the combobox but when i uncheck it then the data is not removed from the dropdownlist of the combobox. In the above code i think i need to add an else condition to remove the data from the dropdownlist of the combobox and make it empty when the checkbox is unchecked.......but i cant give the proper else condition in the above code.

In my class there's an object belonging to Process class. So, in my wrapper class, I need to get the "StartTime" & "EndTime" of the process object. I'm having confusion whether to use a ReadOnly property for this or a function returning the date, in my wrapper class
Is it a good practice to use a function for this purpose or a property ?

I have a ComboBox. I want it to allow select only listed Items. How can I have it display an initial legend?
[Code]...
With this code the ComboBox displays with no text. If I remove the ComboBox1.DropDownStyle = ComboBoxStyle.DropDownList sentence then the text in ComboBox1.SelectedText = "Select Item"is displayed, but the user can input other values in the combobox that not match the listItems.

I have a ComboBox that is databound to an ObservableCollection of strings. The ComboBox is also editable, so you can either enter in your own value or select one from the list. The issue I'm running into is the index of SelectedItem seems to be the index of the last item you selected when you've entered in your own value in the ComboBox, though it's -1 when you have IsTextSearchEnabled set to true. The problem is, if someone entered their own value and then decide to instead select the item on the ComboBox that had been selected before, the index doesn't change so the SelectionChange event doesn't fire. How could I get an event to fire in this situation?

I have a program that needs to display a playlist of songs, for a band performing someplace, from a .txt file. The songs in the file are listed as follows:
All You Need is Love-Beatles
Rock
4.25
[code]....
The first line is the song's title and group name. The second is the songs genre. The third line is the songs length, 4.25 is 4 minutes and 25 seconds.upon clicking a button, I need to display a playlist from this .txt file based on the number of minutes the band has to play, minutes entered into a TextBox, and the songs genre, selected from a ComboBox. The songs cannot repeat and must be random.I have already coded the program to read the .txt file but have not clue where to start with the rest.
