I have a combobox which dropdown style = dropdown. I applied autocomplete function to this combobox. User can type and then use tab key to move next control or select from list.
Question: Which method to use in order get a name value from combobox? SelectionChangeCommitted or SelectedValueChanged?
I've got 15 combo boxes on a panel and they all get SelectedValueChanged and SelectionChangeCommitted methods triggered when firing a datagrid box cellDoubleClick routine I wrote. I've stepped through every line of code and cannot figure out what is triggering the 15 events, some of which fire 2 times in a row. The first firing clears out the text in the combo. Has anyone experienced this before. Changing from SelectedValueChanged to SelectionChangeCommitted makes no difference - they all still trigger.

I'm designing a login screen which MUST allow the user to ONLY select a login via a combobox. A user has THREE login attempts only, the problem Im experiencing is resetting the count if they hilight the combobox, move the selection around but ultimately click on the original name.I can use either SelectedIndexChanged or SelectionChangeCommitted but they are both activated even if the same login is selected.So you can select a login enter the password twice and then click on the combobox move the selection around before finally clicking the original name and the login count is reset to 0.Is their a way to do this without using variables to store the previous value (perhaps using validating/validation methods)?

Are they fired simultaneously when an item is selected from the drop-down list of the combo?
View 1 RepliesI have a WinForms app built with VB.Net in VS 2010, and I'm scratching my head over the following issue.I have a form with a combobox which gets bound to a datasource when the form is loaded:
With Me.cboCompany
.DataBindings.Clear()
.DataSource = Me.m_dsBidResults.Tables("Company")
.ValueMember = "company_id"
[code].....
This seems to work fine, as long as the user doesn't switch focus to some other control and then go back to the combobox. After switching focus, if the user then changes the combobox selection to the first item in the dropdown list (SelectedIndex = 0), the SelectionChangeCommitted event fires, but the SelectedValue remains set to the previously selected value. I've verified this by adding a message box in the above event handler, displaying SelectedIndex and SelectedValue side-by-side.
'add this to SelectionChangeCommitted event handler MsgBox(String.Format("Selected Index: {0}, Selected Value: {1}", cboCompany.SelectedIndex, cboCompany.SelectedValue))
This does NOT happen if the user changes SelectedIndex to anything other than 0; everything behaves as expected. I've verified that the table I'm binding to contains unique values for company_id and company_name.Do I need to use some other event to verify that the SelectedValue has actually changed?

and am trying to get that label to work with every item of the combobox. I do not know what property or code of the combobox makes this work correctly, but so far only the first index of the data file gets recognized by the combobox. If I click the next item in the combobox while running the program, it goes to my error message.
I have something to confirm with you. What is the difference between SelectedValueChanged and TextChanged Event in combobox. What would I prefer to use between the two events?
View 3 RepliesI'm trying to perform an action when the value of a drop down changes, only problem is I dynamically insert the different options after the form starts up, which triggers the SelectedValueChanged instance several times. Is there a way so I can only trigger this event when the user changes the value themselves and not while the dropdown's updating?
Another question. I have a ListView as a grid with gridlines. I have checkboxes but I only want the user to be able to check one box. I figured I'd use ItemChecked and see if there were two items checked, I would alert the user and uncheck both boxes. But I'm not sure how to do this, the event is triggered whether I check or uncheck a box, and as the drop down menu it is populated after the form loads, which means the event is raised whenever I add items to the list regardless of whether the user has selected them or not.
I'm using vs2008 with vb.net, and I have googled all around for a multi column combobox and I know there is not an easy way to do it in .net. However, this is my situation:I have a table in my database that only has around 4 or 5 entries, with the columns FirstName, LastName, Type. I need all of these columns for each of the 4 or 5 entries to be displayed in the combobox. I've been trying to think of simple ways to do it such as counting all the rows, selecting each cell in a loop and programmatically assigning them to the comboboxes, but I realized that the ID column for these entries have numbers that do not go chronologically. (I thought that if I counted the rows, the row number would correspond to the ID number and I could go about looping and assigning variables/concatenating them into the combobox, but this is not the case).
So I am just looking to see if anyone else has any ideas on what I can do to solve this? It's a pretty simple problem but I'm kinda out of any simple ideas.
I know that with the Command Button, you can utilize the PerformClick option. I would like to know how you would go about doing something similar for a Combobox.What I am looking to do is open the Combobox within the GotFocus method.
View 2 RepliesI have a combo box bound to a datasource. I need to change one combo box (of many) to order the items in descending order.I'm guessing I could order the collection in the dataset, but that will mean all my combo boxes will be reordered?
View 2 RepliesI have a databound Datagridview. The DGV is bound to a datatable of a strongly typed DataSet created using the wizard. Is there any way to re order the columns before displaying them eg: the Columns are displayed in the DGV in this other Col4, Col6, Col3, Col1,Col5, Col2
But I want to it to show as Col1, Col2, col3, Col4, Col5, Col6?
I realise that the display order followed the Column order in the database table and by extension, the datatable. I have re-arranged the columns in the Database but the Datatable still retains the old order.
Consider a MyForm class that contains a shadowed implementation of Show(). It also contains a CreateForm() method, which accepts an instance of the form and calls the shadowed sub:

View 5 RepliesI have a large problem with inheritance in vb.net. The problem is the following:
I have 2 forms => frmBase and frmChild
In frmBase i want to create a method Called StartWorking() and i want frmChild to inherit this method.
But here is the tricky thing: when frmChild.StartWorking is called i would like the following => without calling MyBase.StartWorking()
I want frmBase.StartWorking() to be executed first and after a test in frmBase.StartWorking if blnValue is true then frmChild.StartWorking has to be activated. if blnValue is false that frmChild.StartWorking cannot be activated.
I have nine pictures that I need to animate -I need to use the ToString method and a counter to concatenate a file name into a string variable from the Image.FromFile method. Once the counter reaches its maximum value, and the last picture is displayed, the counter should be reset to zero or one depending on how the first image file has been name. Also a static counter variable should be incremented in the time routine. what I have so far -- I know what I have to do; however, I just do not know how to code this properly.. Right now I have this going thru a button procedure but it needs to go through a timer.

am trying to get the following code to work:
Dim testString As String
testString = cbbxStartDt.SelectedValue.ToString("yyyyMMdd")
when doing so the code is being stoped and I get "InvalidCastException" error emssage:
Conversion from string "yyyyMMdd" to type 'Integer' is not valid.
If I do the following, then it works:
Dim testDate As Date
Dim testString As String
testDate = cbbxStartDt.SelectedValue
testString = testDate.ToString("yyyyMMdd")
This, returns the desired value: "20110103"
NB:
cbbxStartDt.SelectedValue.ToString returns: "03/01/2011 00:00:00"
So would it be possible that the problem comes from of the "time bit" : "00:00:00"?if, so is it the parsetime function which would allow to take into account only the time bit value of the combobox?
Write an overload for every numeric type or if possible constrain a generic extension method to just numeric types.

When I am loading an Assembly dynamically, then calling a method from it, I appear to be getting the method from Assembly executing before the code in the method that is calling it.It does not appear to be executing in a Serial manner as I would expect. Can anyone shine some light on why this might be happening. Below is some code to illustrate what I am seeing, the code from the some.dll assembly calls a method named PerformLookup. For testing I put a similar MessageBox type output with "PerformLookup Time: " as the text. What I end up seeing is:
First: "PerformLookup Time: 40:842"
Second: "initIndex Time: 45:873"
