Combo Box - Assign Value To Each Item?
Dec 20, 2010
assign a particular value to each item in a combo box? Or, alternatively, some similar control? Specifically, I want a drop down list to select from a list of countries. I then want to get the ISO 2 letter abbreviation for the selected country. I could have a section of code like this
selected_country = cmb_country.SelectedItem.ToString()
if selected_country = "Afghanistan" Then
country_code = "AF"
ELSE IF selected_country = "Aland Islands" Then
[code]....
but this will get rather tedious.Is there an easier way to do it? I would like to be able to assign a value to each line in the list, like
Afghanistan, AF
Aland Islands, AX
Albania, AL
then get the value for the selected item. Is this possible? If not with a combo box, then any other control?

I have a property called ReplacementTo and I set a value to it based on the selecteditem from the combobox, like this:
classEquipmentItem.ReplacementTo = cmbReplcmnt.SelectedItem.ToString
Now I can't use cmbReplcmnt.Text because what I actually need is the value of that SelectedItem
So problem is, if the user leaves the combobox as blank, it throws a null exception.I decided to use the IIf function then:classEquipmentItem.ReplacementTo = IIf(IsNothing(cmbReplcmnt.SelectedItem.ToString), classEquipmentItem.ReplacementTo = "", cmbReplcmnt.SelectedItem.ToString)
Unfortunately I still get the error I tried using a Try-Catch for it and it worked, but I don't want to rely on the Try-Catch, so I was wondering is there a another way to work this through?

I wish to create a drop-down list box with items in it. Easy to do and done that. What I also wish to to is assign a numerical value to each list item. I believe under VB6 is was done using the list's `Value` property to set and get the item. It's so I can write a one byte value to a file but display a text value on the form. Don't wish to mess wish classes and arrays, but if I have to I guess it'll be have to be done.Was looking at some examples of making in-memory arrays/datasets for a list-box but just sees like a programming overkill for the simple thing I wish to do.Put it another way....
List box item 1 = "First option". List box value 1 = 35
List box item 1 = "Second option". List box value 1 = 44
List box item 1 = "Third option". List box value 1 = 3
If the user selects "Second item" from the drop down list box then that property do I use to retrieve that list item's value `44`. Also, when I pprogramatically populate the drop-down list, how to I set each lite item's `Value` property accordingly. As in the example 35, 44 and 3 Tried using `SelectedItem` and `SelectedValue`?

I have a form with a lot of PictureBoxes. I created an array of these by name, but when I index the array I cant assign an image to the indexed item. In fact all the indexes appear to be nothing. Is there a way to create an array of controls and access them from the array?

I am trying to develop a recipe manager that allows a user to create a shopping list. I've already determined that I want to use a list view for this job. I want to be able to group the items in the shopping list by the appropriate grocery aisle (i.e. Dairy, Bread, Canned Goods, etc.) I'm not sure how to assign the items to the appropriate group as the user selects each item.
I haven't started actually building the application yet as i'm still in the development stage, but i have been testing the list view out to figure out how it works. i've figured out how to add items. i just don't know how to specify the group that each item should belong to.

I'm having some weird trouble with adding a new value in a combobox.The combobox has a datasource which is a bindingsource.The combobox's list is filled from a different table through a different bindingsource. Combobox.valuemember = "ID" and Combobox.displaymember = "Description".When a user types a value in the list, I want to add the new value to the table which is the source for the list. (Which is not the problem, but I don't get that far) The problem is that when the user types a new value in the box, it totally disappears as soon as the user tabs out of the combobox. So, in the event combobox.Validating the combobox.text property (nor any other property) does not show the new typed value.

I am using VB 2008 Express Edition.
Say I have Combobox1 with items (1)Breakfast (2) Lunch (3)Dinner
and I have combobox2 with items (1)Apples (2)Bananas (3)Grapes(4)Oranges
Now when I choose Breakfast in combobox1, I want user to see all 4 items in combobox2. But when I choose Lunch in combobox1, I only want user to see (1)Bananas(2)Grapes(4)Oranges in combobox2, hiding Apples.
Does anyone know a code where I can hide an item in a combo box depending on the condition?

When my application starts, it scans the computers registry for COM ports and adds them in the combo box. The combo box first index is just a blank, and the second is COM1, COM2,...COMn. What I want to do is by default, I want my program to select the first COM port in the combo box, so in this case, COM1.
I know I have to use the PORTNAME property of the serial object, but not sure how I would set that equal to the 2nd index of the combo box.

The ComboBox Items collection is an ObjectCollection, so of course you can store anything you want in there, but that means you don't get a Text property like you would with, say, a ListViewItem. The ComboBox displays the items by calling ToString() on each item, or using reflection if the DisplayMember property is set.
My ComboBox is in DropDownList mode. I have a situation where I want to refresh the item text of a single item in the list when it gets selected by the user. The problem is that the ComboBox doesn't re-query for the text at any time besides when it loads up, and I can't figure out how else to do what I want besides removing and re-adding the selected item like so:
PlantComboBoxItem selectedItem = cboPlants.SelectedItem as PlantComboBoxItem;
// ...
cboPlants.BeginUpdate();
int selectedIndex = cboPlants.SelectedIndex;
[Code]....
This code works fine, except for the fact that my SelectedIndex event ends up getting fired twice (once on the original user event, and then again when I re-set the property in this code). In this case, it's not a big deal that the event is fired twice, but it's inefficient, and I hate that. I could rig up a flag so it exits the event the second time, but that's hacking.

Ok what I have is a combo box with a set of default items but i want the user to be able add new items to the combo box's item list. i currently have a text box and a command button for the user to use to add new items to the list with this code attached
ComboBox1.Items.Add(TextBox1.Text)
when the program is closed the item is no longer in the combo box items list.
so what i would like to know is the correct code to make the additions to the combo box's items list permanent or at least until the user chooses to remove them.
