View 1 RepliesI have a problem with combobox. I set the DrawMode into OwnerDrawVariable so I can draw items seperately with styles, but the characters of the items are now displaying blocks. The block characters are none ASCII. It used to display well but not now and I don't know what caused it to happen. I didn't change my system locale. At the same time, other combobox that have Normal DrawMode displays nicely fine.
My custom drawing code:
e.Graphics.DrawString(combo.Items(e.Index), combo.Font, b2, rect.X, rect.Y)
When an item is selected from the list it displays in the text field of the combo box and I want to clear it without clearing the items in the list. I've tried [dropdown list_name].text = ""[Eg:- CBSelect.Text = ""] but it doesn't work since the text entering field in a drop down list box is read only.How should I do that. By the way, I'm coding in VB.NET 2005 so please give answers in VB.NET 2005.And my selection is from combobox its clear. same combobox property ( DropDown style = DropDown List ) text is not clear.

I currently have a list of words in a text file sorted in to alphabetical order and put into lower case, but I would like to be able to also display the line numbers on which these words are associated with.. but only one instance of.
For example,

have just made

As you can see above, I would like to show that "this" for example appears on line 1 and 4. Hopefully tabbed so that it keeps a nice look to it.

Firstly i apologise for another topic on a subject i have created already but this is a slightly different question and not related to LINQ at all despite the fact the code uses LINQ (the linq works fine and creates a List(Of Test) where each 'Test' contains a List(Of TestList) This data could be anything i guess and could come from an array or a database rather than xml literals.Ok, essentially i have a list which contains a list and i wish to display all the properties (List and list within this List) onto a DataRepeater Control. I have developed a testbed to get this working so i can implement it into my main application. Firstly I'll show the current code and how to construct the form and after that i will explain what i have tried and what i have had happen from these trials over the last week.
Public Class Form1
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load

Then click again, display the new text at 2nd line of the textbox without deleting the previous text?
View 5 RepliesI am new to vb.net and I am using visual studio 2010. I have two comboboxes on a form, each combobox is set to DropDownList so that a list of items can show in the combobox, but no text is allowed to be entered.
For combobox A, if user chooses item 1, the list of combobox B should be updated accordingly. I think this is quite common on a lot of applications. But I do not know to implement it. I even do not know the keyword to search for the relevant property or event handler.

I'm making a combobox on a form. I want the combobox to have a list of choices from a table in a db. The two columns are a String and a Date. I want the date column to only show the year. I'm hoping I have the code right as it is above, but I'm not positive I've done the whole date thing right.
I need to use an array at any part of the project. It has been suggested to me to build an array and show its result in a combobox. Instead of having an input textbox, i will have a combobox which will display 10 common names which are kept in the array.
'Defines the array Names
Dim names(9) As String
'Defines the array's fields[code]......
the combox is bound database table,but it is not displaying the contents of table in database,instead it is displaying corresponding null values(blank).it is showing just "select" and the blank spaces corresponding to the number of items in database
here is my
Function combobfill() As DataSet
addconnection.Open()
Dim selectstring As String = "select materialsname from materialtype_table"
[Code]....
the code display 2 colunms in one combo box from a table. i have table with 2 columns account_type and account_name. the account_type is an abbreviation(codes) which would be stored in a new table when selected. I want the code when the combo is click, would display the code-account_type and account_name in the same combo box.
Private Sub cboAccount_type_SelectedIndexChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles cboAccount_type.SelectedIndexChanged
Dim cn As New SqlConnection(ConnectionString)
Dim query As String = "Select Concat(Account_type, ' - ', Account_Name) As AccountDesc, Account_type from Accounts"

I have a combobox that has filter items in it:
Me.cmbFilter.DataSource = (From f In files _
Let extension = "*" & Path.GetExtension(f) _
Order By extension _
Select extension Distinct).ToArray()
Displays OK in Vista - doesn't in XP
I'm trying to display some data in my combobox, the strange thing is that the combobox displays all data that has 4 four columns (I only want to display 3 columns out the four) but its not displaying rows that only have three columns?
For example
Text File
Column1, Column2, Column3, Column4
I only want to display columns 1, 3 and 4 so I use the following coding
For Each Line As String In System.IO.File.ReadAllLines(Path)
If String.IsNullOrEmpty(Line) Then Continue For
Dim Columns() As String = Line.Split(New Char() {" "c}, StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries)
If Columns.Count < 4 Then Continue For
Combobox1.Items.Add(Columns(0) & " " & Columns(2) & " " & Columns(3))
Next Line
But some of the rows only have
Column1, Column2 and Column3
Again I only want to display column1 and column3.
The Combo-box only has three items (Top View, From South looking North, From West looking East). Bound data from an Access Query called qryViewsFilteredByJob. I'm using it to pass a parameter to the filter for a binding source on a second query called qryAllSections2 (I don't think that's important though.)
When the form loads up it displays correctly stating on 'Top View', and I can click another other item just fine. When I pick another item, however, the first item, 'Top View', disappears and it replaced by whatever item I just clicked. So if I clicked 'From South looking North', the three item choices are now 'From South looking North', 'From West looking East', and 'From South looking North' again...
I'm building a program in which it asks for your name and age and determines a ticket price based upon these details. I want it to show the person's name, then their age, (jump down a line) then their ticket price, and then it jumps down a line to show the next person's name, age and ticket price. Issue is, when it's meant to jump down to show the next person, it just completely deletes the last person's details.I'm using this line of code:
TxtFareShow.Text = (Name & Age & vbCrLf & Price) & vbCrLf
How do I fix this?
What I am trying to accomplish is this: I have a login page were a student logs in. After the login the student will be taken to a student user page. This page has 2 list boxes. The first is showing the exams that he has passed and the other shows the exams he has yet to complete or fail. I can not get any data to display in my list box. If I can figure the first one out I can do the second one easily but I can not get the first one to work. Here is my code that I have so far:
Private Sub Student_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
Label1.Text = "Welcome " & _passedText

I am currently having a headache on how to solve this problem that i am facing.here is the situation:I have a combobox and a list box on the main form. The combobox will get the data from the ms access database.In the database, i have the details of a person's IC, Name and DOB say for eg on one entry I have D215311523C,SHAWN,13/04/1987
So now, my combobox on form load will show the list of dates in the database to allow the user to search base on the date itself by clicking on the selected date. So when the user clicks on the particular date say 13/04/1987, people in the database whose birthday is 13/04/1987 will be shown on the listbox.Meaning to say if i have 3 entries whose dates are the same 13/04/1987, 3 entries will appear. If there is only two entry, then two results will be shown.

I am using a ListView control to display Pictures along with description and caption. I used to save the full path of the image in the url field, so when I display them in the ListView I don't need to edit anything. Now I am using something like:
HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath("~/photos/") + savedURL
How can I edit my ListView to make it show the images?
I used to do the same to GridView when in GridViews RowDataBound event I manipulate the contents like:
Dim photo As New Image
photo.ImageUrl = "~/photos/" + e.Row.Cells(TheCellNumber).Text
e.Row.Cells(0).Controls.Clear()
e.Row.Cells(0).Controls.Add(photo)
I can't seem to get the syntax right for this. I have a structure stored in a generic list and when it displays I get this "GenericList_T_.Form1+stuMotorInfo" in the messagebox. I've tried a few things and get roughly the same thing.
Here is the code:
Option Strict On
Public Class Form1
Private Structure stuMotorInfo
Public MotorId As String

So we are just starting to learn about list boxes in vb1. In this program the user enters up to 10 scores and after each input (decInputScore) the total score so far has to be calculates (decTotalScore) and then of course when all the scores are entered, at the bottom the final score it calculated. (decFinalScore) (decFinal). I'm not exactly sure what I'm doing wrong, I can't get it to calculate the correct total scores after each input, and I'm getting 0 as the final score. Here is a visual of what the form should look like: the black square is (btnEnterScore) a pop up message box comes up in which the user enters each value when clicked.[code]

This should, when you are typing in a function, display the "Get or sets the Patient Code" then below that, it should display a list of bulleted items with "Validation:" as the header? Maybe I am doing it wrong, but it doesn't seem to be working correctly.
I have a list of string. When user inputs chars in, the program would display all possible strings from the list in a textbox.
Dim fruit as new List(Of String) 'contains apple,orange,pear,banana
Dim rx as New Regex(fruit)
For example If user enters a,p,l,e,r , then the program would display apple and pear. It should match any entry for which all letters have been entered, regardless of order and regardless of additional letters.
I have a form displayed where a user can can select a 'function' from a list box. That 'function' has a corresponding ID number which I need to be able to take and use later in the code.The List of functions is preset (about 150+ them and the IDs are already assigned (so I can't just use the index).So if the user selects "Function A", I need the code to set a variable to, for example "42" (or whatever that Funtion's ID is).
I was going to do this using listbox.item and listbox.itemData, but I'm using VB.Net in VS2008 and I understand that function is no longer present (to add ItemData at design time).Here's where it gets complicated. When the form loads it looks at the variable containing the FunctionID and if there is one present, I want it to populate the co-ordinating FunctionName. I can do that if I know the index number, but I don't know how to look at the FunctionID and return it's index (all FunctionIDs are unique).
A) store the info, either in the Listbox using ItemData, in an array (but I'd prefer to do it at design time), or some other way you might suggest.
B) cross-reference the ID and display the name in the listbox when the form loads.

I've been writing a weight program for flooded pressure vessels and I'm having trouble retrieving the data from the text files I've been saving. I know how to write the data to the text file, but retrieving it with OpenFileDialog is not so easy for me.The user has individual text boxes that they input strings or numbers into and when they save the file, each text box input is written to one line in the text file. For example, the first text box is for the username, therefore the first line of text that is saved is the person's name, the second text box is the customer, thus the second line in the text file is the customer name, and so on.
(Actually, the first line of text in the saved file designates whether English units were used or Metric units because when the user retrieves the saved file, English units will open one form and Metric units will open a separate form, so some If...Then statement will need to occur).I need to be able to read the first line, have either my "EnglishForm"form open or my "MetricForm" form open, and then have each subsequent line of text be displayed in their corresponding text boxes. I know I need to use ReadLine or LineInput, but I don't have a clue what to do.Assuming the syntax I've displayed below would just magically work (if only life were that easy), it would look something like this
If FirstLineOfTextInFile = "English" Then
EnglishForm.Show()
ElseIf FirstLineOfTextInFile = "Metric" Then[code]....
And so on...I read a lot of articles from the MSDN library and exhausted each link that I've looked through from Google and Bing, but most only retrieve data from the file to a single text box through some loop or streamreader and don't take into account multiple forms.
