.net - Make A Custom ComboBox (OwnerDrawFixed) Looks 3D Like The Standard ComboBox?
May 3, 2011I am making a custom ComboBox, inherited from Winforms' standard ComboBox. For my custom ComboBox, I set DrawMode to OwnerDrawFixed and DropDownStyle to DropDownList. Then I write my own OnDrawItem method. But I ended up like this:
How do I make my Custom ComboBox to look like the Standard one?
Update 1: ButtonRenderer After searching all around, I found the ButtonRenderer class. It provides a DrawButton static/shared method which -- as the name implies -- draws the proper 3D button. I'm experimenting with it now.
Update 2: What overwrites my control?I tried using the Graphics properties of various objects I can think of, but I always fail. Finally, I tried the Graphics of the form, and apparently something is overwriting my button.
Here's the code:
Protected Overrides Sub OnDrawItem(ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.DrawItemEventArgs)
Dim TextToDraw As String = _DefaultText
__Brush_Window.Color = Color.FromKnownColor(KnownColor.Window)

Make A ComboBox Of A DataGridViewComboBoxColumn Accept User New Items?
Sep 19, 2011Using a DataGridViewComboBoxColumn, the goal is to make the ComboBoxes accept user's new items and also the possibility of choosing items that are already present.I'm aware of using EditingControlShowing event of the DataGridView to change the DropDownStyle of the DataGridViewComboBoxEditingControl at run time to allow this, but I'm wondering if this can be done at a lower level.
What I'm doing now is extending DataGridViewComboBoxColumn, DataGridViewComboBoxCell and DataGridViewComboBoxEditingControl, hoping to change the EditingControl's DropDownStyle in the moment I instantiate it. So far, no luck.The debugger shows the right assignment is being executed, but nonetheless, the DropDownStyle is popping at the EditingControlShowing (using the event for debugging purposes) as DropBoxList, not DropBox, which is the intent.
Here follow the classes:
Public Class DataGridViewComboBoxColumnALT
Inherits System.Windows.Forms.DataGridViewComboBoxColumn

Make A Combobox Selection Change Table I Use For A Subform?
Jul 14, 2009I have a combobox linked to a table Checklist (ID, Checklistname, and several multivalued fields). I want to have my subform display data from different tables based on my combobox selection "checklistname". All the tables are imported Excel files with the same fields and field types (ie. Discrepancy, reference, reference paragraph, category). How do I get my subform to requery based on the combobox selection? Or is there another method when working with "outside tables"? Import good/bad? Make new table? I have about 20 tables, if importing but only need particular data to save/store in my main table, and I need to know which table it came from.

Make Tab Key Or Enter To Move Focus From A Combobox Control?
Jan 26, 2011I have a combobox on an Excel worksheet that I can tab into, then pick my data (located on another worksheet) after activating the "arrow". But the tab or enter key does not allow me to navigate away from the cell after it is populated. The only action that allows the user to move to another cell is by mouse/click to another cell. I am trying to make navigation through though worksheet as user friendly as possible.I can't seem to find any sample code that will take the focus away from that cell using Tab or Enter.
I have no problem with ListBoxes created using the Data Validation method but I have to create a ComboBox control on the active worksheet in order to return the data chosen (in this case a code that corresponds to a description). If this was a Form I wouldn't have any problem as the properties would allow me to set that up, but this is essentially a spreadsheet I've inherited and the current users do not want to go to a Data Entry Form.
