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
Public Sub New()

Select A Particular Value On A Combobox By Looping Through Combobox Items?
Jan 5, 2012I have a form in my vb.net application used to take the data about the returned stock. The form contains two comboboxes. One, named combobox5, contains invoice numbers and the other, named combobox3, contains party codes. Both the comboboxes are pre_loaded using sqldataadapter.
Now what i want is to change the party code in combobox3 when the invoice number is changed in combobox5. Elaborating it further, When Stock is issued the party code is stored along with the invoice number to keep track of to which party was the stock issued. Now when stock is returned i want to keep track that which party has returned the stock and i want that the party code should be automatically selected when the invoice number is changed and it should be what is stored in the database against that particular invoice number....
I'm using the following code for doing so:
Private Sub ComboBox5_SelectedIndexChanged(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles ComboBox5.SelectedIndexChanged
' defines a new connection to the database
Dim con As New SqlConnection("Data Source=TAHA;Initial Catalog=ADT;Integrated Security=True")

.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)

Feb 24, 2011I'm in the process of converting an Access 2007 database to vb.net (in visual studio 2010). I want the user to be able to maintain the items in these comboboxes....adding, updating, and deleting any item they choose. In Access, I had a button which would display the combobox items and allow the user to maintain. Upon leaving this display, the combobox would be refreshed. Is this the best practice for vb.net? Would it be any different than what I'm doing now in Access?
View 5 RepliesCombobox Performance Many Items?
Oct 28, 2008So, I've been reading around on the internet and through MSDN trying to find a way to add thousands of items to a combobox without taking 12 seconds.I KNOW, I'm going to incite reflex-responses involving: bad design; use categories and filter; use BeginUpdate ...Here's the thing.I've read through a lot of similiar forum questions as the one I'm asking and none really seemed to answer the question, but these responses are common.The problem is, there is no way to further categorize.I have thousands of customers and each customer can have anywhere from 1 to tens of thousands of designs.The designs have to IDs: DesignID and DesignTitle. The data entry people sometimes have the one and sometimes have the other. If they have the DesignID than all they've got is a number ranging from 1 to (at this time) 60,000. One Customer has 11000 designs. I don't know of any way to further categorize.The reason I use a combobox is for autocomplete. Also, with most customers there are only 10-20 designs, but for some there are thousands.I have to have one practical solution that handles all possibilities.
As far as BeginUpdate or SuspendLayout is concerned, neither have any effect.The sad thing is, the DataSource takes less than a second to load from my DataBase.It's just the setting of the datasource for the combobox that takes so long.It seems to iterate through the entire list once for the bindingsource and then again when I set the DisplayMember.I can set the display member before I set the binding source but that doesn't make any difference in terms of performance.Performance is improved by almost half when I don't use a BindingSource and just set the Combo's DataSource to the List directly, but, sadly, I need to use the bindingSource because there are multiple Combos using the same list.I know WPF uses virtualization for it's combos,.On the internet I found a Technical document on how to implement a Virtual Combobox in C#, but the code was incomplete and I don't really have the time to spend several days creating and debugging something like that.
