Is it possible to disable some items in a combobox?Depending on the current mode that my application is in, certain items need to be enabled or disabled.I know that I could remove the items and rebuild the combobox but in this case I think that by showing the items greyed out it gives the user feedback as to what mode they are in and what options would be available to them if they decided to switch modes.

I have a combobox that retrieves data from a database. Occassionally i have to disable some items from the table by setting a value in the table so that item is not available in the dropdown for users. I do this through my SQL query i.e.SELECT * FROM TABLE WHERE ADDITEMTODROPDOWN=1
When i have the DropDownStyle set to normal (dropdown) and the application loads the dropdown shows the item from the database which is no longer available for users to select (the item is set to disabled or this is fine and is what im after. I then change the DropDownStyle to DropDownList to make it look like a button so users cannot enter their own items. As soon as i load the form with the combobox the item that i disabled no longer appears as the original text.

View 1 RepliesCurrently I am working on VB.Net 3.5 Win Forms. I have few queries about datagridview

Historically I used Tek-Tips for stuff like this but I can no longer access my account there and they do not respond to form based mail. Maybe they got tired of the questions too :-)
I am not a student. I manage a 'large' network. Every now and then I need to roll up something for a specific task. Most of the stuff I write only sees my desktop so neatness and originality are not an issue.My current 'project' is throttling back a few of my users disk storage. I am not allowed to implement Quota's (Server 2003 infrastructure) so I thought the next best thing would be a duplicate file report. I purchased Folder Sized 4 which is a beautiful product (I have used it since it's humble beginnings as Bullet Proof Folders). The end users claim that the filename and date checks are not enough to prove a duplicate. Enter my idea.
I have cobbled together a MD5 hash generator from a function found out on the web. Now I want to send the results to a datagridview instead of my current disk files.I has thought that I could access the rows & columns like dgv.row(x).column(x) = "strFile", dgv.row(x).column(y) = "strMD5"Nope, hunting through the available properties did not point me to any likely candidates.
Again, if this is not the place for questions of this nature please let me know. I am not a programmer, nor am I in training to be one. I just toss little things like this together when needed. Importing a CSV file into Excell is working, but it seems rather lame to be taking so many steps.
