View 13 RepliesI'm using VB 2005 and have an Edit - Entry form with Textboxes and several Comboboxes. I populate the Comboboxes with Arraylists as shown below. I populate a datatable with the Employee data from my SQL Server. I assign the BindingSource1.Datasource to my Datatable then add Databindings to the ComboControls. The (Fields.STAFF_MGR_ID.ToString) is from an Enum. When all is complete my textbox fields Bind and move with the MoveNext.. no problem, but the comboboxes display nothing.

View 3 Repliesthis is a subset of a previously posted problem, I have narrowed down my issue and am reposting a question from this thread: [URL] I have apparently confused the compiler by renaming some comboboxes in Visual Basic .net express? (See relevant code below) I think the confusion is in who should handle what, with two routines named with variations of ComboBox1 and one handling the other ( it confuses me just trying to interpret it mentally):

I have a form with 4 comboboxes and a button. The first combobox is enabled, but the rest of the controls are disabled. When the form is opened I fill the first combobox (cbxMethod) with a datatable. When the user selects something in cbxMethod the next combobox (cbxStudy) will be filled and so on. When the last combobox (cbxAnalyte) has a selected value I want to enable the button and give it focus so the user can move forward with the program. I basically want to force the user to move from one combobox to the other, until all are filled.I am currently using the SelectionValueChange event, but this event only fires when the user changes the value with their mouse or hits the Enter key, not when the user hits the Tab key.

i am pulling together a cash register that will allow both bar code product entry and manual key entry.imagine if you have a tin of beans in front of you, in a small corner shop they would probably type "47" and then hit "Produce". Fairly straight forward as I have the button Produce to act upon my code and update my salestrans.mdb but,if you scan the bar code I want the same form to handle both 'real' actions, (i assume that keyboard emulation barcode scanner includes "ENTER" after providing 13 digits)....
Q. in perhaps a long winded way i want to know how to kick off an event based on the "ENTER" key being activiated by the barcode scanner)?i do not want to have to hit any buttons if i am scanning bar codes.
What is the code for ignoring the case of an entry while checking to see if the entry is correct or not... (i.e. in a flashcard program... given definition, asks for the name) I don't want the case of a character to affect whether the answer is correct or not.
View 2 RepliesI am trying to make a program with a bar code reader for the first time. I am programming with VB 2005. I want to differentiate a bar code entry to keyboard entry. My questions:
1. Does bar code reader generate a keydown (or keypress) event for each of the digits of the entry? For example, if the barcode read: 1234567890, does that mean that there will be 10 keydown (or keypress) events for that single barcode that was read?
2. I have read from the posts that the best way to differentiating keyboard vs bar code input is to analyse the time between keystroke (for less than certain number of milliseconds).

I have a loop that uses threading to manage an untrappable error in a function that runs from Excel. If the function processes with out issues, Excel closes. However, if a time out occurs Excel cannot close and the following error occurs: "An attempt has been made to free an RCW that is in use. The RCW is in use on the active thread or another thread. Attempting to free an in-use RCW can cause corruption or data loss."
The error occurs at FinalReleaseComObject(Me.xla) xla.Type is Excel.Application and Excel will not close unless it is released.
How can the thread be completely closed when a time out occurs?

I have 5 combo boxes all connected to a database by datasets.
The user should be able to select different items but for some reason when one combobox item is selected, the same item becomes selected for every combobox.
I haven't coded anything regarding the cbx's so why is it doing this?
I have two comboboxes the first one is for order #, the second one is for the amount of order payments, there could be 1, 2, 3... payments for this order. I would like to get all payments to show in the second combobox that relate to the order # selected in the first, process that payment by changing other values in other textbox's. Then have that payment psoted as processed back to the DB table. I have a binding satament, but it pulls all payments, and not just per order. How can I get this to select just by order #?

I need something like ObjectListView and LGPL, BSD or some license that allow its uses in commercial applicatioTo use ObjectListView commercially, companies normally buy a license. A license to use ObjectListView commercially is 100 euros for small companies or 500 euros for medium sized companies. This license gives the company permission to use ObjectListView in any and all of its closed source applications. The license fee covers the current and all future versions -- there are no upgrade fees
View 1 RepliesI've been working on a VB project where I use a 1st drop down list to select a movie category and then in the 2nd drop menu, movies from that category will be displayed. The movies are stored in a 2-dimensional array by category. I've been able to edit my array but I'm having problems with my .AddRange() function. What would I have to put in those parentheses for the list (for each category) to appear in my 2nd combobox when the category is selected?

I bind the two comboboxes with table. One combo contains product and another contains subproduct. When I clicked first combobox then subproduct of that is filtered in another combo. When I clicked next,previous, it is working properly. But when I go to last record second combo is refreshed means it is not showing proper subproduct. Given the code on 1st combo_selectedIndexChanged. When I go to last record the SelectedIndexChanged event occur.thats why it is not show me last record proper.

I can't use string.Format, I have C style format strings;I can't call the native printf (no P/Invoke);I can't use http://www.codeproject.com/KB/printing/PrintfImplementationinCS.aspx because of the license, I need something GPL-compatible.Is there a free implementation of printf/sprintf for the .net framework? Other than the above link, I couldn't find anything.
I cooked up a sprintf function that supports basic format strings, you can find it here: [URL].. I'll try to make it a complete implementation if I can.

View 1 RepliesI have a combo box on a form, it has a large number of values in it (about 40000). When the combo box populates it flickers from invisible to visible for about a second.After investigating this I am sure that it is not the call to the database that is causing this but when the combo is drawn.

I have been setting DataSource for a series of combo boxes to the same table as they all display the same options. However, when I ran the project, any change in any one combo box makes all the others 'flip' to the same selected value. This is obviously wrong.
In Access, you have 'Control Source' which is the db field that is bound to the combo box and 'Row Source' can be a query or whatnot that several combo boxes can run 'independently'.Is there an equivalent option in VB.NET? I DO NOT want to manually enter the exact same options many times as that is hard to maintain, to say the least.
Just to repeat: it is not going to work to say DataSource = Row Source. if two combo boxes are set to the same data source, a selection in one automatically makes the other one select the same value. unless, of course, i am missing something.
