I want the text boxes to populate when a result is clicked from the drop list of the combo box at the moment you start typing in the combo box and it starts to populate with first names then you pick one of the names from the list which is displayed in the drop down box you then have to click the box to get it to populate the text boxes.
I do however have a slight background with VBA particularly with MS Access, so I am not completely lost.I am recreating my Access database application in VB.net.I created a new project and added an Access database through the wizard, which automatically created a dataset for the database. On one of my forms I have, esentially, a search form. What I want to happen is have a text box, and as I start typing display a search result from my customers table in the list box under it. So for example, I type "A" and all customer names that start with "A" are displayed in the list box.I continue typing with a "p" (full string is now "Ap"), then all customer names that start with "Ap" are displayed and so on...
I did search on my own first before posting this and found a few tips but cant really get it to work the way I want. This is what I have... I know I would put this code in the keypress event of my test box, but just until I get it working I attached it to a button to search. (I basically got this online and not even sure its the correct usage.
Private Sub Button2_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button2.Click 'Create a dataview[code].....
The item in red is where i get an error. it sucessfully builds and i open the find form enter a last name that I know is in the customers table, but I get the error "Cannot find Column ["whatever name i typed inthe text box"].So first of all is this the correct way of going about what I want to achieve?If so how can I get it to work?BTW the next step for the user would be to double click the customer in the list box they are searching for to open the customer Details form for that customer, so I would need an ID or Index attached to that item to be able to open that record in another form.
I am not sure but i am looking for some help regarding values to be autosuggested from database when a user types in a textbox and the values should be a drop down list. I am using VB Net and it is something like the Autocomplete feature except that the values should be from database. I have not seen any links to this type of material but i just wanna know if it is possible. Infact i have found this type of stuff working with a combobox but havent found any for textbox.
I would like to maintain a list of all of the strings entered into a ComboBox across all uses of an application on a given PC, for use as the AutoCompleteSource for that ComboBox, i.e., I enter in "Fred" in the ComboBox, commit the data, close the application, reopen the application, reopen the ComboBox, type "F", receive the suggestion "Fred".Assuming I already have in place code to create and maintain such a list in memory and add new elements to it as they are entered into the ComboBox, etc., what do you suggest as the best way to save/load this data in between sessions?Possible complicating factors: This application will be deployed via OneClick deployment, and will search for updates online every time the application starts. I would prefer that if the application updates, the list still exists after the update has completed.
i have a combo box with data from database,it can already show all the data in the list when you click the list down,what i want to do is when i type on the combo box it can show me all the available items based on the text that i type, is it possible?
txtBox has key up event that fires, if txBox.length = 2, a sql select to dataset for custom source of autocomplete.when user types in 2 letters it selects the 2 letters and when 3rd character is typed of course it erases the first 2 if you dont unselect..
Private Sub txtBox_KeyUp(sender, e ) Handles txtBox.Keyup If txtCriteria_Lanemgr.TextLength = 2 Then Dim strSQL As String
I have a datagridview with 2 columns, 1 is Batch_Number and another is Existing_Stock, there is about 6000 rows.My question is, I want to be able to write in a TextBox and hit a Search Button to search the Batch_Number column and filter out or highlight the row with the matching number to see the Existing_Stock
How can I search, for example ID Number, and want to highlight the listview item found in search from my first form? I'm using combobox from my second form to search.
I'm using SQL as a database in VB 2010, I already add a table to my form as a datagrid view but I don't know how to add buttons for filtering, deleting and adding things in my table, for example I want to have one button on my form call it search button to search in table names or Phone Numbers. how can I do that and where shall I write the code?
I'm in a bit of a quandry. I am trying to build a simple search form where the user selects the column title and in puts the criteria then clicks the search button. This is the code I am using
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click details = ComboBox2.Text 'column name selected by user specifics = TextBox1.Text 'criteria input by user
changing the way the site search is done from just search a phrase as one string to searching a phrase "as multiple words" search. For example, if I search "cute puppy" right now, it will search it for "cute puppy" as phrase and won't match just "cute" and "puppy". The way the search is implemented is by passing a search phrase to a Stored Procedure in SQL Server.So now, I need to change to site search so when "cute puppy" is searched, it will search two words.... "cute" and "puppy" instead of just "cute puppy". Below is how the store procedure is implemented
I'm creating a search function to search through a binary file and find a record based on the users input. Surprisingly, that isn't the problem! The problem I'm having is that as part of this I'm using a procedure to display results in text boxes, and I'm getting the error "Too many arguments to private sub display customer"I've encountered this error before, but never really knew what it was... Here is my code.
Private Sub btnSearch_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnSearch.Click FilenameCust = "F:\College\CustomersFile.bin"

one of the BIG hurdles in my simple project, making a search engine. I don't know how at all. The search engine need only to search in one Directory with its sub directories and txt files for criteria, and display the results, with option open from the results. any basic code or example maybe?
I have a search function in my app which is a groupbox with a textbox that contains the search keyword and a couple of radiobuttons. Do I have to create a keydown event for every single radiobutton and textbox? Or is there a better way? I tried making a keydown event for the groupbox but that didn't work.
If your interested, this is my
Private Sub Search() Dim textBoxContents As String = txtBoxKeyword.Text Dim keyword As String = Nothing
Im making a search function for an application and they need to be able to search by any value in the DB in any of the three tables. Im wondering the best wayto about this. 2 of the 3 tables have the same columns while the last one is totally different. Below is what I kinda "thought" itd look like but no.
"SELECT * FROM cases, opencases, staff WHERE Crime ='" & txtsearch.Text.ToString & "'"
I need to query the results the user can search for anyterm and if it matches something in the columns it return it to the user. Im wondering if the best way to go about this is to maybe query all the tables and then put all the matching records in a seperate table and the dgv look at that table or how to exactly go about it.
I am developing a application in which i need to get images from a search engine. there are many choices to do that google,yahoo, bing etc. I chose bing simply because microsoft provides tight integration with bing and it offers more functionality to developers. So after searching some more i learned how to use this service in my application. Created a key and added web service reference in my solution.[code]But i cant figure out how to do that, after a lot of searching i came up with this link here url...I am unable to use it. If i use it no results are returned.
