Set The ComboBox To Spaces?

Feb 20, 2009

I have a Combo Box which I fill at design time and the Text property is set to blanks. I've added a button to clear the form. I would like to set the ComboBox to spaces, but the first entry shows up.

Code for Designer

Me.ComboBox2.DropDownStyle = System.Windows.Forms.ComboBoxStyle.DropDownList
Me.ComboBox2.FormattingEnabled = True
Me.ComboBox2.Items.AddRange(New Object() {"QUERY ", "QUERY/R ", "REPLY ",

[Code]......

I tried adding a blank item, and setting the SelectedIndex to 4, but then the blank entry shows up as a choice in the drop down box.

Combobox - Can Override The Auto-complete Comparator To Ignore Spaces, Hyphens Etc

Sep 29, 2010

We have a combo box where users enter a part number. Auto-complete is on and we're in SuggestAppend mode with the source set as ListItems. The part number is in a format something like this:-

XX XX-XXX

2 chars, a space, 2 chars, a hyphen, 3 chars. The format does change slightly for different types of parts but the combination of characters (ignoring the spaces and hyphens) is always unique. The format is just a presentation issue but, for business/political reasons, we cannot 'flatten' it to just the characters.

Our users would like to be able to just type the characters and have the auto-complete work. However, they still want the display to show the spaces and hyphens, both in the list and in the 'textbox' part of the combo when they make a selection. So the list might look like:-

AB KN-TRD
AB KN-TTN
AB PR-TRD

[code]....

the user types AB, the list now looks like:-

AB KN-TRD
AB KN-TTN
AB PR-TRD
AB PR-TTN

Now the user types K (nb, they have not typed a space), the list now looks like:-

AB KN-TRD
AB KN-TTN

At this point it's acceptable for the textbox to show ABK (no space) but as soon as the the user makes a selection the textbox needs to contain the spaces and hyphens from the part number selected.My hunch is that there must be some sort of comparator function in the combobox I can override but I'm struggling to find the details as to how.

VS 2008 : Are Spaces In A Masked Texbox Not Really Spaces

Jan 1, 2010

I just changed a control on a form from a masked textbox to a normal textbox because I wrote my own code to validate the data. I'm trying to clear the leading spaces that were created for this column in an Access database using the LTrim function and it doesn't work for some reason. The column is " :30" in the table and when I LTrim it and save the changes, it's still " :30" , not ":30". Is that leading entry not a space character?

Get Rid Of All The Spaces?

Dec 31, 2010

I have the following macro that combines two columns in a table and then displays it in my ListBox. The problem is that when it combines the columns there is a large gap (spaces) between the two. How can I get rid of all the spaces?

Dim sourcedoc As Document, h As Integer, j As Integer, myitem As Range, m As Long, n As Long
Set sourcedoc = Documents.Open(FileName:="U:INDUSTRIAL SAFETY RISK ASSESSMENT.doc")
h = sourcedoc.Tables(1).Rows.Count - 1

Put Some Spaces In String In .Net?

Sep 8, 2010

i have string like

Dim Test as String = "abc " & " def"

what above code does is gives is "abc def" as output, what i want is "abc--------def" (where hash sign is spaces i need) i have tried

Dim Test as String = "abc----" & "----def"

for some reason (dot)net only takes it as one single space. check above(1) example ,i gave two spaces but it got converted to one space.

Dim Test as String = "abc" & Char(9) & "def"

doesn't work (found char(9) solution on internet)

Dim Test as String = "abc" & space(8) & "def"

doesn't work I have tried another 10 different option but none seems to be working for me.

Automatically Add Necessary Spaces To Comments?

Jul 5, 2010

When I'm writing comments in my code, I often forget to add the initial space after the comment identifier.

'this is a comment

when really it is supposed to be

' this is a comment

I realize this is quite trivial, and you could simply say "just add the damn space you idiot", but I'd really like to automate this so that I just don't have to worry about it. add the comment space?note I do realize that a catch all string replace or regex replace could screw up other things ... IE:

Dim something As String = "I'm a nerd"

would actually come out

Dim something As String = "I' m a nerd"

if it's only on a line by it's self and is not followed by a second single quote... IE: '' would not trigger the replacement.

Finding Spaces In A String

Feb 14, 2009

I want to be able to find both spaces using the indexof method. Here's my code so far. Basically the program will turn the string "Will Smith" to "Smith, Will" But I noticed when I type in a name with a middle initial or middle name "Will J Smith" I would get "J Smith, Will" And I want to be able to find that second space when its there and apply a code that would produce "Smith, Will J" When there is a second space. How would I go about doing so?

Put Spaces In A C# Enum Constant?

Jul 13, 2009

Is there any way to put spaces in a C# enum constant? I've read that you can do it in VB by doing this:

Public Enum EnumWithSpaces

[Constant With Spaces]

That implies to me that the CLR can handle an enum with spaces.

Text Cleaner For Spaces ?

Aug 17, 2009

I have some HUGE text files (easily around 2000+ lines) I need to clean where some of the formatting is like this:

CODE:

Of course there are more than 2 words in the lines, but what I said was just an example. I have to clean these files and I just want to know how to delete the whole line after the spaces (including the gibberish), but I don't want to delete the spaces in between the words that need to stay.

I was thinking I could test for 2 or more spaces and if that's true then delete the rest of the line beginning at the first space. The only issue is there are tabs sometimes between the words and I don't want to mess with those right now. (I have no clue how to make source that deletes spaces but not tabs... Perhaps you can single out tabs?)

Because of the formatting to make the text files look "cleaner" there are sometimes 5 (least) - 8 spaces (max) between each some words. So should I check for 9 spaces? (1 more than 8). There seriously are huge amounts of spaces between the words and the gibberish.

I'll worry about formatting the text and what not later, right now I'm only asking for help with the spaces and gibberish issue .

I'm usually a C++ man, not used to VB.NET (2005) but I will only be using this project for cleaning these files and the dialogs are much easier to make than MFC for C++. So I figured this would be much faster and easier (except I have very little experience with VB.NET)

The problem I've noticed, is that when I save a digit, it tags a space on the end of it, so that when I read the file I have to read every 2nd character.... plus ofc it makes the file twice as large. Is there a way to trim the space from my digit when I save it to a text file?

Adding Spaces To Second Line In A Label?

Oct 21, 2011

I made the labels red so you can see them. I used a picture of a little mug as bullet, aligned top-left. The label text normaly begins at the far left of the label, but with a bit of coding I solved that problem. I did not want to add extra spaces
to the text directly for keeping the data base small. The problem however is when the label has 2 or more lines of text the text don't line up nicely with the top line, once again I no not want to save the extra spaces to the data base.

Here is the picture and the code used.

CheckLabel.DataBindings.Add("text", Hoof_GeregteBindingSource, ("Inhoud" & (Inhoud_Label_Counter).ToString))
Dim MyVar As String = CheckLabel.Text
MyVar = MyVar.Substring(MyVar.IndexOf("#") + 1)
Select Case CheckLabel.Text.Substring(0, 1)
