View 10 RepliesSince we have to resize the combo box dropdown area based on the combo box item length, used the drawstring() to add items to combo based on the item length. This gave us the below issue: On moving the cursor on the drop down area the font color and the background color are back hence the text is not readable (i.e. the whole item becomes black).
Below piece of code is used to achieve this,
Private Sub cboClient_DrawItem(ByVal
sender As
Object,
ByVal e
As System.Windows.Forms.DrawItemEventArgs)
[Code] .....
We tried changing font color and the dropdown area backcolor on selecting a particular item. How to make the text readable (i.e. the font color should change while if we scroll on the item).

I add strings (items) dynamically to a ToolStripItemCollection by:
Dim onClickHandler As System.EventHandler = New System.EventHandler(AddressOf Symbol_Click)
Dim item As New ToolStripMenuItem(newSymbol, Nothing, onClickHandler)
SomeToolStripMenuItem.DropDownItems.Add(item)
So the items are not added in one go, but one-by-one based on external triggers throughout the program session. I would like to sort the drop-down-list every time I add a new item. What are my options to achieve that?

View 2 RepliesI am trying to sort a treeview, base nodes, which is the first base set you see before you click any + sign's I am trying to sort by alphabetical order, but, for the nodes inside each + view of the tree's I want to sort by number order, the number is currently set to the tag as text version of the number. Anyways, for the nodes in the + view's I need it to be able to skip over numbers if not every number in sequential order is there, so if number 4 is missing for example, still sort 1,2,3,5,6. My full code is pretty big but just retrieving items to display is random & I just add items as they come in, now they don't come fast or even when your not expecting new things to appear so it should not matter how it works really as it wont be updating as they are using the treeview.

View 2 RepliesI have a question about efficient implementation. Lets say I have two arrays:
One array is all possible items in a house: Table, Chair, TV, Fireplace, Bed
The other is an array of items in a particular house: Table, TV, Bed
I also have two list boxes:
1. listbox for items in the house - the "HAS" list box
2. listbox items not in the house - the "NEEDS" list box
I need to list the items already in the house in the "HAS" list box as well as the items that are NOT in the house in the "NEEDS" list box. It seems to me that nested "For each" loops would be a start to solving this problem but I am not exactly sure which case needs to be nested.
i used the sorting method at msdn but it isnt nice. it sorts in string format like 1,11,12,2,21,23,3,31,32 etc. is there any other sorting method.

View 1 RepliesLet me preface this by saying that I'm very much a novice coder. I'm currently working on a small project to practice with Visual Basic and have experienced some issues during my save and load process using text files. I think I can solve the issue by changing the way my text file is initially saved. I want to see if I can sort the items and change the order in which they are written to the text file based of the value in one of the lines.[code]....

How would one code a button so upon cliking it items in listbox would sort either ascending or descending (depends on the button clicked). It mustn't be done with built-in Sort() but with a for loop for example. Tried to pseudo-code the solution to the problem, went as far as "store each listbox item in an array with a for loop".

View 2 RepliesI am making some kind of calendar where I can add tasks, so I can easily organise my tasks. For it to complete, I have 3 things I can't figure out how to do it:
1. When I launch the program, I want the items in my listbox to be sorted alphabeticly.
2. I want to save the items in the listbox, so if I close the program and reopen it the items are still saved in the listbox.
3. The items in the listbox all start with a date, fe. "13-4" for today. If that date already passed I want that item to be deleted.
this is not working?
