So I've looked at some of the posts on updating the combo box and none of the methods seem to work for me.
I have two forms I will refer to as Parent, Child. The Parent form contains a combo box of Business names from my database. The Child form adds a Business to my database. After I exit the Child form I want the combo box on the Parent form to update with the new business.
Also I created the combo box by click-dragging the Business table from my Data Sources window to my form.
I know how to add the items during design time but how do you add the items through code. I want to fill the combo box in the datagrid with the results of an SQL query?

Ok what I have is a combo box with a set of default items but i want the user to be able add new items to the combo box's item list. i currently have a text box and a command button for the user to use to add new items to the list with this code attached
ComboBox1.Items.Add(TextBox1.Text)
when the program is closed the item is no longer in the combo box items list.
so what i would like to know is the correct code to make the additions to the combo box's items list permanent or at least until the user chooses to remove them.

I have two combo boxes. box1 and box2 both on same form. Depending on what is selected in box1 will determin the items in box2. I would like box2 to change in real time (not pressing a button!)

I have a combo box with "Existing Customers" Full Names in it.This combo box gets updated when a "New Customer" entry has been entered in a different form.When the new customer entry has been saved, the user is directed back to the combo box, here the user should be able to pick the new entry at the end of the combo box.This is not working currently, and the combo box only gets updated when I press stop, and play the program again. I was thinking that I possibly was not closing and loading the forms corretly for the "new customer name" to be added to the combo box? [code]is it possible to sort the combo box alphabettically? I tried setting the "sorted" propety to True, but it gives this msg box "ComboBox that has a DataSource set cannot be sorted. Sort the data using the underlying data model."
Using Visual Basics Express 2008, I am trying to add items to a combo box FROM column headers in a datagrid in a separate form. I have written the code to create the datagrid from an external file but can not get the headers of that datagrid to populate the combo box in a separate form.

Private Sub cmdConvertTxt_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles cmdPart.Click Dim dt As New DataTable
I have been using the combo Box keypress event to capture the enter key when it is being pressed by the user within the combobox. The combo box style I am using is Drop Down. When there are no items in the combo box list the keypress event will capture the enter key. When I add any items to the list portion of the combo box the keypress event not longer captures the enter key. How do I capture the enter key when the combo box has items in its list.
Our chapter is all on printing, but the teachers example sends the data to a new form, into a listbox. How do I take the contents of a ComboBox from one form and input it into the ListBox on another form, first adding the line "High School List".
I have this much, but then don't know how to read fromt he ComboBox. Not what is highlighted, but the full contents.
FrmPrint.Show() FrmPrint.LstPrint.Items.Add("High School List")
How to disable other controls when an item is selected from a different combo box. When someone selects a specific item from the combo box provided, It should automatically disable other controls specified to be disable.
I have a single table that has (3) Fields displayed in their own combo boxes. Right now they can only be sorted by one set of criteria. Unfortunately that leaves the other (2) Combo Boxes in random order. When "One" of the values, in "One" of the combo boxes is updated, ALL 3 of them jump to the same record and display the correct data. This part works as designed.The problem is, I need to have a way to sort the other (2) Combo box's data, which is also populated from the same table, AT THE SAME TIME, so that all (3) present sorted data in each of the (3) Combo Boxes. Then when one of the combo boxes is updated, ALL (3) will get updated, just like they do now.THis data populates three of the cells in a data grid, and then the underlyting table(s) after saving. Like I said, the (3) work, but only with one of the orders sorted. I need the same exact functionality, but with (3) different sort orders on the (3) Boxes.The (3) Combo Boxes are:
1.) cb_PlayerNumber - A Sorted list by the Player's Number (2 Digits as String) 2.) cb_Lastname - A Sorted List By player's Last Name (String) 3.) cb_FirstName - A Sorted List by the Player's First Name (String)
The table these three combo boxes is populated from is the "Players" Table. they all populate perspective colums in the "Gamedata" Datagrid, along with selected data from combo boxes populated from other tables which, when saved updates the "GameData" Table.
I have a combo box with font families and another with font sizes.i know how to change the text font properties according to the combo boxes.but now i want to change the combo box selected items according to the text font properties where the cursor is located.but i can't do that.[code]...
The user will click the book name in the combo box.
Note: The combo box is separate from datagridview . It is not part of datagridview columns.
Then the datagridview for Issuing books i.e. with the columns bid,bname,aname,data of issue,date of return should be displayed.
The row that will be displayed in datagridview is such that the bookname selected by user in the combo box should match with bname row .
On the same datagridview there will be button with name "Issue" so once it is clicked then this whole data of datagridview should get stored in the database table name "Issue" and get deleted from the databse table name "MBA"
I have several combo boxes which are mapped to the same datasource (an array), when user selects one combo box, all other boxes are get updated to the same selection too. what is the problem?
