When we click on drop down combobox control in our windows form, it shows the list automatically. But when we press tab and navigate to that control from keyboard it doesn't shows the list automatically. So in other to show the list automatically on receiving focus what should be done?
I have a combo box that has a drop down list with long values in the drop down Ex:
LB - Pounds GR - Grams
When the user selects on of the values I want to just show the Abreviaqtions and not the descriptions. So when the drop down is shown it shows
LB - Pounds GR - Grams
When the user selects "GR - Grams" from the drop down list "GR" is the only this shown in the combobox. I've tried TextChange,SelectedIndexChange and SelectedValueChange but I can't get them to work.
i need some help with this problem. i have seen some solutions but written in C and im not that good to convert from C to vb.net.Well i want to 'do something' when i mouse move at an item of the combobox dropdown list.like when i move the mouse over "jkl" make the button1.text = "jkl"when i move the mouse over "def" item make the button1.text = "def"
I added a few items in the combobox dropdown list at the form load event. [code] At the runtime I dont want to allow the user to write something in the combobox as a text.The user can only select an item from the dropdown list of the combobox.
I have a dropdownlist that I want to populate with a specific value and specific text. I'm not using a datasource but I am manually making a connection and retrieving data in code. How can I populate this dropdownlist? If I read the data with a datareader and increment an array I only get either the value or the text. This is what I have so far, but it is completely wrong:
//connection string etc goes here Dbcmd2.CommandText = "select dept,deptname from table" Dim dr As SqlClient.SqlDataReader[code]....
How can I get this to work without having to create a class object for Department? Is there anyway or should I create the class object?
I just want to display data in a DataGridView (from SQL - already made the connection) based on what is selected in a ComboBox (data that is also coming from SQL). The 2 are separete on the form. I am using VB 2010.
This doesn't work for me: objCommand2.CommandText = "SELECT ProductID, Name, Color, Size, ListPrice FROM SalesLT.Product WHERE ProductCategoryID = " & cbCategory.SelectedValue
Is it possible to change the data source of a dropdown list in a gridview from another dropdown list selected index changed method in the same gridview?
for example I have a dropdown that needs to change its contents depending on what is chosen in the previous cell of the gridview, which is also a dropdown list.
I am trying to write the code needed to link two tables together. One table is a list box and the other table is a data grid view. What would the example of the code needed in order to link these tables together so that each time you click on an item in the list box, the data grid would then show the corresponding information that matches up with the selected item.

MS has a patch for the OnListChanged event handler issue, even though it seems we have to pay to have access to it. This fix specifically addresses an error message when you press ESC to cancel adding a new row in .NET 2.0: [URL]
FIX: Error message when you try to press ESC to cancel adding a new row to a DataGridView control in the .NET Framework 2.0: "An unhandled exception of type 'System.InvalidOperationException' occurred in System.Windows.Forms.dll"
I have a custom control of type MyListControl with a Property called NotifiedList. I would like that when selecting that property in the Property Grid at runtime, that a dropdown list is populated with all the instances of type MyListControl that shared the same container as the original control.
Please forgive, I'm new to Silverlight and am still trying to wrap my head around data binding...
I have a generic list obtained from a class using LINQ. The list has 4 objects, each object consisting of a Letter property (string - A, B, C and D) and a corresponding Number property (integer - 1, 2, 3, and 4).
In Silverlight, I have a combobox control and a text block. I'm trying to figure out how to:
Bind the combobox to the generic list so that the letters populate the combobox.When the user selects a letter in the combobox (say C), the corresponding integer value (3 for this example) is displayed in the text block.
VB 2008 .NET 3.5. I have a custom "Shipment" object that contains a list of "ShippingRate" objects. This list of "ShippingRates" is accessible through a property "Shipment.PossibleShippingRates." That property simply returns a copy of the list of "ShippingRate" for that particular Shipment.
My UI layer receives a list of "Shipment" objects from the BLL. This list is databound to a datagridview, and shows details relevant to the Shipment such as Shipping Address, etc.
I want to bind the "Shipment.PossibleShippingRates" property to a combobox, such that when the user changes the grid row, the combobox reflects the "PossibleShippingRates" for that "Shipment."
In addition, I need a way to store the "ShippingRate" they selected from the combobox for later use.
I have tried a few ideas, but none of them work properly.
I am working on Combobox in VB.NET08 The Combobox have list of Data.The Combobox Style is DropDown.Assume that i set a list of Countries in the Combobox.I need when i type on the Combobox that corseponding data should be heighlite in the list.Means if i type with "A" letter on the Combobox , shows all countries which statrs with "A". and again if i continue with writing 'A' and write 'U' then corresponding country names should be show in the list like 'Australia', 'Astria'.Here list in the sense not any other control , list means in the dropdown list.
Urgh, I have spent the last couple of hours on this now. I normally end up finding the answer from a bit of Googling, but not with this one. Bit of a headache.
My questions:How can I catch when a user clicks the dropdown arrow on a combobox and prevent the dropdown list from being displayed.How can I then clear and populate the dropdown list and display it programmatically?
I have one agent program remotely connected to a server over the internet. When you click the dropdown arrow on the agent, it queries the server to determine what needs to be in the dropdown list. It then displays the dropdown list. The comboboxes act as filters for the subsequent comboboxes on the GUI. A delay in displaying the dropdown list is perfectly acceptable while retrieving the data. Initially querying all the possibly entries in the dropdown list is not an option because there are so many! Needs to be comboboxes compared to listboxes as the user may also type an entry that is not in the list.
I am using VB.net 2005. I have a DataGridView with several columns. One of the columns is a ComboBox. What I want to happen is when I populate the DataGridView by binding it with the DataTable I want the ComboBox item that is in the DataTable field to be the one that is shown as selected in the drop down. Then if the user wants to change the value they select a different one from the DropDown (and I will perform some update action). My code displays the correct DataTable item in the ComboBox, but the ComboBox will not drop down so a different item can be selected.
This is the code where I set up the ComboBox in the Form_Load and add all the possible items that can be in the DataTable Destination field. c10 = New DataGridViewComboBoxColumn c10.Name = "Destination" c10.DataPropertyName = "Destination" c10.MaxDropDownItems = 5 c10.Items.Add(" ") [Code] .....
For this project I am using Visual Basic in Visual Studio Professional 2008 and SQL 2005 Express.
I have a table in SQL 2005 Express with 4 columns. These are ID, ProductCode,ProductDescription and Price all included in a dataset called ProductsDateSet. The ID column is obviously an integer and the primary key. The ProductCode and Description are both nvarchar(50) and the price is a money column.The table is called Products.
Initially this DataSet is used to enter product information into the database in Form1 but it is also used on a second VB Form (Form2) resembling a sales invoice. [code]...
This is a VB .NET application where we are showing the output of a SQL statement in a Datagrid view. using .NET 2005.We need to get the seperators of the headers on the grid control to be the same colors as the GridColor on the form. See the picture below:We've tried looking through all of the properties of the DataGridView control, and found some interesting things that looked promising such as the DataGridViewAdvancedHeaderStyle, and DataGridViewHeaderBorderStyle, but none of it seems to allow you to change the colors on it.Does anyone know how to do this without remaking the entire thing with a GDI+ control?
I'm trying to rig up a ComboBox with a Datagrid dropdown in WPF. I need the the code to be done programmatically and contained in the codebehind. Here's what I've got so far:
[Code]....
This code produces a ComboBox that contains a DataGrid with two columns and seems to look fine. Although when you click on the ComboBox and select one of the rows in the DataGrid the selection in the ComboBox doesn't work properly. (It just shows the colum headers.) I want the value in the first column of the selected row to appear as the ComboBox selection.
