Hello again my friends,
My question is :
In a Combo - Box , based on a table with duplicate values.
How can I define the Combo -Box so she will show one example for each
value .
For example :
Internet site name , Subject of the internet site
A Technical
B Technical
C General
D General
E Fun
F Fun
The combo box will show : Technical, General, Fun.
I tried to go to the Query behind the ComboBox at to do A Group By
action,
But because the ComboBox required two fields : The primary key and the
subject field ,
It didn't work.
Please help me,
Ego

Use SELECT DISTINCT in your query. "Is Not Null" might be useful too.

Group By sounds like a good idea, but if the combobox really requires two
fields what should the matching entry be for 'Fun'? 'E' or 'F'?
If the combobox doesn't need two columns, then change the column count to
one and use the Group By solution.

Sorry, just re-read your post and this won't work on the example you gave.
Hi Keith,

Hi Justin,
The Combobox does need two fields.
Thanks,
Ego
Hi Keith,
No Problem
Thank you for helping me
Thanks :)

....so what should the matching entry be for 'Fun'? 'E', 'F' or don't you
care?
If you don't care, use the sql below:
SELECT First(SiteSubje ct) AS Subject, SiteName AS Site
FROM MyTable
GROUP BY SiteName
Alternatively, replace First with Last or Max or Min and see which one takes
your fancy.
Hi Justin
I got a few error messages.
I will try to describe exactly what I am doing :
1. I have a Table named: TabInternetSite List
2. The Table has Three fields:
A. InternetSiteId (Primary Key)
B. Internet Address (Hyper Link).
C. Subject (Text)
3. I created a Form based on this table.
4. Than I add a ComboBox and chose option number 3:
"Find a record on my form based on the value I selected in my
ComboBox"
The Combobox is based on the Subject Field.
So I have Internet sites with the same subject .
My ComboBox is looking like this :
Map
Map
General
Technical
Software
Software
The Query behind the ComboBox is a combination of:
InternetSiteId Field and the Subject field.
If I will try to erase the InternetSiteId Field I will not see
anything in the ComboBox
Thanks,
Ego

You followed the wizard and selected "Find a record on my form based on the
value I selected in my ComboBox", but this doesn't sound like this is what
you wish it to do. This option is used where you have, say SiteID and
SiteName. You select the site you are looking for from the dropdown list
and you are taken to that record. It would not make sense to do that in
your case, because the dropdown list you are talking about will not identify
a site uniquely.
At a guess, you are trying is get a unique list of subjects so you can
select a subject for each type - and the best way to do this is to have a
separate table. However, as a lazy alternative you could create the list
based on existing types. Set the ControlSource to subject, the
RowSourceType to 'Table/Query', the RowSource to
SELECT First(SiteSubje ct) AS Subject, SiteName AS Site
FROM MyTable
GROUP BY SiteName
Set the column count to 1 and the column widths to 6cm (or whatever) This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics | |

I've looked high and low for some code that will allow me to have a combobox
with a flat borderstyle. I found a few examples, but nothing that was
really usable for me. I had the following criteria that I wanted to meet,
but nothing did:
- No reliance on a separate library
- No unmanaged code
- Easy subclassing of System.Windows.Forms.Combobox (i.e. no custom control
monstrosity)
- No extra funky features that I didn't need

Hi-
I've seen this problem discussed a jillion times but I cannot seem to
implement any advice that makes it work. I am porting a large project from
VB6 to .NET. The issue is using the combo box bound to a table as a lookup,
drawing values from another table to populate the available selections. This
all worked fine in VB6.
I have distilled the problem down to a simple form drawing data from the

Ciao a tutti,
leggendo qua e là per il forum ho scoperto che non sono l'unico ad
avere questo problema.
Se si inserisce un controllo ComboBox in un form di C#, non è
possibile impostare la sua altezza ad un valore diverso da 21. Forse,
cambiando la dimensione del font, si potrebbe riuscire a cambiare anche
l'impostazione dell'altezza... (MS farebbe comunque meglio ad
introdurre per il ComboBox una proprietà AutoSize impostabile a
"false"...
