Access combobox not displaying updated list

2 New Member
Access2000

Hi I have a combobox which displays a list of values dependent on another field.

On the fields onchange event the rowsource of the combobox changes according to the value in the field.

The problem I have is the combo box displays the last value selected, the list it contains is updated but until the combobox is selected it displays the last value. This is very confusing to the users. Suggestions please.

Even a nice easy way to force the combobox to be blank would do fine.

The combobox is going to display according to it's last rowsource until it's requeried. This needs to be done after the rowsource changes.

Try putting this in the Forms on current event:
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. Private Sub Form_Current()
  2.  
  3.    Me!ComboboxName = Null
  4.  
  5. End Sub
  6.

Hi all, I have an application that uses a Pmw ComboBox to display a list that is dynamic. The user has the ability to add and delete items from the list at different points in the program. However, once the list is updated it needs to automatically refresh the ComboBox to reflect the updated list. The only way I have been able to solve the problem so far is to redraw the window (by withdrawing the window and calling the function that...

I recently noticed that my dev machine is not displaying things properly. I'm adding items to a combobox that do not display on screen. I can see that the list expands when I click dropdown but nothing displays in the list. If I select something, the text box portion gets updated with the value from the list. I notice similiar behavior on a msgbox - no text displays. I believe my machine was recently updated to framework 1.1 sp1.

I'm using a ComboBox to display objects of a class I've defined, say CQQ. Works great except somehow I occasionally set an Item to a String object instead of an object of type CQQ. It looks like Text replaces an item or something like that. This results in a runtime error at which time I learn that the item that should be CQQ is a String.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
