I have created a combo box with the following properties:
RowSourceType: Value List
RowSource: "0%";"10%";"25% ";"36%";"37 %"
Bound to column: 1
Limit to List = Yes
Default Value = None
Format: Percent
Decimal Places: 0
Column Count: 0
Control Source: Discount field in a table.
When i load the form and select a value from the combo box, only "0%" appears. I am able to view all other percentages, but when i select any one of them, only 0% appears. I have no clue why is this happening.
Now, if i change the Bound to Column property to 0, then i am able to select the value normally. So, if i select 10% from the list, 10% appears in the combo box.
I am ok to set the Bound to column property to 0, but the problem comes when i need to calculate the discounted price. I have a function that takes the value from this combo box and then calculates the price.
When the Bound to column property is set to 0, the compiler takes the position of the value in the list. So if i select 10%, the cmbDiscount.val ue displays 2 and not 10%.
I am getting really frustated and don't know what to do. Does anyone has suggestions??

Did you try:
RowSource: 0;10;25;36;37

You specified an array of string items rather than numbers.
You can see them, but they have no numerical value when you try to process them.

I've got a databound combo (databound to a System.Data.DataTable), but some
rather unpredicatable behaviour -- even though I have 8 rows in the source
table, only the first 6 are showing up in the items collection.
I've been scratching my head over this for a while now, but can't fathom
what could be to blame for this oddity.
Has anyone seen this behaviour before, or can think of any possible causes?

I have some very strange issues with combo boxes on a tab control.
Here's the scenario: I have a Windows Forms form that has a tab control
on it, with two (2) tabs. Tab 2 happens to have a number of text and
combo boxes on it (in panels on the tab). These combos were originally
simple drop down lists - i.e. you had to select from the list and
couldn't enter anything of your own. At that time everything worked
fine.
Now, the users...

First of all I would like to take the time to thank you all for your efforts and time spent at this wonderful forum. I have found it very helpful with numerous examples available for every level of user.

I have two tables. Order and Order_Details. The master form is based on the Orders tables and the details form (subform) is based on the...

Hi!
I have inherited a continuous form whose detail area contains two combo boxes.
The rowsource of the 2nd combo depends on the selection made in the 1st, and is rebuilt in the GotFocus event of the 2nd combo.
This all works OK, BUT.....
When I click into the 2nd combo, the contents of the 2nd combo of all existing rows on screen disappear, until I click somewhere else on the form, at which point, all "missing" data reappears.

Hi all
One of my users is complaining that when she types in a combo box, instead of matching characters and over-typing, she seems to be inserting e.g.
On entering the combo she types her first character "a" and the box then displays the first matching item in normal way ="Aluminium Bronze". The RowSource is based on a query.
However, she wants to enter "Aluminium Profiles", so as she is a very fast 'typer' she rapidly types "Aluminium...

I have an unbound combo box in the form header. I have used an input
mask "CCCC" 40 times to limit the max number of characters to 40.
When I tab into the combo box & press a character say "K" for example,
the entire first match gets filled in the combo box and the cursor
goes to the last character of the combo box. So I can't effectively
search for a "KI" until I backspace the entire entry which has got
filled in.
Once i remove the...

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...

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,...
