Adding combo box to an existing form

19 New Member
Hello all,

I'm having an issue adding more combo box to an existing form, please correct me if I'm wrong in my method but i'm copying the combo box above and pasting it below so to have the same format as the others and to minimize my efforts. The form has a subform so i'm creating the same for that form also but after all is said and done it doen not display on the main form. What am I doing wrong.

It's not behind another control is it? What about the code and/or macros? Maybe one of them is changing the settings. Either its position or its visibility.

If by this you mean that you're copying a combobox from the Header section of your form (above) and pasting it into the Detail section of your form (below) you have to be sure and do two things.

After selecting and copying the combobox, click on the Detail section.

Click on Paste to place it on the Detail Section.

At this point the combobox is not visible! I think this is where you're at.

Now, holding down the <Control> key use the <Down Arrow> key to bring the combobox into view. It should first become visible in the top left hand portion of the Detail section.

I first noticed this peculiarity a number of years ago when I first dabbling in the black arts of Access!

Not necessaryly the header section but within the same form, precisely the combobox above.

Hi, I am new to .Net. I am using a Combo Box in my windows forms. I am adding the items by creating the instances and adding the same to the list. My questions/doubts are: 1. If I have 25 to 30 options in each combo box and like that if we have 6 or 7 combo boxes in a form, isnt it a problem in creating that number of instances everytime the form is opened/activated 2. How do I dispose the Combo Box items.

I have a simple form with a combo box on top and then when a record is chosen the remaining 3 fields from the table on the form. My problem is that if I open the form on its own, all is fine. I see the record I wanted and when I change the record in the drop-down, the data fields that go with that record are displayed. HOWEVER, when I open the form as the result of the user double-clicking a record from the main form's list box, that...

I'd be very grateful if anyone could help me with this. From my limited knowledge of Javascript I don't think it is possible, but I'll punt anyway. I downloaded and very slightly adapted this guy's Javascript "combo box" - http://sandy.mcarthur.org/javascript/select/select.html. It allows my users (when I get some!) to select from a list of preexisting options and also to add a new one by clicking on "add new". Essentially it's a select...
