Adding "new" or "other" to a query populated dropdown list?

Hi All,

My apologies for asking something that I'm sure has been answered
for. But, my google searching can't find a proper set of keywords.

I would like to add "New..." or "other..." or "Show All" to my combo
boxes.

I'm tired of having to put buttons beside them for "special options".

Current case: I've got a regular old dropdown combo box that I'm
populating with all of the available dates in a table that has many
dates. That's easy.

But, I don't know how to insert the string "New...".

Only option I've dreamed up is a Union query where I have a fake
"options" seeding table that has one row with the word "New..." typed
in. There's gotta be an easier way, right?

(I'm of course going to script a bunch of shenanigans off of the
"after update" when it equals "New...".)

TIA,

Jon

For a class, MyClass, there are two ways to instantiate an object: 1. MyClass *MC = new MyClass(); 2. MyClass MC; In general, when should you have to use 1 and when 2? What're advantages/disadvantages of using either? Thanks!

I'm fairly new to working with ASP web controls, and am running into what seems to be a ridiculous problem that I'm hoping will be a breeze for an experienced ASP developer.

I have the Select link enabled on my GridView, and I use the SelectedIndexChanged event to hide...

I'm just learning C#. I'm writing a program (using Visual C# 2005 on WinXP) to combine several files into one (HKSplit is a popular freeware program that does this, but it requires all input and output to be within one directory, and I want to be able to combine files from different directories into another directory of my choice). My program seems to work fine, but I'm wondering about this loop: for (int i = 0; i < numFiles; i++)

I followed a link to James Kanze's web site in another thread and was surprised to read this comment by a link to a GC: "I can't imagine writing C++ without it" How many of you c.l.c++'ers use one, and in what percentage of your projects is one used? I have never used one in personal or professional C++ programming. Am I a holdover to days gone by?

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,...
