I have a table that has a field called FinancialType. It has two possible
values, F and S, which stand for Financial and Statistical, respectively.
What I want is a ComboBox that has two drop down choices, Financial and
Statistical, each of which are bound to the values of F and S in my table.
I must be missing something really easy, because I can't figure out how to
get this to work.
This was so easy in Delphi...
TIA,

Hi Mike,
There might be better ways, but if you have a ComboBox with F and S from a
bound table, you could set DrawMode to one of the ownerdrawn ones and
paint (drawstring) Financial and Statistical in the DrawItem event (PS!
set DropDownStyle to list to ensure you also get to draw the EditBox item).
There is also the ValueMember and DisplayMember (See the sample in
ListControl.Dis playMember), but that assumes you have a field with
Financial and Statistical as well as F and S.

Happy Coding!

I've been seeking the solution to this. But can't figure it out (sounds
simple enough).
When you Populat a ComboBox, you can select the initial displayed items on
startup simply by setting the TEXT to a valide item in the Combobox.
What I want to do is to select the initial listed item to an item based upon a
varrying veriable.
For example, the combobox is populated with a list of Users.

I have another question for the community, and hopefully it's an easy
one. It seems ridiculously simple, but I can't find anything on it.
I have a combo box that is bound to a table. When a form is opened, I'd
like the current value of said combo box to be dictated by a value given
by the previous form. For the life of me, I can't figure out how to use
code to set the current value of a combo box. Here is the simple code,

Hi All,
I am trying to change the rowsource of a combobox when I click on it. I
played with many events, associated with the form and the combobox, but
still haven't figured out what is the way of doing it.
I have a table with products, tblProducts, some of them are Active while
others are Inactive.
The form shows all the products purchased by a customer, both Active and
Inactive in a ComboBox, cbProducts.

Hi All,
I am trying to develop an application for a touch screen using buttons
for the numeric pad with Completion ComboBoxes.
At the moment I am having a problem sending the button presses to my
Completion ComboBox using sendkey.wait. From the keyboard (that will
not exist for my final application) I can enter text into my
Completion and the selection completes as expected.

Hi,
I am dynamically creating Comboboxes and putting them in a panel.
However, they are all referencing the same object! When I change one,
then all of them change. How can I make it so it doesn't do this? I'm
sure this is pretty simple, just can't find the answer. Thanks.
for (int i=0; i < _ds.Tables.Columns.Count; i++) {
ComboBox x = new ComboBox();
x.Name = "col" + i.ToString();

How do I implement the value equivalent of the ComboBox.FindStringExact
method?
I.e. How do I set the ComboBox.SelectedIndex so that the
ComboBox.SelectedValue object matches one that I specify.
Thanks in advance for any help,

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
Northwind database for a representative...

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,...
