Hi, I have a comboBox set to also be editable. If I have code that is
something like:
cmbBox.Text = "Hello";
MessageBox.Show (cmbBox.Text);
The MessageBox will display just an empty string. I cannot figure this out.
The text "Hello" will be displayed in the combobox but it doesn't seem to
store the text. If I edit the box at runtime then it does store it correctly.
This is very important. It is the last bug I need to fix in my Project to
graduate, in which I am working with the Rolla Police Department. Thanks.

Hi Tony,
I am unable to reproduce your bug, and for me the MessageBox will display "Hello".
Can you show us a small but complete code sample demonstrating the problem?

Let me give more information first. As to getting a small code demonstration
that might be difficult as this is a very large program.
The ComboBox is bound to a DataTable which is what I believe is causing the
problem. I want the user to be able to select from the list or type in their
own copy and this part works.
When the program reads from the Database and does something similar to
cmbBox.Text = temp.ToString() where temp is a value from the database which
is not a member of the list, then it doesn't seem to accept it. If the user
say then retypes the same thing it will.
Hopefully that clears it up a little.

I was able to get it to work. It seems that when the comboBox is bound to a
datasource, cmbBox.Text="te xt" will only work if "text" is one of the options
from the datasource. It will put "text" in the box, but doesn't save it in
the Text Property.
So what I had to do was add a new row to the DataView which was bound to the
ComboBox which had the same text that I read from the database. This was only
temporary and wasn't saved back to the database.
Thanks for the help.

Hi,
I already post this item but now I know whats wrong: I want to allow the
user to edit the items in a combobox. The problem is that the textchange
event works just one time (for the first changed letter) because he reset
the selectedindex of the combobox to -1. In debug mode I can't see where he
does this. How can I solve this?

Hello - this started out as a minor annoyance - and now is
starting to bother me more and more - I'm hoping someone
can help me.
I would like to have a combobox display - NOT initially be
blank - but contain a value. However the value is just
for user reference - not really one of the combobox
choices. For example intially the combobox should equal
the word Select - and the item values can be
say 'one', 'two', and 'three'.

I've seen this problem discussed a jillion times but I cannot seem to

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

This works fine. My combobox contains the correct data.
