Adding Items to Combobox

I am using a C# combobox control. There are too many items to add right from
the start, I want to add 20 or so, then when the user cursors down to the
last one and cursors down again, I will add the next 20 so that they can
continue. Is there an event for when the user has reached the end of the list?

The only other was I can think of to handle it would be to capture each time
they pressed the up or down arrow, then see if the value changed, and if not,
add items. Is there not a better way than that? Thanks.

Thanks anyway, I trapped the KeyUp for when they pressed the Down key, and
added more records then, and it worked fine.

I am trying to populate a combobox with a lisy of items. I want the 1st item to be "Make a Selection" and the following items will be names from a table in my DB (See code below). When I run the project, the combox box initially displays an empty selection. When I click on the drop down arrow I see the "Make a Selection" followed by the other choices. How can I move everything up so that the "Make a Selection" is the default value in...

Hi All, When you add an object to a combobox, and run the application, you'll get something like this: System.Windows.Forms.Button, Text: Button1 (for example). Is it possible to have just the text/value in the object to be displayed in

Hi, I have a ComboBox of +- 15.000 items in it, via a DataSource. On Top of the Items-list, I want to add some values, based on a user choise (via a filter on the DataSource). Does anybody know how I can do this? When just adding them with ComboBox.items.Insert I get an "Items collection cannot be modified when the DataSource property is set". Does anybody has a solution for this? i'm surely not the first to do this :-) I'm using...

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 wanted to add a Combobox to a toolbar... Kind of the look you get on VisualStudio's toolbar. I've been able to find some VB 6 samples, but the placeholder option is no longer available for ToolbarButtons... Does anyone know how this could be done? Looking forward to hear from you,

I need a right-click menu on a form list control with combobox controls. I used View->Toolbars->Customize to create a toolbar. I added ComboBox through commands tab. I set properties to Popup making it a shortcut menu. I have no problem linking it to the list control. The menu comes up when I right-click the list control.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
