Hello
I've created a .NET 2.0 form and added 6 text boxes, 1 combo box and 2
button controls.
The combo box has a DropDownStyle of DropDown, so the user can still type in
the combo box.
The combo box has the follows values in it's drop down list:
"Dear Sir,"
"Dear Madam,"
I want the text between "Dear " and "," to be highlighted when the combo box
gets focus.
I've tried adding code into the ComboBox Enter event to try and force it to
select just the text between "Dear " and "," using the SelectionStart and
SelectionLength properties, but it keeps selecting all the text.
How can I just select the text between "Dear " and "," in my ComboBox?
Thank you for your help.

Mark,
Well, could you post a complete example which details the problem? We
could make guesses as to what you are doing, but we might not be anywhere
close.

You've a combobox with Items already added. Say they look like this (or even
lines of text):
10-00-232
10-00-256
10-01-006
10-01-213
10-02-200

For all of you who are searching for auto complete functionality in
..net combobox. I wrote this code yesterday after being unable to find
something usable and workable on the internet. All examples that I've
tried either bulky and simply not elegant and inefficient or does not
work properly. Maybe I was just not lucky and patient enough to try
more examples :) instead I wrote my own code. Hope it helps someone. I
appreciate all comments...

Hi all,
I have a control that extends the ComboBox object. It
updates the selected item based on what the user enters in
the text area.
In the OnLeave event of the combobox, the selected index
is set to the proper item. However, when accessing its
selectedindex later it has reverted to the previous
value. The selectedindex value is always one behind what

I have an inherited comboBox that I'm using to try to make an intellisense type box in VS 2003 .Net.
It works okay in VS.Net 2002. I can get it to do most of my stuff, but it's not keeping the SelectionStart and SelectionLength values I assign in my OnKeyPress event.
Here is a snippet of my code. The Application.DoEvents() funcs are just so I can see what's going on at various spots.

Everyone misses the point on this - what we need is a combobox autocomplete
that is a dropdownlist only. When in dropdown mode, you can enter text -
making that autocomplete is trivial. But when you look at combobox controls
from years ago, they would autocomplete in dropdownlist mode. And if you
look at intellisense, this is exactly what happens, so obviously the .net
framework can do it.
Any help would be much appreciated.

I found some code in Google, don't remember where, for an AutoComplete
combobox. Everything is great with it except for one thing. If I use
the mouse to drop the list down, then start typing to find the item in
the list, the visible text changes, but the values of me.Text and
Mybase.Text do not change. If you use the mouse and actually click on
the item, the values of me.text and Mybase.Text will change. Or, if
you use the enter key to...

Hi,
I have some comboboxes that are created dynamically at run time based
on user actions. I found a procedure on a message board to autofill
the combobox text from the dataview that the comboboxes are bound to.
It works perfectly on the comboboxes that I have created at design
time, but the ones that I create runtime behave differently.
The problem is that when the user tabs onto the combobox, the box
stays blank, which is fine. ...

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:
g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp

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,...
