Bug with ComboBox in usercontrol

My problem is: I have comboboxes which resides in a usercontrol.

Always when the usercontrol changes its visible status (the dialog is shown
or you switch to the tabpage where the usercontrol is), all text is selected
in the textfield of the combobox.

Is this a Bug? If yes, is there a workaround?

Hi codymanix,
AFAIK single line edit box (combobox uses such a control)selects the text
upon receiving the focus.

The problem is, in that usercontrol there are many comboboxes and they are
*all* marked as selected (text has blue selected background). And none of
them has the focus, neither has the usercontrol. The real focus has another,
unrelated control in the window.

I can only unselect the text of the comboboxes when I click in them and then
click out. But when I switch to another tabpage and switch back they are
selected again.

I *would* call that a Bug!

No

Why not? Is is supposed to be that if I open the dialog, *all* comboboxes in
the usercontrols has their text selected, and even if I unselect the text,
when I switch the tabpage back and forth, they are selected again!

Hello I want to create a set of controls that have some common methods and properties. I was thinking that I should subclass the UserControl class and add these common features there and then base all my custom controls on this new MyUserControl Class. Is this the way to go?

My user control has a combobox with an arraylist attached to it along with custom add and remove methods. The "Add" method is working great. However I don't understand why the "Remove" method isn't working. It neither removes the item from the arraylist nor from the combobox like it's supposed to do. A couple of notes: cbx is the name of the combobox within my usercontrol, file is the name of the arraylist within my usercontrol. To try...

Hi, I have a UserControl containing some controls of which one is a ComboBox. All the InternalControls are Private and some are allowed to be accessed through Public Methods. One of the things I would like to do (of course) is set the DataBindings. Something clearly is wrong with the approach I use, because I can't set the Properties in the Designer, the DataSource-Property appears like 'ReadOnly', there is no "dropdown" with the list from...

Hi everyone ! For those who haven't read my previous post, I have a problem with a UserControl. When I try to display it on a form, controls seem to appear one after one. In the following example, it's less visible because controls don't execute any code... Is someone has an idea of how I could solve this problem and also improve the method ShowUserControl. I try to figure out I could flicker effect when I press the button twice quickly.

I've come across an interesting bug. I have workarounds but i'd like to know the root of the problem. I've stripped it down into a short file and hope someone might have an idea about what's going on. It's a simple program that loads a control onto a form and binds "Foo" against a combobox ("SelectedItem") for it's "Bar" property and a datetimepicker ("Value") for it's "DateTime" property. The DateTimePicker.Visible value is set to...

This is the 2nd time posting so sorry for duplications. I am using VB.NT 2005 & a standard Combobox.
