Hi,
Before with comboboxes you could either select something from the lsit or
you could type in a different value (one that is *not* in the list) to use.
I have a combobox of cities and sometimes the city names are not in my
zipcode table.
So I need to be able to type in a city name other than what is in my zipcode
table and be able to save it.
Everytime, I try this with VB.NET Form Control Combobox. When I move to the
next record it will select a value in the lsit to save and save it.
*Discarding* the city name I actually typed.
How do I get the combobox to act the old way. That is allowing a person to
either select from the dropdown list or to type in something different?
Many thanks!

Are you trying to save the new city name in the combo box's items collection
or somewhere else?
Have you tried saving what was typed (the Text property) and either putting
it into the combo box's Items collection or saving it in a variable using,
as a possible candidate, the LostFocus event procedure?

Hi Peter,
Thanks for replying... I figured out what I did wrong...
I had binded to a dataset and when doing so I binded the .SelectText value
for the saving value.
Inorder to get it to work I binded the .Text value of the combobox to the
dataset and it fixed my problem... Atleast I think... I haven't fully tested
it yet...
Many Thanks,
Angela

The scenario is that of the employees table wherein there's an EmployeeId
and a ReportsTo field in the same table. The combobox is one in a datagrid
view that lets you select an employee from the employees table to fill in
the reportsto field, but since a person can't report to himself. I'm
wondering how to exclude the EmployeeId of the selected record from the
dropdown list of the combox. Ideally I think it would be to apply a filter

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,...
