problems with events for dynamically created comboboxes

2 New Member
Hello

I am using VS 2005 with .net 2 with C#. I have a form with a panel in which I am dynamically creating combo boxes. They are all using the same data source.The reason they are dynamically created is because the program does not how many are required. When I change the selected index for any one of the comboboxes they all change to the same selected index. Any ideas ??. I have tried creating the event as a delegete inside the method which creates the control like this:

private void CreateComboBox( vars...)
{
//code to create control
cbxSource.Selec tedIndexChanged += delegate
{
//code run by event
}
}

and I have tried creating the event outside the method as

private void CreateComboBox( vars...)
{
//code to create control
cbxSource.Selec tedIndexChanged += new EventHandler(cb xSource_Selecte dIndexChanged);
}


void cbxSource_Selec tedIndexChanged (object sender, EventArgs e)
{
//code to be run
}

Can anyone please help ??

They all trigger the same event hence all display the same selectedindex. One to prevent this may be use code to identify that control and only change that one.

Thanks for your response. I thought that might be the case. I setup a group of comboboxes in an array and initialized them on Form_Load. As I needed them I set their attributes and created their own SelectedIndexCh anged event. I also created a tool tip for each one so I could see during run time that each combobox was a different control. The events for each combobox are still tied together even though there is a seperate event for each control

Then I assume the solution is to use the array to indentify which selectedindex to change. HTH.

I have a drop-down list, a radio button list and a submit button. I'm adding these controls to a table and I'm adding the table to a Placeholder.

Before the form control table is added to the Placeholder, I'm adding a whole bunch of tables to the Placeholder. This is a flowchart program and I have multiple action boxes...

I have a page that generates a grid of controls; at the end of each row is an update button that is dynamically created with an associated click event. The grid changes based on the date selected in the calendar control and I populate this grid of controls by calling a routine in the page load event. My dilemma is that the page load event executes before my grid control event during a postback, thus the date that the grid references does...

Hi there, Just curious as to whether there's a clever way to see the events a control/object is firing off, perhaps written out to the debug console. It would be really handy to know which events a control is firing when I perform a certain action, and the order in which they are occurring. Thanks, Erik

Hello All, I am trying to raise enter events for a combobox control that I am building dynamically at run time. A user enters a number in a textbox and that many comboboxes are created. I then need to populate them with a database query, but can seem to find a way to get any more than the last control to respond. I have them being named differently, but only the base name shows for events. Below is my code... Dim WithEvents...

I am trying to add an event listener to the keyup event for some text inputs that I am creating dynamically. I have no problems getting it to work in Firefox, but IE just ignores them. I have created a few functions to aid in making this process work semi-cross-browser. (I develop in FF, but everyone who uses it will be using IE6.) function attachEvent(_obj, _evt, _fnc) { _evt = _evt.toLowerCase(); if (_obj.attachEvent) {

I have LinkButtons that are dynamically created in one of the PostBack events. They must be created in the PostBack event because one of the variables required to determine which ones to create comes from the event arguments. Because the LinkButtons are not created in the Init event, they will not exist when I click them to perform a postback. How do I handle the events for these LinkButtons? I appreciate any help you can give. Thanks. --...

Hi, I am creating an application which dynamically creates forms depending on the information held in a dataset (which also includes the data the application itself uses).

Setting the datasource to the bindinglist seems to be ok, but I am having...
