multicolumn combo box ?

283 Contributor
I am porting something from access to c# and the access project has a multicolumn combo box which c# does not seem to have, I have found a few things with google but either they do not seem to be very good or there is another issue.

also I am linking the combobox to a dataset so it would be best if I can find something that works well with a dataset for it's datasource, also if it has autocomplete built in that would be a help

thanks

The short answer is you are correct, .Net does not have a multi-column combobox (Why? I don't know, they are super usefull)
The only thing I can recomend is looking for unmanaged DLLs or how to do it using Win32_API and making a wrapper class for yourself.

Hi, I wanted to know if there is someway I could create a combo-box that could display more than one columns to display. Like a combobox that could have the "emp-id" as the value column and "emp-name", "designation", ... as the display columns.

I would like to try to make a combo box have multiple columns. Does anyone know of a good way to attempt this? I saw a project on thecodeproject to do this, I just didn't like the way it looked. I want it to look almost like a datagrid with column lines in it to seperate the columns.. And, I would like to make it bigger than what the combo control itself is... Example.. They click the down button on the combo box, and it opens the drop...

In Microsoft Access form, combo box can be binded to the table or query and can be shown as multi column, getting a actual binded column and showing columns. I'm struggling to make a multi-column combo box now but in vain. The combo box in VC.NET seems not having multi-colmn property. Is it true? If I can't use combo box as a multi column container, how can I show the information like Select your name :

Hey guys and gals, I'm not sure if this is the simplest way to do this or if someone can throw any other ideas out there. I'm looking to build a treeview inside a listbox...or have a multicolumn treeview. Having done some research it seems there was some rather extensive and laborious methods for achieving such an effect in VB6 but none of them satisfactory and the only method I can find that looks anywhere near like it might possibly be...

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,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
