Combobox list format

I am trying to format the strings in a combobox dropdown list into columns.
I can use a fixed font like Courier New and make it work, but I would like
to use the SetTabStops method of the StringFormat class so the list can be
displayed with the original combobox font.

I've tried a number of approaches without success. Is there a method for
doing this?

Thanks for your help.

I want to set the Default value of a Combobox for any changeable record and have got this working but it is totaly unsatisfactory see the code below I loop through the items in the Combo looking for a match between cVal and the selectedValue then stop when I do have a match the obvious problem is that each iteration fires the selectedIndexChanged but also for a large list this will slow everything down. There must be a better way int...

This is a repost of an item that I still cannot resolve. I have 3 combo boxes. The first leads to the second to the third. When I have selected a value in the second box, the third box shows the available information based on the second combo box selection. But if I change my mind and select a different item in the second box, after the third box has been populated, the third box still retains the information that was previously...

Hello Everyone, I would like to format the Display Members of a combobox's datasource. Is there a way to apply a format without subclassing the original datasource? For example, given a list of decimal values, format them as currency values with a leading currency symbol and 2 decimal places. TIA Class Test

I'm not entirely sure how to describe this issue. I have a number of ComboBoxes in my application which have their text properties bound to a field in a data set. The items loaded in the ComboBox are not data bound (they just use the built in collection property of the ComboBox), and they are all set to use the DropDownList style. When moving from record to record via a BindingNavigator or a DataGridView (in master/detail format), the text...

I'm baffled by this -- is there not a typed object used for ComboBox Items? Best I can tell, all of the methods for ComboBox that accept an Item are of type Object. Why in the world is a common/standard .NET control accepting an Object as a parameter type? In Web Forms, there is a ListItem object that can be passed in to add/retrieve objects from a DropDownItems collection. I searched Google groups, and all the solutions I'm finding...

I have a combobox whose rowsource is a union query. This query displays a person's name in "lastname, firstname" format and in "firstname lastname" format.

I can't figure out how to refresh the combobox to display the new person. I get the standard error message that the

Overview: 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,...
