How to force a Pmw ComboBox to update list

Hi all,

I have an application that uses a Pmw ComboBox to display a list that
is dynamic. The user has the ability to add and delete items from the
list at different points in the program.

However, once the list is updated it needs to automatically refresh
the ComboBox to reflect the updated list. The only way I have been
able to solve the problem so far is to redraw the window (by
withdrawing the window and calling the function that creates the
window again). I tried to do a 'configure' on the ComboBox, but
couldn't get it to work because the list itself was an initialization
even. However, I could have been doing that wrong.

Is there any way to force the ComboBox to update the list or redraw
itself with the new list?

Thanks ahead of time,
Marc

I have a combobox that is very much like the one found in the RSS project here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/visualCSharp/learning/ My projectNameComboBox basically is filled with a list of values from a table, and as the user selects values, a datagrid displays related records from another table because it is bound via FK relationship.

I am having an issue with graphical corruption upon re-selecting a combobox which upon 'selected index change' event should list file names in that folder in a separate combobox. Here is the code: private void comboBox2_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e) { IniFile INI = new IniFile(@"c:\\data\TM.ini"); string MisFileDir = INI.IniReadValue("Main", "MisFileDir");

Can I use a bound ComboBox for both browsing and editing? I'm working on a small, standalone database application using Visual C#.NET 2003 and an Access data file. In order to keep the number of different screens down to a minimum, I'm trying to use the same Windows Forms for both browsing and for updating. This works fine for TextBoxes, but I'm running into problems with my DropDownLists (ComboBoxes).

I'm using a ComboBox to display objects of a class I've defined, say CQQ. Works great except somehow I occasionally set an Item to a String object instead of an object of type CQQ. It looks like Text replaces an item or something like that. This results in a runtime error at which time I learn that the item that should be CQQ is a String.

I've got a combobox where the SelectedValue property is bound to a class property by a code like this: MyComboBox.DataBindings.Add("SelectedValue", MyClass , "MyID"); My problem is that the MyClass.MyID property gets updated when the focus leaves the combobox - not when you actually select a new item from the drdop down list. I would have expected this code to solve the problem, but it didn't:

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.

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,...
