I'm observing some strange behavior when I use a bound combo box in conjunction with
the combo's anchor property. I define a form which contains just a textbox and a
combo box. The text box is placed before the combo in taborder, and is there only so
the focus will go someplace other than the combo box when the form is displayed.
In the form load event, I have the following code to create an arraylist and bind the
combo to it:
Dim a As ArrayList = New ArrayList
For i As Integer = 1 To 20
a.Add("Test Line " & i)
Next
ComboBox1.DataS ource = a
When the form is displayed, the first item in the combo box's list is displayed in
the combo's associated textbox. If you set the combo's anchor property to any other
value than "Top, Left", the combo's text is displayed and also selected, even though
the combo does not have the focus.
If I load the combo "by hand", manually adding the above strings to the combo's Items
collection, no item is selected when the form is displayed, regardless of the anchor
property.
Anybody have any idea why the combo would choose to select text with any anchor value
other than "top, left" but not select it if it is "top, left"? Ad what does the
anchor property have to do with this, anyway?
I realize I can set the combo's SelectedIndex value to -1 after setting the
datasource, but I believe the behavior I am observing is inconsistent. Is this a bug
or is there something I don't understand?

Hi Jeff,
Most of us stopped looking at strange behaviour in the initialization fase
of the combobox.
However preventing the selectedindexch ange to start, with a bool/switch/flag
which you set to true at the end of your load, will mostly overcome most
problems (not all).
I hope it helps anyway?

I am trying to create a form using databinding to a dataset and one of the
fields requires the user to select from a list of optons. Any hints on how
to do this other than bind the field to a label or text box to display the
current field value then add a combo box with the list of items to chose from?

Hi,
I'm trying to master databinding but I feel like I'm doing it all
wrong. I have a combo which allows me to select a test. I also have
the ability to add a test which should result in its addition to the

Here is my code with the three important functions. The first is when
the user creates a new Test. The second updates the combo and is also
called to init it when the program starts. The last function is

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
