Hi,
I thought that this would be a simple exercise but I am struggling to get a
result.
I need a listbox that will display a list of items from a DataTable,
dtUnits. The displayed list comes from Column [UnitsProdDescn]. Selecting an
item in this list needs to return a value from Column [UnitsConvn].
Data in dtUnits is
UnitsProdDescn UnitsConvn
Carton 3.2
Case*** 0
So in the Form Load Sub I have:
_______________ _______________ _______________
stDefaultUnits= "Carton"
dblUnitsConv = 1.0
With ListProdUnits
.DataSource = dtUnits
.DisplayMember = "UnitsProdDescn "
.ValueMember = "UnitsConvn "
.SelectedValue = stDefaultUnit
End With
_______________ _______________ _______
And in the ListProdUnits_S electedValueCha nged Event, I have:
_______________ _______________ _______________ _______________ ___
Dim dblVal as Double = Val(ListProdUni ts.SelectedValu e.ToString)
If dblVal > 0 then
dblUnitsConv = dblVal
LabelProdUnits. Text = ListProdUnits.S electedItem.ToS tring
End If
_______________ _______________ _______________ ___________
The variable dblUnitsConv is being set correctly to 3.2 but
LabelProdUnits. Text
shows "System.Data.Da taRowView" instead of "Carton"
Also the list shows Case*** as the selected row which should be Carton.
Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong?

Doug,
Mostly are this kind of errors by a misspelling of the datacolumnname
Are you sure that this is right,
..ValueMember = "UnitsConvn "
(It has real to be case sensitive right).
Not that it can be the error, however why don't you use not as normally the
selected index change event?
I hope this helps.

stDefaultUnit ( "Carton" ) is displaytext not a value, so you can't assign
that to SelectedValue. You can assign it to the .Text property which will
find and select the item with that text:
ListProdUnits.T ext = stDefaultUnit

If the ListBox is databound then SelectedItem returns the current
DataRowView, you can get your text from it using the colname:
LabelProdUnits. Text = ListProdUnits.S electedItem("Un itsProdDescn")
You can also use ListBox.Text since it returns the displaytext of the first
selected item:
LabelProdUnits. Text = ListProdUnits.T ext
--- Or you can databind the label the same way as the listbox, then it will
show the text of the selected item without the need to handle any events:
LabelProdUnits. DataBindings.Ad d( "Text", dtUnits, "UnitsProdDescn " )

Cor,
Thanks, the name is spelt correctly. When I misspell it (eg wrong case), I
get a different error I get a different error, to do with the member not
being able to be set.
Are you indicating that the coding method looks correct?

Hi Bart,
Thank you.
Setting the ListBox.Text value solved one problem
and setting the TextBox.Text = ListBox.Text solved the other.
I was surprised that the Text property is not displayed in the intelisense
list.
