How can I get a listbox to display the most closely matched items when user
types in the first few letters/digits of displaymember value?

Thanks a million

Take a look at the control's 'FindString' method and its 'SelectedIndex'

Hi: I know this is a strange question, but I have inherited a system where files are copied and records re auto numbered (as an index field) )frequently, and I am wondering how high the number can go without the system crashing. An ancillary question is how one resets an auto number so that the sequence starts again at 1. In the case of this file, the auto number field serves no useful purpose except as an

The Culture="auto" UICulture="auto" is a great idea, but how do you handle the situaion where SQL Server always requires a dot "." in numeric values. If I use Culture="auto"so that dates and numbers are formatted depending on the browser settings I will encounter situations where values come in as for example "52,50" using a comma instead of a dot. I could go over the whole site and make sure I replace any commas with dots before...

Hi, I'm putting together a little database of individuals categorized by family. I have two lists, one that contains family names and one that contains individuals' names. When you click on a link in the first list, it generates from a mysql database all the people associated with that family. When you click on an individual's name, it displays biographical information. The catch is, for space, I've put these lists in little boxes...

I was having this problem: http://groups.google.com/group/microsoft.public.sqlserver.server/msg/e36e423972323378?dmode=source with it taking an inordinate amount of time to enumerate the databases on my local SQL Server instance, so I went through all the local databases and unchecked "Auto Close" on the "Options" tab of the Database properties in Enterprise Manager. This cleared up the problem nicely. In EM or through SQL-DMO, the...

I currently get asked about my usage of "auto". What is it for? The keyword is clearly superflous here. In contrast to the huge majority of C/C++ developers I write definitions very explicitly like that: int main(char argc, char *argv, char *env) { try { auto Exception mainException(1); mainException.setErrNo(42);

Hi, I've encountered a strange problem with Firefox which I don't have any idea how to resolve. To the point: I've <divelement with a style "height: auto" and I want to retrieve this value ("auto") in JavaScript - however instead of getting "auto" value, I get calculated height. In IE and Opera it simply returns "auto". Any ideas how to check in Firefox if element height was set to "auto" ? I'll be grateful for any help.

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. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

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,...

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.
