Help with listbox displaymember.. .

frank

Hello All,
I know this is a re-post, but I didn't get any bites on my last post. So here goes again:

I have a listbox which is bound to a datatable. I have set the displaymember and valuemember and all works well:
the user dbl clicks an item in the list box, I use the valuemember to retrieve some values from the db. However, I would like
a label to display the displaymember value that was selected by the user. I am assuming this is a datarow(?).
How does one do this? Below is my code for populating the listbox:
Dim dtChgDept As New DataTable
daChgDept.Fill( dtChgDept)
lstChgDept.Valu eMember = "dept_id"
lstChgDept.Disp layMember = "dept_name"
lstChgDept.Data Source = dtChgDept
How can I display the text value of the displaymember "dept_name" on a label??

Thanks in advance!

Frankie

Frankie,

The listbox's Text property should contain the displaymember of the selected
item.

So just assign the listbox's Text property to the label's Text property.

populate a listbox with a hashtable

by: Dave | last post by:

Hi all, Is it possible to populate a listbox from a hashtable (complexbind) where the ValueMember of the listbox maps to the "key" member of the hashtable AND the DisplayMember of the listbox maps to the "value" member of the hashtable? I found that it is impossible to use a hashtable as a listbox datasource directly (from trial and error) and tried DirectCast-ing to an arraylist without any success. Before I spend anymore time in vain...

3rd party dual listbox control

by: Dave | last post by:

Hi all, After unsuccessfully trying to make my own dual listbox control out of arraylists, I decided to look for a 3rd party control. I've looked for over a week now and can't find anything but ASP.Net stuff when I need a Windows Form control. I've seen dual listbox populators in countless Windows applications, and have seen them run very fast, so I figured this would be extremely popular. Here's how it should work:

The easy way to turn off automatic updates for Windows 10/11

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,...
