I have a need to have a combo box that just has Yes & No as it options.
This will be used everywhere in the application, so I thought I would
make a control that inherits from combobox. I am having trouble
figuring out how to add the Y/N in control. I tried:
Public Class YesNoCombobox
Inherits ComboBox
Sub New()
MyBase.New()
If Me.Items.Count = 0 Then
Me.Items.Add("N - No")
Me.Items.Add("Y - Yes")
End If
End Sub
End Class
This doubles the N/Y because the designer places a N/Y in the designer
code as well. Anyone have thoughts on how to do this?

Hello Chris,
All this talk of checkboxes.. For purely Yes/No selections (for which Yes
is mutually exclusive of No) radiobuttons are the correct control. If the
user can select both Yes and No, then three radiobuttons (Yes, No, Mabey)
is better. Perhaps ya'll were thinking of a single checkbox.. which would
work as well.. but it doesn't convey the same Yes/No UI option that a Y/N
combobox would.

How do you come to this perception?!

Yes, but those listboxes are nested within a larger context. To say that
even MS doesn't follow this suggestion is incorrect.

Even MS doesn't follow this suggestion. Take a look at the properties
page
for various controls (text edit for example) and you will see multiple
instances of properties marked Yes/No or True/False that are combo boxes
and
not checkboxes.

If it needs only Y & N, shouldn't it be a boolean control or a listbox
control, but not a ComboBox control?
Using a ComboBox for this, I would say, is a good example of a poorly
designed UI. UI's should be easy to use and understand for users. Users
don't expect ComboBoxes for Y & N answers.
Is there some reason why you feel you need a ComboBox for this?

When I pay my bills online, I am forced to check a single checkbox,
indicating that "Yes", I have read and agree to the terms and conditions of
that web site. If I don't check the checkbox, it means that "No", I don't.
The single checkbox solution is just as valid as the Yes & No radiobutton
solution.
All I suggested was that a "Boolean" control would be best. Both checkboxes
and radiobuttons are Boolean.

Hello GhostInAK,
My appologies. I meant in the context of providing both Yes and No as UI
elements (as the combobox would have done).
Some days I forget to type a letter.. some days I gotget to type a word..
other days I forget to type whole paragraphs.
