Simple Question Concerning Combo Boxes

I just want to know how to limit a combo box so that a user can only
select from the list of items. Specifically, I have a list of the 50
state abbrevs, but if you type in TX as opposed to selecting TX, it
isn't registering it from the list below. Is there any way to make it
so they can only select a choice? Or the choice they select recognizes
the abbrev that is already provided? I hope this makes since. Thanks.

James,

Set the combo box's DropDownStyle to DropDownList.

hello, I'm still new to win32 programming and I have a small problem. I am making a simple application. The main GUI is a dialog box with check boxes, radio buttons, combo boxes etc. The problem I'm having is that I have two combo boxes (both dropdown). One of them works fine; when you click the arrow on the right side of the box, the list drops down. With the other combo box, when you click the arrow, it looks like something tries...

I wasn't sure how to search for previous posts about this, it felt real specific. Ok so here's the database & problem: I have 4 combo boxes: cboServer, cboPolicy, cboDB, and cboApplication. The idea behind the database is for a user to search/ select desired information in any kind of combination between the 4 combo boxes. Then the user clicks a button (btnSearch) and subsequently a query ("Search Function") is run that shows all 4...

I have 3 tables of information feeding into 4 combo boxes on my main form (DR Form). I have as many list boxes (acting as text boxes) as there are fields in each one of the 3 tables. Once selecting from the combo box, I have all the combo boxes, using afterupdate, populating their respective list boxes. These text boxes are directly correlated to the combo box selection using SQL. Here is an example from the afterupdate event in the...

I have a form which is bound to a dataset. I am filling the forms dataset on Form_Load event. On my form I have combo boxes which I am setting by running a stored procedure to return a datatable, which I then assign to the datasource. Some of my combo box datasources depend on values in other fields to limit the options. For example, I have a sales rep list that is limited by the customer selected in the customers combo box. And...

Hi, I have created some autopopulating combo boxes on my HTML page (script- Javascript). so these combo boxes are autopopulated with choices made in previous combo boxes. The problem I am facing is that the combo boxes resize according to the length of the autopulating string. For example if the combo box autopopulates with option 'United States of America', the combo box will become wider and if it autopopulates with value 'NY' the combo box...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

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,...
