combobox bug???

[Dominique Vandensteen]

dotnet framework v1.0.3705 in vs 2002
code below
whats happening

when I select something else than first element in my combobox and then I do
a combobox1.selectindex = -1 the first element is selected
so instead of being -1 it is 0 (checked with debugger)
if the first element is checked and I do combobox1.selectindex = -1, then
nothing is selected (normal)
the thing is that I have to call ComboBox1.SelectedIndex = -1 twice
but also the indexchanged event is raised twice (unkewl)

somebody saw this problem?


code:
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
Dim table As DataTable
table = New DataTable()
table.Columns.Add("id")
table.Columns.Add("name")
table.Rows.Add(New Object() {1, "one"})
table.Rows.Add(New Object() {2, "two"})
table.Rows.Add(New Object() {3, "much more"})
ComboBox1.DataSource = table
ComboBox1.DisplayMember = "name"
ComboBox1.ValueMember = "id"
ComboBox1.SelectedIndex = -1
End Sub

Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
ComboBox1.SelectedIndex = -1
End Sub

Hi,

The only way I found to do it is in a thread.
With ComboBox1

.DataSource = ds.Tables(0)

.DisplayMember = "Name"

.ValueMember = "id"

End With

Dim trdChange As New System.Threading.Thread(AddressOf ChangeComboIndex)

trdChange.Start()

Private Sub ChangeComboIndex()

ComboBox1.SelectedIndex = -1

End Sub

Hi Dominique,

I did not see that code of you made it new.

When I try this the behaviour it is as I would expect.

This is with 2003 so when not, we can try it again.

I hope this helps you
