Combobox
- Thread starter SAWS
- Start date
Hi
SAWS
i made a Combobox component which i called as "ctlSpecialComboBox" which can do following things
1) Can have two columns
2) can switch the column orders
3) Can do extended searching
so below is the code for this
all you have to do is to add a NEW COMPONENENT From "ADD COMPONENT" and then paste the following code
named the control to "CtlSpecialCombobox" and you are done you can then paste this component on any form or container
Regards
Nouman

Hello Mr. Zaheer,
In my project I select 'add new component' and I did paste the code. I only get an error on MMDAC and sprocparam. When this is solved, is it so that I have to drag the component from the solution explorer. Sorry, I'am quiet new to vb.net.
Thank you very much.

Thank you very much.
I am sorry SWS,I had some functionality which you wont require so copy the following code in ur component make sure you just copy that thing with all of the code is seleceted in ur component
Now when you build it then you can add that component in ur
Project
all you have to do is set
1) In properties of combobox you will see two new propeties
called
ColumnFieldDBName="STC_Desc,STC_Code" 'Set it to the fields you want to show
ColumnFieldDLabels= "State Description, State Code
2) In your code inseted of setting DataSource use the propety
Comobobox.SetDataTable='your table'
Hope it will help you out

Nomi2000,
In my project I'am currently working in, I selected Add Component and then component class. In the source view I copied your code (the last one) and I saved everything. On my project name I said rebuild, and I did not get any errors, but I don't know what I should do now. Is it on my default combobox from .Net or am I messing up everything, and didn't I use the right add component.
Sorry for this stupid questions, but I can't get out of it.
Thanks.

Hi SAWS
thats the one thing which i don't like in VB .net in the version i have which is .net framework 1.0 is when you made your component then it will not come automatically in your toolbar as it should be as its now a component..although you can make another component libraary for holding all the component and then add refreence to that library to any project when its needed but let me give you the solution which you are looking
1) after you compile the project with you component then
paste an ordinay combobox to you form and then go the source of that form and Open that code region which .net write by itself means #Region " Windows Form Designer generated code "
replace
System.Windows.Forms.ComboBox with WindowsApplication8.ctlSpecialComboBox 'where windowsApplication8 is the name of your project if its differnt then change this to your name
And when you did it and go back to design view your combobx will be a SPECIAL combobox with all the MISC properties in the PROPERTIES window of that combobbox
ALTHOUGH THIS STEP Should not be done as it should be in toolbox but my .net not do this for me so first time you have to do like this once you have that combobox on form you can copy and paste from that form to any other form in your project
