That doesn't add a horizontal scrollbar. It just sets the extent to which it can scroll IF one was visible. The ComboBox has to be created with a WS_HSCROLL style bit set, upon its creation, in order for a horizontal scrollbar to show up, but the .NET control isn't created with this bit set.
In order to do this, you'll have to create your version of the ComboBox class by inheriting from ComboBox and overriding a couple of things. This should get you started...
Public Class ComboBoxEx ' or whatever you want to call your version
Inherits ComboBox
Private Declare Auto Function SendMessage Lib "user32" ( _
ByVal hWnd As IntPtr, ByVal Msg As Integer, _
ByVal wParam As IntPtr, ByVal lParam As IntPtr) As IntPtr
Private Const CB_SETHORIZONTALEXTENT As Integer = &H15E
Protected Overrides ReadOnly Property CreateParams() As System.Windows.Forms.CreateParams
Get
Dim cp As CreateParams = MyBase.CreateParams
cp.Style = cp.Style Or &H100000 ' This turns on the WS_HSCROLL bit.
Return cp
End Get
End Property
Protected Overrides Sub OnDropDown(ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
' You might want to add some code to figure out how long the longest item is first!
SendMessage(MyBase.Handle, CB_SETHORIZONTALEXTENT, widthInPixels, 0)
MyBase.OnPaint(e)
End Sub
End Class

Using the standard control, there is no way to determine which item the mouse is hovering over, therefore, no way to put up a meaningful tooltip on a per-item basis. You'd have to create your own version of the ComboBox that exposes this. I've seen examples in C++ and MFC that do this, but nothing for C# or VB.NET.

Thank you very much.
I am able to get the highlighted item in a combo box by using SendMessage(ComboBox1.Handle, CB_GETCURSEL, 0&, 0&). But I dont have an event fired when the mouse moves over the list box portion of combo box. Is there a way to do it?

There is no event for this. Also, you'd have to write, from scratch, your own ComboBox if you wanted to add ToolTip on a per-item basis. I have never found and VB.NET or C# code to do this. I have found, however, C++/MFC code. This MIGHT be able to be used as a model, but I think it's WAY too much work for little functionality.

I worked on a project where we scanned barcodes on corrugate containers (cardboard boxes). The barcodes were printed on line by a Marsh printer. The barcode reader was connected to Channel "0" of an AB PLC 5/40. In the ladder logic I picked apart the barcode to only have the last 6 digits. These digits are brand specific. Then I compared these digits with the digits that came down from the mainframe when the operators selected the brand that they were running. If there was a mismatch, the line was shutdown. There is a function in the PLC 5 that lets you read directly from Channel "0". It has been a few years since I have worked on that logic, so things are a little fuzzy!

I fail to see the VB.NET question in here. From you post, it looks like your asking a ladder logic question....this ain't the place for it.

the error that im getting is:
Additional information: Dynamic SQL generation for the UpdateCommand is not supported against a SelectCommand that does not return any key column information.
my code to populate the datagrid is:

Yes you can do it, if you have Access at frontend and Access db at backend then you can run wizard to do so.

Hi,
I have a table with ID, col_name1, col_name2 and so on.
i am building a dataTable with ID
another datatable with all the columns that contains that id
now i am passing ID as a parameter in the second datalist and building a dataview. which gives me a block of data with just one specific ID. please refer to my code below:
-----------------------------
objConn = New SqlConnection(dbPath)
Try
'select the table with only distinct ID based
cmd = New SqlCommand("select distinct measure_id from measuredata m, textdata t where t.ScoreCardId = m.ScoreCardId", objConn)
Dim da As SqlDataAdapter = New SqlDataAdapter(cmd)
Dim dtId As New DataTable("MeasureId")
da.Fill(dtId)
'select all columns with ID
Dim cmd1 As SqlCommand = New SqlCommand("select * from measureData", objConn)
Dim da1 As SqlDataAdapter = New SqlDataAdapter(cmd1)
Dim dt As New DataTable("MeasureSource")
da1.Fill(dt)
Dim myView As New DataView(dt)
Dim datarow As DataRow
Dim listitem As System.Web.UI.WebControls.ListItem
For Each datarow In dtId.Rows
myView.RowFilter = String.Format("Measure_Id='{0}'", datarow.Item("measure_Id"))
'######## checking if the dataview works #########
DataGrid1.DataSource = myView
DataGrid1.DataBind()
Next datarow
Catch ex As Exception
Response.Write("OOPs what went wrong:" + ex.ToString)
Finally
End Try
-----------------------------
now Datagrid1 is picking up only the block of record with last ID as it can only hold i set of data.
how can i programatically populate a chart inside that loop so that i can build a chart if there is data related to specific ID.
my aim is to generate a separate webchart for each ID in run time. do i need to declare those webchart control before i actually bind the data to it.
hope its not complex. I did post this question lots of time but i am not getting any response. is it too hard? I am happy to buy a third party software if could automate what i want to achieve.
many thanks again for all your help.

Hi all,
I want to have the drop down items from a main menustrip item appear in a
context menu. I must be missing something because the only way I can see to
do this is to manually duplicate the menu items in the contextmenustrip and
duplicate the code to handle the click event.
I have tried the Contextmenustrip.Items.AddRange(Toolstripmenuitem.Dropdownitems) but this seems to move the menu item to the context menu and crashes if there are more than 1 Toolstripmenuitem.Dropdownitems.
In VS 2003 you could merge a main menu items into a context menu, nice and
easy. Couldn't find any help searching the forums, surely I am not the only
one trying to do this?
Also, is it true that MS has not implemented visual inheritance for menustrips on forms? I can no longer add to/merge with the menu that appears on the ancestor on an inherited form!!
Any assistance greatly appreciated

I am using the following code to save an image into an MSAcess database using VB 2003
How can I resize the image to a fixed size? and two is there a cleaner way to do this
Dim STREAM As System.IO.FileStream
Dim READER As StreamReader
Dim JPEG_FILE As String
JPEG_FILE = txtPicFile.Text 'this is the path and file name of image
STREAM = New FileStream(JPEG_FILE, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read, FileShare.Read)
READER = New StreamReader(STREAM)
Dim FILEBYTE(STREAM.Length - 1) As Byte
STREAM.Read(FILEBYTE, 0, STREAM.Length)
'save image to database using DBS As DAO.Database and RST As DAO.Recordset...
.Fields("Image").Value = FILEBYTE
|
|
|
|
|
dim b as Bitmap = new Bitmap(txtPicFile.Text)
I'm pretty sure there's another constructor that takes a bitmap and a new size, which you can use to resize it. Then you can access the bits of the bitmap in whatever format you like to write to the database, they are exposed on the bitmap object.

That looks pretty straightforward.
To resize an image you load the image into a Bitmap object, create a new Bitmap object with the size you want, and draw the first bitmap onto the new one scaled to that size. Save the image to a memorystream so that you easily can get it as a byte array.
---
b { font-weight: normal; }
|
|
|
|
|
That sound straight forward. How do I do that? I asume you use the
dim MyBitmap as bitmap ' creates the object
but how do I set the size?
|
|
|
|

New_Coder wrote: dim MyBitmap as bitmap ' creates the object
That only creates a reference to the object. When you create the object you specify the size:
MyBitmap = New BitMap(width, height)
---
b { font-weight: normal; }

How do I get my image into the MyBitmap variable so I can save it back to the MSAccess database at a specific size?
Thanks for your help
