Thanks for replying..

My situation goes this way... my combobox holds the list of my contacts.. and if i want to view / edit Personal Information of that specific contact.. i'll just double click the combo box to show my contacts information form... In that way i can go to my contacts info by just double clicking my combox...

Hi!,
I am not trying to ask you to change the design of your app., but a feasible solution is an Edit button right besides the cboBox so that the user may select the comboBox item and then click on edit to edit the selected record.
This way the user is not forced to do any extra thing, since any which way he had to click TWICE to edit/view the record.

Hope this helps you out in some way or the other.

Happy Programming!!!!

Make it any way you wish. The ComboBox still doesn't expose a double-click event.

ListBox and ListView, more traditionally used for what you describe, both expose a double-click.

You're looking for the AutoCompleteMode and AutoCompleteSource properties.

Is there any property that will let me know if that AutoCompleteSource will nothing so suggest..? something like giving "true" if it suggested a string or "false" if it no suggested string?

Nope. You'd have to make your own version of the ComboBox to do that. Probably tracking how many characters the user actually typed against the length of the string in the Text property, maybe.

Does any one know how to create a drop-down menu on a LinkLabel?

I want to create a LinkLabel called 'Language', once a user clicks on 'Language' further links will show i.e France, English, Spain ect. The user then select the language type.

Hi Ian,

Assuming that you are talking about a windows form and not a web page, the answer is: you can't. The LinkLabel is simply not the correct control for this.
However, despair not. There are ways (from easy to difficult):
1. Instead use the ComboBox control which is pretty much the windows forms version of the drop down menu as found on web pages. (the pragmatic solution)
2. create a little form and populate it with buttons or labels or something, with the language alternatives you want. Make it look the way you want and make it appear right under your LinkLabel when you click it. (i.e. fake it)
3. Make a custom control that looks and acts the way you want. Best would probably be again to inherit the ComboBox control, and change its appearance. This solution is basically the same as number 1. except that it is a lot more work. (the stubborn solution)

Good luck with it,

Johan

My advice is free, and you may get what you paid for.

Hi.
I have this code:

for i as integer=0 to array.lenght-1 <br />
if array(i)=value1 then<br />
var=true<br />
end if<br />
if var=true then<br />
....<br />
next

I need to set the value1 on the first position of the array and the first position of the array must be set on the last position of the array.
I don't have any idea.
thanks

In that order? If you do it in that order then value1 will be set on the first and last positions of the array.

Try this:

array(array.Length - 1) = array(0)
array(0) = value1

no.isn't good.
I want to keep all the values of the array.
In array(array.length-1)=must keep the first position of the vector before I make array(0)=value1.

Please always paste the actual code, in case a typo changes the context of something.

How do you mean ? You want to swap the first and last items ?

example: I have a string :123#123.123#(local)
I split this string:
array()=string.split("#")
I'm looking for a value on this array.I take (local)
I found the position of this value:array((2).
I want to move array(2) on the first position of the array,but I don't want to loose elements of the array,and the last position of the array must be=123.
Something like this:
string=(local)#123.123#123
Thanks.

Re: array

Christian Graus25-Aug-07 20:35

So you want to *swap* the elements.

So you do this:

dim o as object = array(0)
array(0) = array(array.Length = 1)
array(array.Length - 1) = o
