Combobox

[SpeBeeTo]

Hi. I am a newbie in programming C#, and am having a mental block. I am programming for the pocketPC. I have a Combobox named "Type" and have a list there. I want to show the results of the entry from the combobox into a text label. For example, I pick "fruit" from the combobox. I want to display on the screen: "This food is a fruit" If I pick "vegetable" from the combobox, it should display: "This food is a vegetable" Right now, I'm getting: "This food is a 1" "This food is a 2" How can I make the 2 into vegetable? This is what I have, and I have a feeling it has to do with the GetValue and/or GetOrdinal.... I just can't seem to get it to work.... TypeLabel.Text = rReader.GetValue(rReader.GetOrdinal("MovieType")).ToString(); Thanks... Sorry for such a dumb question. :sigh: If I haven't given you enough code, let me know. I can always add more. :laugh:

Okay, I thought I understood what I'm doing, but it's not really working. :confused: I added this: this.GLabel.Text = this.TypeCombo.Text; To the Windows Form Designer generated code. I added this: OnTypeCombo_SelectedIndexChanged "1" write male; It gives me the following error: Invalid token "1" in class, struct, or interface member declaration. :((

Hello! Oh my bad...try this in windows for designer: this.combobox1.SelectedIndexChanged += new System.EventHandler(this.combobox1_SelectedIndexChanged); then have this code inside the EventArgs: this.Label.Text = this.combobox1.SelectedItem.Text hope that works:-O Aim small, miss small... -- modified at 1:02 Thursday 15th December, 2005

private void comboBox1_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, System.EventArgs e) { this.textBox1.Text = this.comboBox1.Text; } //this code must work, i tested multiple time and works fine. I hope u fill combobox in onLoad Event of ur Form or u fill combobox from another event

Thanks guys! Off to the new "challenge"!!!! :)

Well, it worked. :) Thanks again. I have another problem, errr, challenge now. I am using an SQL database to save the info the person chooses on one form (pedbone.cs). Here's the code to the Combobox I've got on the "main" form (pedbone.cs): // populate the list - gender m_cTypes = new ArrayList(); m_cTypes.Add("Unknown"); m_cTypes.Add("Male"); m_cTypes.Add("Female"); TypeCombo.DataSource = m_cTypes; These are listed in a ListView SqlCeCommand sqlLoadEvents = m_cConn.CreateCommand(); sqlLoadEvents.CommandText = szSQL; SqlCeDataReader rReader = sqlLoadEvents.ExecuteReader(); while ( rReader.Read() ) { lvItem.SubItems.Add(GetTypeFromNumber ((int)rReader.GetValue(rReader.GetOrdinal("MovieType"))));// Gender CollectionList.Items.Add( lvItem ); } } And here I got the Combobox text to show in the ListView, by using this code private string GetTypeFromNumber(int nTypeID) { return (m_cTypes[nTypeID].ToString()); } Now, when you click on the listview item, a new form opens up (AddEditMovieForm.cs) to view the file in more detail. And here's where I'm running into a bit of a bind. public AddEditMovieForm(SqlCeConnection cConn, int nMovieID) { InitializeComponent(); m_cConn = cConn; m_nMovieID = nMovieID; m_cTypes = new ArrayList(); if ( m_nMovieID != -1 ) { SqlCeCommand sqlCommand = m_cConn.CreateCommand(); sqlCommand.CommandText = "SELECT * FROM MOVIE_MNGR_TABLE where MovieID = "+m_nMovieID.ToString(); SqlCeDataReader rReader = sqlCommand.ExecuteReader(); if ( rReader.Read() ) { } { GenderLabel.Text = rReader.GetValue(rReader.GetOrdinal("MovieType")).ToString();// Gender { } } } }
