Visual Basic :: Select Item In DataList

DataList Selected Item Jumps To Top
Hey all,
I've got a silly little problem w/ a DataList I am using.
A user can select an item in the list but if they click anywhere else after that the item they selected moves it's self to the top of the datalist, leaving an unselected copy of its self below.

It's not really affecting my data per say but the order things appear in the DataList is fairly important due to th nature of the information.

Ideally I would like a way for that selectec item to stay where it is and stay selected.

Much thanks in advance

Ado 6 Access Selecting Item In Datalist Box
Hello.
I want to select an item in a datalist box and make this item appear back in a listbox. The datalist box is populated by use of a query. When the datalist item is put back into the listbox the database status will also need to change for that item.

I know when I'm using a listbox and want to select an item the coding is something like this
If listcar.listindex <> -1 then

but I'm not sure what coding to use with datalist boxes.

I am also told I will need to do an update and a requery.

I'm a bit clueless on this.

Thanks for any replies.

Changing Selected Item In DataList Through Code?
I have a DataList control populated with an Adodc control, and I want to be able to select the first item in the list through code. Is there an easy way to do this? I found that moving in the ADO recordset doesn't affect which item is selected, and the .SelectedItem property which looked promising appears to be read only.

DataList Multi-select
just discovered much to my dismay that the DataList does not have a MultiSelect property. I need to have the list directly connected to the database, so I can't very well use the old ListBox control since I am using ADO and would have to populate it on the fly.

can multi-select be done with a datalist? If so, how?

Auto-select First Record Of Datalist... HOW?
I tried to word this as best as I could, but you may have to read it twice. Thanks for any help.

I am trying to tackle how to automatically select the first record in a datalist. I want to set the boundtext of the datalist automatically when it loads rather than actually having to click on it. I am probably doing the same thing wrong here that I was earlier with some other stuff. Should I be trying to select the first record through manipulation of the recordset or rather try to select the first item of the datalist through direct manipulation of the datalist control? If so, how do I go about do that?

I currently am using a MonthView control to create a query by date that lists a number of records for that day in a datalist. Then, once I select a record in the datalist, another query is generated which a datagrid uses to display info about the particular item selected in the datalist.

The problem I am having is when I select a date, no particular record is selected from the datalist, and therefore, the datagrid displays information for ALL the records currently in the datalist. It works for me, but it sure confuses the heck out of the program's users and it looks unprofessional.

I hope someone can help me here.

Select A Record Within A Populated Datalist
I have an app that when user selects a "Status" within a list box it populates a datalist of all the items in the the DB with that status. User than can then click on an item within the datalist which populates text boxes on the form with the details of the selected item. That all works great.

However, I need to be able to select the item in the Datalist (i.e. highlight it) from code. I am currently getting it to select the correct "Status" in the list box and fill the text boxes on the form, but the item is not selected in the datalist.

Does anyone have any ideas or links to some help?

Thanks.

Get Datalist Selection To Correspond To Another Datalist
Hey,

I have two datalists on my form, both having a list of the exact same size. I would like it to highlight, or select, the appropriate item in one of them based on what was selected in the other datalist.

Using comboboxes, this is easy to do by saying:

Code:
combo1.ListIndex = Combo2.ListIndex

Is there a corresponding way to do this with datalists? Using the .SelectedItem property gets me the index value of what was selected in one of the lists, but how can I use this to with the second datalist?

Select First Item In Listview
Hi,

I have a somewhat simple problem and I am wondering what the simplest way to handle it is. I have a treeview that I am loading with some information about files in a specific directory. The listview is set to automatically sort the list and after all the nodes are added, I want to have the top node in the treeview be selected. But I don't have a reference to the first node in the list. Are there any properties that I can use to get the node that is at the top of the list?

Thanks,

Combobox Item Select
Hello, I have a combo box with 5 items on it, how can i display text pertaining to the select item in a text box when the user select's an item out of the combo box.

They click the wedge to drop down the 5 choices, and I want to be able to display information about their choice when they select it. I tried the change event, but that's only when you actually change the text of the box, I just want it to see when the text changes from Item1 to Item2. Is there any way of doing this without setting up a timer to constantly check the text in the box?

Thanks for any help. Appreciate it.

Item.key Problem In Sql Select
This is similar to my other post, but a little different code. Still can't get the error fixed, but i know the right id is being retrieved because it even says the correct id in the error. still keep getting a syntax error that says missing operator.

Dim rsIclick, SQL, intMediaId
Set rsIclick = New Recordset

SQL = "Select mediaid from media_tbl where " & _
"mediaid=" & Item.Key
Set rsIclick = conn.Execute(SQL)
intMediaId = rsIclick("MediaId")
MsgBox (rsIclick)

Select Item From MSHFlexGrid
I know that there are posts that come close to answering this question and I even got the code from the MakeDB Project which will help in other areas of the program. But what I need to do is have the user be able to click on an item in the populated recordset of an MSHFlexGrid and this action will populate the text boxes of another form.
The Idea is they bring up a form(form1) to edit items in the database. they are presented with a Select Item button that opens a form(form2) with the MSHFlexGrid on it that is populated with items in the database. They click the item, form2 is unloaded and form1 has all the fields filled in.

The grid is populated with the following code
Private Sub Form_Load()
Dim objrs As New Recordset
mySQL = "SELECT Description, Manufacturer, Category, Location FROM Items"
g_Conn.CursorLocation = adUseClient

objrs.Source = mySQL
Set objrs.ActiveConnection = g_Conn
objrs.Open
Set flexSelect.DataSource = objrs
DoInitialSettings
End Sub

g_Conn is an ADODB.connection made in a module at program startup

Any help will be appreciated.

How To Select One Item Only In Listview
Hi,
To make sure only one item has it's checkbox 'checked' in a listview I run the following code in the 'item_check' event:

lvw.SelectedItem.Checked = True
lvw.SelectedItem.Bold = True
lvw.SelectedItem = lvw.ListItems(lvw.SelectedItem.Index)
lvw.SelectedItem.Bold = True

Which works fine. The problem is when the user clicks on the row rather than the checkbox itself. Doing this fires the 'click' event but the .selecteditem is now the row that has been selected rather the row it is coming from and I end up with two rows with their checkboxes checked.

I have tried to store the selecteditem before the click event fires but am not having much luck.

Please help!

I have a list box that gets filled by account numbers read from a table.
Then details for the item that is selected from the listbox are displayed

How To Select A Particular Item In A Combobox
I want to pre-select an entry in a combo box when it loads. If there is an item with a journal description that contains "Recurring" I want the combobox to show that one instead of showing the first item. Can someone show me how to do this? Here is my code to load the combobox:

Dim i As Integer, n As String * 2, a As String * 4
cboJrnl.Clear
Set rs = db.OpenRecordset("SELECT * FROM GLJournals " & _
"WHERE coNum=" & comp, dbOpenSnapshot, dbReadOnly)
If rs.EOF Then Exit Sub
rs.MoveLast: rs.MoveFirst
For i = 0 To rs.RecordCount - 1
RSet n = rs!jnlNum
RSet a = rs!jnlAbbr
cboJrnl.AddItem n & " [" & a & "] " & _
rs!jnlDesc & Space(99) & rs!ID
rs.MoveNext
Next
If cboJrnl.ListCount > 0 Then cboJrnl.ListIndex = 0
End Sub

End With

Right-Click Select Item In ListView
Hi. How can I program a ListView so that when the user right-clicks on it, the corresponding item is selected just as if the user had left-clicked? I thought of the SendMessage API but then how do I convert the X and Y values from the ListView's MouseDown event into an lParam value? i.e. how do i do the opposite of extracting High and Low-Order words?
Thanks in advance.

Select An Item In Combo Box Upon Load
Hi all,

I have a simple question. I have a VB6 program with at least 2 forms. The first form which interest us is used by a user to select the department in which he works. The second form receive that information plus the list of ALL departments.

What I want to acheive is this :

- The first form is opened.
- The user selects a departement from a combo box.
- The user clicks ok.
- The second form receive the information of the first form in a variable.
- Another combo box is present on the second form and is already filled with all the department names (identical to the one in the first form combo box).
- On load, the departement from the first form is selected in the combo box on the second form.

Is that clear enough to understand?

GoTo List Item And Select It
I have a list box with a bunch of dates in it. I also have a MonthView control. I'd like to click a date in the MonthView and have the listbox scroll to the first instance of that date in the list, and select it. I have no idea how to do it so my code isn't much but here it is:

Code:
Private Sub mntPickDate_DateClick(ByVal DateClicked As Date)
Dim intIndex As Integer

For intIndex = 0 To lstHistory.ListCount
If InStr(1, lstHistory.List(intIndex), Format(DateClicked, "mmmm dd, yyyy")) Then
Exit For 'change this to whatever will scroll to the item and select it
End If
Next intIndex
MsgBox "No activity was found for the date selected.", vbExclamation + vbOKOnly, "Date Not Found"
mntPickDate.Visible = False
End Sub

Auto Select Item In ListBox
A Form has a ListBox wherein only 1 item is visible at a time. Usually when a ListBox is scrolled using the mouse, the previous/next item becomes visible to him but the item that becomes visible DOESN'T get selected. The user has to click the item explicitly to select it (of course, if a user uses the keyboard to scroll the ListBox, the items get selected too but that's a different matter).

What I want is when a user scrolls the ListBox using his mouse, the item that becomes visible to him should automatically get selected as well.

Can this be accomplished? If yes, how?

Note that the ListBox doesn't include CheckBoxes.
