Multi column Combo Boxes?
Is there a Multi column Combo Boxes? and if so how do I use it?
Example:
1 Person
2 Place
3 Thing
Column 1 would have a width of 0 so the user would not see it but it would be sotred. The reason I can't use the column index is becouse the numbers sometimes skip.

What is the reason for wanting a combo box, over a data grid (I can probably guess, but just curious)?
ASKER
Space on the form.

I got the solution to open at http://www.codeproject.com/vb/net/multicolumncombo.asp (VB.NET 2003).
you could append all the data
Person & " : " & Place & " : " & Thing
ANd then put a label on top of the Combo
Person Place Thing
And that will save space
Person & " : " & Place & " : " & Thing
ANd then put a label on top of the Combo
Person Place Thing
And that will save space
You could also use ControlChars.Tab between to line them up in columns.

I unfortunetly only have .NET 2002
Mikal613:
The ID field can not be seen.
Could I make a class that stores the ID and Value and refer to that some how?

Never mind... .NET 2003
never minded
I have, in the past, taken a solution meant for 2003, and recreated it in 2002, and the code worked. I just created a new solution in 2002, and added the modules to that solution, and it ran.

I have atempted that. Mikal613 suggested the same code. I tryed to put it together in 2002 but with no success. I think I am missing References.

or you can have a list view, which on mouse over, expands it's height and on mouse out, shrinks down.
