Glad that was it!

Hi Greg,



Thanks a lot, that is exactly what I was looking for. I tested it and it works just great!, very simple coding.

I'm not exactly which event you'd use (parent form loading maybe), but here is how you'd figure out if the combo has only one choice, then select that choice:







I just typed this in, so I may have made some typing mistakes, but this should get you going.

Let me try to explain myself better.

The combobox is bounded to the BO and it is being filled with records, all that is working fine, but in this case a record must be selected, and when there is only one record I want to show that record in the combobox instead of having the user to dropdown the combo and select the only available record.

I can not use the default value since I don't know the PK of the record being filled in the combobox.



I know I have to add code to check the listview.items.count taking into consideration the "TopMost" item added automatically, but I don't know how to reference the records in the combobox to do the count and then show or select the only item in the list if there is only one item.

Well, first you would just need to bind the combo to the BO.  Next, why can't you just set the default value of the field that will be bound?

Thanks Trent.



On a similar subject, I have a combo that in some cases will only have 2 items, the one added by the TopMost feature and one from the database, I would like to by code, autoselect the one item from the database to be shown in the combo so the user does not have to click the combo to select the only item available, how can this be done?

Fixed.  It will be in the next update.

Hi Trent,

Here is the sample posted by Dustin before, I modified to include an SF TextBox with AutoComplete. To see the problem, just try to tab between the 2 fields, and you will see (hopefully) that nothing will happen, now if you press "Enter" then the cursor will move back and forth the 2 fields as the Tab should also do.



I am using the latest posted beta.

Edhy,

I just set up a test and it worked.  So you may need to produce a sample showing me what your issue is.  I set this up using SF textboxes with AutoComplete turned on, so you are going to need to give me more in-depth details to reproduce.  Ideally it would be nice to just fire up a sample that shows me what your issue is.  Thanks.

Forgot to mention that the problem is also happening with SF Textboxes using the AutoComplete feature.
