vb.net - How to avoid adding duplicate items in a Combobox in VB? -
i have combobox on form user select items in drop-down box, allowed enter own input. need user add items combobox without adding duplicate item displayed.
for example: combobox has list of dog breeds such (pug, boxer, pitbull). how not allow user enter "pug" when type combobox?
i'm coding in visual basic, thank you!!!!
i have tried it. works.
and assuming u want exception when duplicated value entered. following code , in combobox1.validating event.
private sub combobox1_validating(sender object, e system.componentmodel.canceleventargs) handles combobox1.validating each item string in combobox1.items if item.tolower.contains(combobox1.text.tolower) msgbox("duplicate value: there's '" & item & "' in list. please select list.", msgboxstyle.exclamation, "dog breed") combobox1.text = "" exit end if next end sub for more information validating event, search yourself. thanks!
