Customization Question - Ultra Combo Box

Yahoo Archive
1
I don't have the Tools Manual, so I rely on the Infragistics online
help for the control properties and methods. Here's a link to the
UltraComboEditor.DropDownStyle property. This(Yahoo) forum's message
format breaks up lines, so you'll have to re-assemble the link.

Infragistics2.Win.UltraWinEditors.v8.2~Infragistics.Win.UltraWinEditor
s.UltraComboEditor~DropDownStyle.html

I don't use customization enough to remember the .Net details, so
I've book marked most of the UI control's classes on the Infragistics
site.

I have an ultra combo box that I have implecitely set the selections. I
am not using a table for the selections. How do I set it that the user
can only populate using the selection and cannot free type into the box?

Thanks

You either have to use a UI mod or a BPM. I use a BPM to check to make sure they at least enter something, but it could be easily modified to check for a set of values.

It is a Part.Update Method with a condition of:
"the Part.ShortChar01 field of the changed row is equal to the "" value"
and and action of:
"raise exception based on the Vam Class Code is Mandatory template (exit on error)"

I have an ultra combo box that I have implecitely set the selections. I
am not using a table for the selections. How do I set it that the user
can only populate using the selection and cannot free type into the box?

Thanks

I believe you need to set the DropDownStyle = DropDownList

So if your ulta combo is called EpiUltraCombo1 then in the Form Load
Event handler try this statement:

EpiUltraCombo1.DropDownStyle = DropDownList

There are two possible settings for DropDownStyle, DropDown and
DropDownList

The DropDownList limits the returned value to one of the list items
where just DropDown allows you to enter a value outside the list.

DropDown is the default.
