Multiple Combo Boxes With The Same Data Source (C#)
probably you could also try this solution, just assign a new Context to the 2nd combo box:
combobox1.DataSource = results;
combobox1.DisplayMember = "DisplayValue";
combobox1.ValueMember = "Value";
combobox2.BindingContext = new BindingContext(); //create a new context
combobox2.DataSource = results;
combobox2.DisplayMember = "DisplayValue";
combobox2.ValueMember = "Value";
Thank you
Yes , absolutely you are correct since you are binding to the same source , so selecting in one will be applied to the rest of the combox
for overcoming to this problem , you need to manually remove the other combobox handler in a slectedindex changed event then set selected index and then again add handlers to put in code , just see below
ComboBox c1 = new ComboBox();
ComboBox c2 = new ComboBox();
c1.SelectedIndexChanged += new EventHandler(c1_SelectedIndexChanged);
c2.SelectedIndexChanged += new EventHandler(c2_SelectedIndexChanged);
void c2_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
c1.SelectedIndexChanged -= c1_SelectedIndexChanged;
c2.SelectedIndex = 2;
c1.SelectedIndexChanged += c1_SelectedIndexChanged;
}
void c1_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
c2.SelectedIndexChanged -= c2_SelectedIndexChanged;
c1.SelectedIndex = 2;
c2.SelectedIndexChanged += c2_SelectedIndexChanged;
}
I don't see why this should be so hard... you can just link them to clones of the same data source... that solves the problem. All you need to do is
objInsuredPrice.DataSource = new List<TSPrice>(priceList);
objTPPrice.DataSource = new List<TSPrice>(priceList);
objProvSum.DataSource = new List<TSPrice>(priceList);
Incidentally, this is exactly what VVS' code does.
Still, weird behaviour... that just has to be a bug, imo.
I know you didn't ask for it but may I suggest you to refactor your final code a little bit :-)
private List<TSPrice> GetPriceList()
{
return new List<TSPrice>
{
new TSPrice(0, ""),
new TSPrice(0, "Half Day"),
new TSPrice(0, "Full Day"),
new TSPrice(0, "1 + Half"),
new TSPrice(0, "2 Days"),
new TSPrice(0, "Formal Quote Required")
};
}
private void BindPriceList(ComboBox comboBox, List<TSPrice> priceList)
{
comboBox.DataSource = priceList();
comboBox.ValueMember = "Price";
comboBox.DisplayMember = "Description";
comboBox.SelectedIndex = 0;
}
BindPriceList(objInsuredPrice, GetPriceList());
BindPriceList(objTPPrice, GetPriceList());
BindPriceList(objProvSum, GetPriceList());
