Re: DropDownList Input

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

Thanks for the info. I am a novice and just learning the basics.

I am trying to implement the solution per
http://www.dotnetjohn.com/articles.aspx?articleid=132

From what I can understand from the article is that I need to create a vb
project with a Class file named KeySortDropDownList.vb. I downloaded the
project code to do that.

I am trying to add the custom control to my web page as outlined but don't
see how to add the dll to the tool box. When I right click on the tool box I
don't see any option to 'Add/Remove Items'.

"Create a webform, or use the default WebForm1.aspx. In design mode open the
tool box and right click. Select the 'Add/Remove Items' option. In the
resulting dialog box browse to the KeySortDropDownList.dll, press Select and
then OK. The control will then be added to the toolbox. Drag the control onto
your .aspx file. "

What am I doing wrong?

As Steven pointed out, it is not possible to do what you want without using
JavaScript in some way (whether it be simple basic code you write yourself
or AJAX). Also, as Steven suggested, you need to decide whether you want to
accomplish your goal using an extra TextBox or JavaScript that remembers
what value(s) were previously selected. I think you need to be clear about
exactly what you want your user interface to look like. Good Luck!

Hi Morris,

I think the things Nathan mentioned is use javascript(not java) to
implement a client script based component. Based on your requirement, it
is
somewhat like an auto-complete dropdownlist. However, since a standard
dropdownlist (<select> html element) cannot remember the previous letters
you type, you may consider adding a textbox to hold the entire characters
user has typed.

ASP.NET ajax control toolkit contains a built-in auto-complete control,
you
can have a look:

#AutoComplete Demonstration

aspx

And there are some other articles discussing on implement a custom
auto-complete control via client-script:

I am not working with Java. Maybe someone else has a answer with a bit
more
details.

I am assuming based on your question that your DropDownList contains the
values 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8, and 9. If you want to do this without any
buttons,
you will need to have a variable that gets appended to on the JavaScript
onchange event. If you want to use a button, use the JavaScript onclick
event of the button. If it is help in displaying the correct entries,
you
will need to give a little more information. Good Luck!

Hi,

Currently in a dropdownlist, the input by the user is taken as the
first
digit entry for the selection. i.e. if the user enters 5 the
dropdownlist
