Re: ComboBox will not release focus

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Hi John,

Have you gotten a fix for this? I'm having the same problem (at least
I think it is) with a combobox on a form, everything works fine if I
don't touch the box, but do anything with it and the rest of the form
stops working. I can min the window, but I can't close out the app.

Hi, I've got a comboBox that is behaving oddly.
This is a Windows Forms application in VB.NET 2005.

I'm doing some manual databinding to it - I add a row to a strongly typed
dataTable and then assign the DisplayMember and ValueMember properties of the
comboBox as in:

Me.CoInfoDataSet.ACHProviders.AddACHProvidersRow(ACHPROVIDER.WellsFargo,
"Wells Fargo")
For Each row As CoInfoDataSet.ACHProvidersRow In Me.CoInfoDataSet.ACHProviders
Me.ACHProviderComboBox.Items.Add(row)
Next
Me.ACHProviderComboBox.DisplayMember = "Description"
Me.ACHProviderComboBox.ValueMember = "ProviderID"

I have a number of other controls on the form. When I load up, I can move
between controls, including my comboBox without any issue. However, as soon
as I select an item from the comboBox dropdown list, I can't get the focus to
leave the comboBox. This includes using TAB, the mouse, etc. I can't even
close the application through the control box because the comboBox holds the
focus. I have to stop the IDE from debugging the project to shut it down. I
don't have any code in any of the comboBox events. Is this something that
anyone has seen before?

Thanks in advance. Baffled...
