combobox

Post by ngpollarolo »

Is it possible to get an example of creation and use of a combobox with items type keyvaluepair in a winform in x#?

Hi Giorgio,
if you are using an object as element to fill a ComboBox in Windows Forms, the following code should work:

Code: Select all

self:PassSys:DisplayMember	:= "Value"
self:PassSys:ValueMember	:= "Key"
self:PassSys:DataSource	:= oDict
self:PassSys:SelectedValue	:= oItem:PassSys
where "PassSys" is the ComboBox, "oDict" the dictionary and "oItem" the current dataitem (or model, in case you are thinking in MVVM).
This is standard Windows Forms behavior.

Thank Wolfgang,

my problem is to translate from c# to x# the following code:

comboBox1.Items.Add(new KeyValuePair<string, int>("Opción 1", 1));
comboBox1.Items.Add(new KeyValuePair<string, int>("Opción 2", 2));
comboBox1.Items.Add(new KeyValuePair<string, int>("Opción 3", 3));

getting values from the array:

aTab:={}
aadd(aTab,{"giorgio",123})
aadd(aTab,{"Jose",234})

TIA

Hi Giorgio,
please forget the comboBox1.Items.Add syntax.

Code: Select all

using System.Collections.Generic

local oValues as List<KeyValuePair<int,string>>

oValues := List<KeyValuePair<int,string>>{}
oValues:Add( 123, "giorgio" )
oValues:Add( 234 "jose" )
comboBox1:DisplayMember := "value"
comboBox1:ValueMember := "key"
comboBox1:DataSource := oValues
You can use every object to fill your combobox, just fill the correct values to the DisplayMember and ValueMember properties.

I agree with Wolfgang, his suggested way to do it is much more elegant. But just for completeness, the direct translation of your c# code to X# is this:

Code: Select all

comboBox1:Items:Add(KeyValuePair<STRING, INT>{"Opción 1", 1})
