Hi all

I want to have access like comboboxes in VB.
In the list i want to display two columns, but just bind one of them.

Does someone know how I can do this.

The dbcombo control available in VB4 allows you to do this.

I fought with this one for a long time.  The only answers I found were to
kludge something up out of existing VB controls or find a third party
control that can do the same thing.

My solution was to create my own using a text box, command button and a
list box.  The text box and command button are laid out to look like a
combo box control and the list box is positioned directly under the 'fake'
combo box and is defaulted to Visible = False.  The text box takes user
input, the command button 'click' event toggles the 'visible' property of
the list box and the list box is filled manually with the 'columns' of
data.  The click event of the list box extracts the left 'column'  info and
drops it in the text box.  None of this is bound but probably could be with
some modification.  It's quite a bit of effort to set up but gives you
ultimate control of the look and feel.  I could e-mail you more specific
info if you're interested.

Good Luck
