Format of a ComboBox

[Mikael Plouhinec]

Hello,

I have a combobox which contains several decimal values.

I would like to know how can I configure my combobox in order to view my values as currency for example.

Thanks a lot.

Hi Mike,

You can format the combobox value using "String.Format" method. Please refer this code snippets:

private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{            
this.comboBoxAdv1.Items.Add(String.Format("{0}134.5","$"));
this.comboBoxAdv1.Items.Add(String.Format("{0}5434.545", "$"));
this.comboBoxAdv1.Items.Add(String.Format("{0}0.5346", "$"));
}

Please refer the small sample in the below link which illustrates the above:

Ok.

But I don't use the method Add of Items. I use this :

this.comboBoxTauxTvaInitial.DataSource = Satori.Tarifs.TauxTVA.GetAllTaux();
this.comboBoxTauxTvaInitial.DisplayMember = "Taux";
this.comboBoxTauxTvaInitial.ValueMember = "OID";

Is there a way to format the displayMember as Currency for example?

Thanks a lot.

Hi Mike,

You can achieve this using ComboBoxDropDown and GridListControl.

void Grid_QueryCellInfo(object sender, Syncfusion.Windows.Forms.Grid.GridQueryCellInfoEventArgs e)
        {
            if (e.RowIndex > 0 && e.ColIndex > 0)
            {
                e.Style.CellType = "Currency"; ;
                e.Style.CellValueType = typeof(double);               
            }
            if (flag == 1)
            {
                this.comboDropDown1.TextBox.Text = e.Style.FormattedText;
            }
        }

I don't have any grid.

I just want to know how can I format the display members of my items of my combobox without change the query which give me my DataSource.

Thanks a lot.

Hi Mike,

There is no direct way to format the display members of the items in the combobox.
