Combo box items not displaying

djam · March 9th, 2005, 12:51 PM

I have a simple combo box with some values in it for the drop down. I can't see those values inside of the drop down but they are there, its like the font is set to clear because i've tried changing the font color and background color but still can't see a thing. I am able to select a value from the drop down even tho I can't see it and it will appear in the text field.

I've create a solution with just a combo box and some values inside of it and it still doesn't work. I've downloaded some examples and they don't work. Is there a setting on my .NET which is doing this? I've tried putting a refresh for the combo box and that doesn't work.

Hello,
I think you may try to uninstall and reinstall the Visual Studio .NET or may be the windows itself, I don't know, that may solve the problem, good luck :)

Make a new application and put a combobox in it and add items to it thru the ITEM COLLECTION property.
If it shows the items correctly then you know that the problem lies in your program only. try it.
Do get back if the problem persists.

Try this...

Code:

using System;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using System.Drawing;
public class MyForm : Form {
public MyForm() {
            System.Windows.Forms.ComboBox cb = new System.Windows.Forms.ComboBox();
              cb.Location = new Point(45,80);
              cb.Size = new Size (232,20); 
              cb.Font = new Font ("Verdana", 10);
              cb.Text= " Select One Option ";
              cb.Items.Add("Freshers");  
              cb.Items.Add("Less than 6 Months");  
              cb.Items.Add("From  6 Months To 2 Years");  
              cb.Items.Add("From  2 Months To 5 Years");  
              cb.Items.Add("From  5 Months To 10 Years");  
              cb.Items.Add("Above 10 Years");  
              this.Controls.Add(cb);
}
public static void Main(string[] args) {
MyForm f = new MyForm();
Application.Run(f);
} 
}
