Combobox binding 2000 pictures

Mazz · August 30th, 2010, 08:18 PM

I'm really stuck here. I need a combobox to display 2000 pictures and when I click on any picture, it should display in a picture box. Here's my code but its not working..

Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
Picbox.BackgroundImageLayout = ImageLayout.Zoom

For index As Integer = 1 To 2000
cmb.Items.Add(index)
Next

End Sub

Please help me out ASAP. Thanks!

Hi

your current code loads the Combobox with values

You need to write the code for selecting and showing the picture in Combobox's Click or Change event

hi thanks for the reply. But now I'm confused how do I write the code for selecting and showing the picture?

If you look at your code more closely, your firing the "Form Load Event"

But your saying you want to display the picture when an item is clicked. Thus stating that you want to fire the "Combo Box Click Event".

Your current code ONLY handles the form load event, you need your code to handle the combo box click event. So in your form design view, double click the combo box and it'll bring up the code view and create a new sub routine handling said event.

It'll be something like this:

Code:

Private Sub cmb_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles cmb.Click

'select the image to display corresponding to the index selected

End Sub

Okay?
