[RESOLVED] [02/03] Controls Data Binding

[deien]

I'm using VS 2003, and my problem detail is, I bind data to a set of controls e.g. Text Box, Combo Box...
But I don't want the first record to appear on the controls upon opening of the form, and I want to initialize my controls with blank/null values instead.

is there any possible way to do it than setting the "text" property of each and every control one by one?

Please help me.. Thank you so much.

It's not possible, to the best of my knowledge. The CurrencyManager's Position property controls which list item is selected in the bound controls and it only accepts values from 0 to (Count-1), which means a valid item index must be selected.

But still, can I use the setting of values as blank/null to the controls one by one?

No. Once your controls are bound it's not possible. You could set the SelectedIndex of a ComboBox to -1 but any changes you made to a TextBox would still affect the last bound record.

Is that so.. Ok then, maybe i'll just let it that way.. thank you so much.
