Answer 1

What is `BattleScreen1.ComboBox1` ?

Answer 2

a dropdown box. Battlescreen1 is a usercontrol on form2.

Answer 3

Does it give you any error when it shuts down?

Answer 4

well, it doesn't shut down, it just doesn't reach that one line in the code. I set some breakpoints in there, and after I set the valuemember, it didn't go to the next point and just ran. However, the combobox was invisible, but I could still click and use it.

Answer 5

Or rather, how do you even know what is being reached or not?

Answer 6

You are using properties of ListControl but they're a ComboBox?

Answer 7

Oh, I see, it's inherited stuff

Answer 8

yee.

Answer 9

could the Display Value Members be taken?

Answer 10

not sure what you mean

Answer 11

like is "id" being used for something else.

Answer 12

it's not. It's just a property of Enemy.

Answer 13

Hmm, maybe print out those properties first, just to see what happens

Answer 14

unless you can tell through debugger

Answer 15

well, the ID loads into the combobox just fine, but the combobox doesn't display correctly, and the labels aren't changed like they should be.

Answer 16

I'm probably just setting the property wrong, but I'm following the MSDN documentation's example, but I dunno.

Answer 17

shouldn't `labels()` do what the last line is doing anyway?

Answer 18

that was just a test, but yeah, that's what that's there for. I was seeing if it would work if I put that there after it, and it didn't.

Answer 19

Okay, it shouldn't even be displaying the IDs, should it? It should show the names

Answer 20

yeah idk what's up with that, but that's what it's doing. Even after I set the displaymember to "name", it still said it was "" in the watch list.

Answer 21

does labels work if you run it before you add the combo box stuff?

Answer 22

it does, but the combobox is still invisible ;_;

Answer 23

There are a lot of things worth trying to figure it out, like creating a more simple array and trying to get that to work
