I've used the following code, taken from here, to create my own custom column for datagridview, so that I can now have images and text in the same cell:

It works very well, except that the image that I use is right at the edges of the cell. I'd like to give it a small margin. How can I do this?
I came across this great article on creating a custom datagridview column which creates a graph-like effect in the cells of a custom datagridview column:[URL]..Does anyone know how you would edit this to format the number in the cell as a percentage? And does anyone know how you would set this up to take 0 values which do not create any graph effects at all.I have been trying to do this but keep getting errors.
View 1 RepliesI came across a post a while back which showed a custom rich textbox control which had line numbers in its margin. Similar to what you woudl see if you we coding in the VB designer and you had your line numbers viewable.
I think it was two controls in one (i.e. two textboxes: one for the numbers, and the other for the text). However I cannot remember where I saw it.
I'm trying to create a custom DataGridViewColumn and DataGridViewCell, and have found this article to be a great resource. I'm done creating the DataGridViewColumn class and the DataGridViewCell class, however, when I try to edit the type of the column, my new custom classes don't show up as one of the options. My DataGridViewScheduleColumn inherits DataGridViewColumn, so I'm not too sure what I'm doing wrong. Is there anything else I need to do to expose these classes to the IDE?[code]...

View 2 RepliesI believe that my questions are all going to revolve around the internal workings of DataGridView.While this is specifically written in VB.Net, it is definitely a general Visual Studio object question generically related to anyone working with .Net.I've been trying to find a forum where I can get some interaction and help to move forward.Microsoft's websites seem to be all questions and no answers.
I'm using VB.Net under Visual Studio 2005 SP2.I need to have a DataColumn that is dynamically visible based on other data in the same DataRow.After a lot of unsuccessful testing with various methods of accomplishing this, I came across the concept of Custom Cells/Columns.I started with several slightly varying examples and everything seemed to be falling into place. I tried to research each property and attribute as I incrementally learned a lot about the internal workings of Windows controls in general and DataGridView in particular.
The confusing symptom is that as I scroll down through the grid, the painting of the custom cells is at best unreliable.I created a minimum test case to eliminate as many variables as possible and I combined all of the source into one Form1.vb as follows:

I have a Datagridview with a bound datatable in it. Then I add a check box column to it.
When I click the headder of the DGV, it sorts the bound columns, and clears all checked checkboxes in the checkbox column.
How do I bind the checkboxcolumn to the rest of the table?
actually i have 3 fields in database which are Sid Fee status what i want to add combo column in field [status] with two option PAID or UNPAID which a user can select and update it .i am all clear with filling the datagridview from database and updating but only problem is adding a combobox in third field that is status.
i tried it with this
Dim combo As DataGridViewComboBoxColumn
DataGridView1.Columns("combo")

I'm working on VB .NET 2008.
Target: Bind dynamic datasource in a cell of a Windows.Forms.DataGridView depending on the selection in previous column. The grid must have 7 columns. If the selection on comboboxcolumn 2 or 4 is done, the datasource of comboboxcolumns 3 and 5 mus change using a query with previous selection as parameter.
In a first try to develop this functionality i've tried to use Telerik.WinControls.UI.RadGridView control. I've created a customized celltemplate with a combobox in order to have different datasource for each cell on the same column. All worked fine but seems to be some kind of bug in RadGridView, because when the combobox is presenting the list, after selection the list continued showing, doesn't dissapears as expected.
Ok, after several days of fight with RadGridView, I give up, and I tried to use same strategy but using Windows.Forms.DataGridView. I've created two classes one inherited from DataGridViewComboboxCell and other from ComboBoxColumn, in order to insert my own combbox or have the chance to have access directly to the combobox values. But the combobox showed is the default combobox not my own combobox.
how can I create a custom comboboxcell but using my own combo, and having access from outside to this combo?

1. I have a DataGridView box, that is connected to a MySQL database via the 'Data Source'. I am trying to do the datagridview1.rows.add("info here"), however i receive an error i cannot do this programmatically. I DO know the code to post to MySQL via the "insert into" la la la.However, I was curious if I can do this via the datagridview a bit..easier/simpler, such as a "datagridview1.rows.add(stuff)" sorta thing.
2. I am attempting to make a custom control, and as with ANY control, they have their.. settings. Example, a textbox, or label, has so you can set the Text. and color, etc.Others, have it (such as datagridview) have the little icon on the control itself, where you click it, and it opens a small window with settings.
I have created a custom column type for a datagridview. I have created a class for the datagridviewcolumn and a class for the datagridviewcell. Within the datagridcell class I am using the following code for the font.Dim fnt As Font = parent.InheritedStyle.Font How do I change this so that I have control over the font color for that cell? I am fine with the font just not the color.
View 1 RepliesI am trying to add a checkbox column to a DataGridView in a simple window forms application.
I am pulling back some data from a database using ADO.NET, putting into a datatable, and then setting the datagridview datasource to the datatable. I then want to add a checkbox column as the second column. So far I have this code that seems to work:
' Code here to connect to database
Dim da As New SqlDataAdapter(cmd)
Dim dt As New DataTable
[Code].....
This code 'works' and I get MyDataGridView to show the data with the checkbox column in the correct position in the table.
However, for some reason, I cannot check any of the check boxes in the DataGridView? I have tried lots of things (e.g.altering the readonly state of the column) but cannot get it to work.
i have a datagridview and in one of the columns i m storing the amount on button click...i want to add the values of the amount at that time only i have done this but it is displaying 0 in the required textbox total += Form1.DataGridView1.Rows(counter - 1).Cells(6).Value

Add persistence to multible DataGridView in terms of Hide/Show column and column width
View 1 RepliesIt seems that on clicking datagridview column header, the column will be automatically sorted based on the column type. I have a column showing some numbers. If column type is string, it sorts "1","20","3" into "1","20","3". If column type is double, it sorts into "1","3","20" which is the result that I want. However, there might be some erros in the numbers and error messages(text) will show in the cell instead of numbers. So I cannot set the column type as double. I want to ignore these error messages and sort all the numbers. How can I do this?
Also, I need to add some background colors to different rows in datagridview. So in the column header click event, I call the bkgColor Sub to achieve this. My question is that how can I override the sorting method in this event?

Am using the Entity Framework and Columns Completed and Taken are of bit Datatype. When the query results are displayed in the datagridview, these bit columns are returned as of ColumnType Textbox - so i get a Datagridview textbox column with true or false string values.

how can i change this in code at runtime
