Change Column Width In A Combobox Associated With A Dataset In Net?
Sep 30, 2011
I have a ComboBox with its datasource being a dataset from a SQL Server database.
The width of its columns are relative to the width of the name of the columns. I would like to increase that width in order to see the content properly and not cuted.[code]...
when ever the form resizes I want my combobox (placed in a toolstrip) to increase or decrease in length to make sure it fits. Say it's about 500px before the combobox and I need about 200px after it. How would I do this? I've tried the various methods for the textbox, but I can't get it to work with the combobox.
I have a datagrid on my form that has a dataset bound to it via the datagrid properties Tables collection. I have the PreferredColumnWidth property of the datagrid set to 75. How can I change the column width in code to match my column header text?
it's possibly to bind the values in a combobox to a column in a dataset? If so, how would I go about doing it? For example, If I have a column named 'Names' in a DataSet, each comboBox item would be a name from that column.(There will only me at maximum, 10 entries)
I have a combobox which is populated from a dataset (pulling values from the column Actuator_ID). When an item is selected from the combobox, I need to return another value from the dataset (column Gateway_Channel). In the 'selectedindexchanged' sub, I have the following line which should return the value from the second field (gateway_channel) but whatever item is selected in the combobox, only the value from the first row is returned. errBox.AppendText((ds.Tables("Actuators").Rows("Actuator_ID" = ComboBox3.SelectedItem.substring(0, 2)).Item("Gateway_Channel")).ToString
In VB.NET for the combo box, I have set the autocomplete mode to "SuggestAppend" and autocomplete source to "ListItems". Its working as expected. But the width of the autosuggest dropdown box is not same as that of combo box and so it looks weird.I tried changing the value dropdown width property but it changes the value of normal dropdown box (seen after clicking down arrow on combobox), and not the autosuggest dropdown box.So what code or property needs to be set to make autosuggest dropdown box the same width as that of combobox width?
I have 2 table in my dataset i want to add both table column names to the combobox.. how can I add the other table to the datacolumncollection?
'gets column names from typed datset and uses as combobox in datagridview Dim columns As DataColumnCollection = DataSet1.Tables(1).Columns Dim column As DataColumn
This Winforms app has a toolStripComboBox within a MenuStrip container that displays Culture Info languages.The toolStripComboBox's width is not expanding to accommodate the size of the string. The strings are dynamically added to the combobox from underlying code. How do I get the comboboxe's width to expand? Below is an image of the'too narrow' combobox and below that the Properties for the combobox.
I am retrieving data from a table and displaying it in a datagrid, how can I make the columnwidth variable depending on the size of the text field being returned and do it in the code ?
Actually, I'm not looking for the way to expand its width.I have a combobox with a given width.It may occur that one row of the data is partially hidden. I'd like to show the whole line by using tooltip or right-click context menu.What do you think? What's the best approach for this scenario? Anyway, I can't find how to 'catch' the row that I'm currently holding on or passing over by mouse.
I have a gridview with autogenerated columns that I set programmatically I want to format the column width. This is my code for my gridview in code behind...
If Not Page.IsPostBack Then Dim budgetTable As New DataTable("Budgets") budgetTable.Columns.Add("Approval Date", GetType(Date))
How set a width for an individual column in DataGridView? I make my datagridview fill. But the problem is The column index 1 is not fit on the datagridview. How can I set an assigned width so that I can managed the spaces.
I want to set header column width for grid view. I tried HeaderStyle-Width="30px". But it is depending on Item columns. The column width is setting based on item value. But I want fixed width even if it has value or empty.
I'm at the Studio 2008 stage in migrating from VB6 to Studio 2010. My application appears to run OK for the most part, but my MSFlexGrid display's single column is just 8 or 10 characters wide -- it should span the entire grid display (i.e., have the same width as the grid).The Studio 2008-Upgraded code sets several grid properties correctly, but the statement ".ColWidth(0) = .Width" (in the scope of a With block) causes an error. So does the statement ".TextMatrix(0, 0) = string".
Not only are these properties not included in the upgraded control (now identified as AxMSFlexGrid), but some column-related properties are greyed out in the properties list. My grid size was set originally by cursor drag, and the present .Size sub-properties of .Width and .Height are set to the numbers 593 and 329, respectively. (My form has a fixed size and is user-moveable but not user resizable.)
A ListView Column's with is set to -1 meaning its width is automatically set the width of the widest cell text in the column. I need the width automatcally set but I'd like to know the actual width of the column.
