Change The Three Dots (ellipses) (...) To Custom Characters In DataGridView When Cell Content Is Truncated?
Dec 15, 2010
In DGV, if the contents of the cell is truncated, the DGV shows ellipses (three dots) (...); but as the font is set to a Gujarati font, it displays a Gujarati alphabet "ઈઈઈ" instead of "..." because the Gujarati character "ઈ" is coded with the English "." (dot) character.In Gujarati font, "." can be generated with the English character "P".So, How can I change the ellipses to English "P" character? OR How can I remove the ellipses completely?I have found a similar solution by berc on Tuesday, August 31, 2010 1:33 PM :but I am not sure it is the perfect and/or the only way to do so, AND it will really work or not
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.
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.
I have a custom datagridview control. I am loading data into it row by row. The control does not resize its cell width to its content. It only does so if I set autosize column property to Fill or AllCells. The problem is I can not use autosize because its killing my performance as I am loading large amount of data into the grid.
The cell does not display the contents completely, it just clips it. e.g for "sampletext" it would display "Samplet..." .
I want the cell to be resized according to the cell that contains the longest string value.

i have windows form datagridview that is already populated with data, what i want to achieve is to count cells with particular value in the grid.
here is what i have done so far;
Dim cellvaluescount As Integer = 0 For Each cell As DataGridViewCell In recordGrid.CurrentRow.Cells If cell.Value.ToString = "Absent" Then 'if cell value is Absent
I am using a software that grasp information from web-sites. But I want to something on those information. For doing that, it allows me make a VB script. Actually I have never studied any Vb code. But i found a solution for my project. The data from that website is for exmp. "1.02.30" I want to change first dot into semi colon and the second dot into comma, namely "1:20,30". I found replace function and it works if i want to do "1:20:30" that. But I have to change first dot into semi colon and the second dot into comma.
I 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'm trying to show a custom contextmenustrip on my datagridview and it works fine except when the cell is being being edited. Then it shows the default windows contextmenustrip with copy/cut/..Is there a way to overwrite the DataGridViewTextBoxCell contextmenustrip or disable it? The solution from Disable DataGridView System ContextMenu does'nt work for me.

I am trying to display a custom control in a datagridview cell so that I can show nicely formatted information.
I am quite comfortable with the use of datagridview control accepting a list of objects as its datasource. I am also comfortable with populating the cell contents in the cellformatting event.
So I am planning to, instead of using a normal textbox control, button control and linkedtext control in datagridview cell, display my own custom control which is good one for displaying some custom data like, name, address, telephone, photo and others. It would be a nice improvement in my application.
Well, the title pretty much says it all. I have a user control that is a a collection of six label controls. three are used as visual color indicators, and the other three are used as the corresponding value for each color indicator. (It's sort of like a legend key on a chart or map.) I have created a custom class to store the three values, and the associated methods to interact with the values. (I can probably use a structure instead of a class, but right now, I don't want to discuss that.) My problem, is that I want to show my user control inside a cell of a DataGridView. I've looked at the examples that create a MaskedTextBox DataGridViewCell, but I can't seem to get it to work. Here is what I have:
I have a custom dgv column and custom cell.I m trying to instance the column and pass it an instance of the cell as a template, but it's not working.my code needs a form with a button and dgv on it. When the button is click, the text in cell(0,0) should toggle from on to off. [code]
I've been trying to customise a datagridview but no luck so far, thing is, i want some of the cells to not have the same grid colour and width as all the rest of the grid. Do you guys know how can this be done? I know it is possible cause i've seen it before but i have no clue how to accomplish that.
I have added a custom Control to my project, but every time I edit it and rebuild the form that I use the custom control in adds the project name in front of the control and won't compile. i.e. Project name = MyProject, Custom Control name = MyControl. When I rebuild the project after editing my control I get an error, MyProject.MyControl doesn't exist. If I remove the MyProject from the line it compiles and runs fine until next time I edit the custom control.
I can't figure out what I would be doing wrong to cause this, or why it is putting the project name in front of the control, but then not accepting it. I am also struggling figuring out how to change the back color on an individual cell in an Datagridview Combo Box. The style.backcolor property of the cell doesn't seem to do anything.
I have a datagridview in which I am dynamically creating the rows and columns. I'm trying to set specific cells font to bold and not sure how to do it!Below is my code and what I'm trying to do.
I would like to change the backcolor of the cell in a row based upon the value of a checkbox in another cell. The value of cell 2 would be a checkbox, so it is either true or false. If it is true, then color the backcolor of just cell 1?

I have a bunch of columns in a datagrid view (date, transaction type, amount).If the amount in a row is '150.00', I want to make that cell red.I made a Private Sub and run this after the datagridview is filled.
Private Sub ColorCells() Dim ColumnCount As Integer ColumnCount = dgvLedger.ColumnCount - 1[code].....
However it seems to have two bugs. When it is first run the first time when the form is loaded, it doesn't put the rows with 150.00 in it in red.If I have a button on the form and set it to run this Private Sub, then it runs through it again and will color the ones in 150 as red.If I resort the datagridview by clicking on a column, they all return to green again, and it looses the formatting.
I have retrieved data from access database into a DataGridView .Let us suppose i am in Row 0.When i change the Contents of Row 0 Cell 1 and press a button the Update query should modify that row but i am unable to modify the value of the cell.The cell maintains it's previous value and the database is not modified .For example if i change the contents of a cell from "David" to "Jhon" how can i change the value of the cell from "David" to "Jhon". I am using VB .Net 2008. How can i get the text changed in a particular cell of a DataGridView
I have retrieved data from access database into a DataGridView. Let us suppose I am in Row 0. When I change the contents of Row 0, Cell 1 and press a button, the Update query should modify that row, but I am unable to modify the value of the cell. The cell maintains its previous value and the database is not modified. For example, if I change the contents of a cell from "David" to "Jhon", how can I change the value of the cell from "David" to "Jhon"? I am using VB.NET 2008.
I need to pull data from a database into a DataGridView, problem is the status field is stored as a 0 or 1. Not very useful to the end user.ere is my datagridview;

I handle the validation in the CellValidating event, and if the cell is invalid display an error message, then cancel the exit of edit mode. However I would also like to erase the content of the cell currently in edit mode.
I have a datagrid view with 8 columns. How do I change the background color for any cell in columns 2-5 where the value equals the value in column 8. For instance:
I have a DGV I am working on, and I have many columns.
For example I have Columns colIsDayOff (Checkbox), colStartTime(Time), colEndTime(Time)
What I need to do is if when my DGV loads the data if colIsDayOff is checked, then make the value of the Start and End time columns blank, invisible, or something.
I have a DataGridView that has been dragged over from the DataSource Tab. All works good.I need to have the background color of some of the cells changed based on other columns in that same row. Such as, have the background color of a cell Red if the Status column (not shown) relates to 90 days overdue. The next row may be different.
There is a DataGridView, I find I can only edit controllers of cells by column.I have set one column as Combox, but I want to change one of cells in this column as Button, and add then add left-click and right click event on this button.
at the moment i can change the datagridview combobox cell style using the cellvaluechanged event handler using the following code: Private Sub DataGridView1_CellValueChanged(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal System.Windows.Forms.DataGridViewCellEventArgs) Handles DataGridView1.CellValueChanged If e.RowIndex <> Column1.Index Then
I am filling a DataGridView from a table in SQL Server 2008. There is one column that is a string which contains either "YES" or "NO".When I run and display the DataGridView it displays perfectly. For the User's benefiy, if the field contains "NO" I want to put some emphasis on it by changing the fore color and back coler of the entire row. In the DGV the index for field is (4).I tried this code which threw an error on the word "value" inthe block that fills the DGV.
