I have a access table column ("d") and rows with value Datetime. How can I ..... when form load make the datetime now ..visible. What is the code for making the rows with datetime value now start with index 0.
View 4 RepliesHow can I load a form and allow it to run it's code in the form load but keep it not visible. I want it to do what it needs to but but not display.
View 3 Repliesi write Me.Visible = false a statement in the load event of the form my application has only one form and it call itself to hide. but when i run the program it doesn't hide itself i put the breakpoint on the statement to see if it even executes or not. it executes fine but no effect what it suppose to do i also have a notification icon added to a form to see it running in system tray.
View 5 RepliesBased on code that executes in Form.Load, is it possible to disable displaying that form after the handler for Form.Load is complete? I'd like to have a commandline switch that disables showing the form, but still runs the application. I've tried this, but it doesn't work:

I am running a website for a F1 racing game, where users can submit their laptimes and compete with each other for the fastest time.
I am now trying to have my website create an image of the top-5 users every... 5 minutes or something, and copy it to the webserver somewhere I can link to. This way the image under that link will update with the latest information every 5 minutes.
To layout the times (these also include the position (1 to 5), the username, the platform, the time of course, and some more details) I am using a DataGridView. I could take the long route and layout the specific 'columns' manually, but I thought using a grid was far easier. I simply set some properties of the grid to make it look nothing like a grid (basically hide the column and row headers and grid lines and give everything the same backcolor). Then I load the times into the grid, and take an image of it using the Control.DrawToBitmap method.
This works fine, but it returns the entire grid. This is a problem because I made the grid extremely large (5000x5000) so that it can always accommodate the times regardless of the length of the usernames. So, the image I get is 5000 pixels wide while it only contains data in the first 500 px orso.
I am currently using the GetRowDisplayRectangle and GetColumnDisplayRectangle methods to figure out the part of the grid that actually displays the times, and use that to cut the image down to the portion I need.
But here's a problem: these methods only return something when the grid is on a form that is currently being shown! I am already giving the grid a parent form (even though I am just creating it in memory and it doesn't need to be displayed anywhere) because otherwise the data wouldn't load, but I was never showing that form. Now it turns out I do need to show the form, very briefly, in order to figure out the area that I need to take a snapshot from.
Remember that this is all happening on a webserver, so I'm not absolutely sure if this is a problem. Is it ok for a webserver to have a form popping up and down every 5 minutes? Or will this cause problems? I honestly don't know but I don't think it's a good thing. Moreover, it also pops up on my own machine when I'm testing, and it's damn annoying.
So my question is basically twofold:
1. Maybe I should ask this in the ASP.NET forum, but is it a problem to show a form briefly every 5 minutes?
2. Is there any other way to get these Get...DisplayRectangle methods to work without having the grid on a physically visible form?
Below is the exception code info. when I try to make form visible for the first time from another form then I get an exception code. something like 'a required variable not set'

CODE:
I'm having an odd problem when making a form visible and not visible and it not continuing to function. Here is what I have happening. I have a main form (frmMain) that is an MDIParent. On this form I have a menu to open a second form (frmCalculate) and populate a listview from Items in the database.
As I click or select items in the listview on frmCalculate the tag is read and data is pulled based on the id stored in that tag and fills in various fields on the form. This works great. However, I also have a context menu attached to the listview that allows me to perform a "what if" scenerio on the items I am calculating. When I select this menu, I hide the frmCalculate and open the frmWhatIf form where I can mess around with values on the item I had hilighted in the listview on frmCalculate. Nothing is pulled from or written back to the database here, all the information is filled in from fields on frmCalculate. It just allows me to look at rising costs and how they will affect my margins.... anyway.
If I then close frmWhatIf, it brings my frmCalculate back by setting its visible propery to true (never closed frmCalculate, just hid it). At this point if I click an item in the listview I get an exception for a null reference. IF however I never hide frmCalculate, I can open and close frmWhatIF without ever having an issue. Why do I lose the functionality to select items just by hiding and unhiding the form? As a test I added two menus to the toolbar on frmMain one called hide and one called show. I then opened frmCalculate with original menu item to populate the listview and selected a few items to test that it was working and then using the hide menu I made the form invisible and the show button to bring it back. This yielded the same exception so without even opening frmWhatIf the problem still occurs.
I have a dialog that containers a DataGridView, this dialog is opened from a parent Form. I would like the DataGridView to have focus as soon as the form is opened, so on pressing the down key would enable you to scroll down through the rows straight away. I have tried setting the tab index so that the DataGridView is the first selected item in the form. I have also tried calling the DataGridView.Focus() method in both the dialog constructor and the Form_Load event. I have also tried setting the

I wanted to select the row the user was last working on in the datagridview. So I created a setting to contain the row index. But then I had trouble using the form load event to select that row in my datagridview. It would always select the first row. I then moved the code into the DataBindingComplete event and it worked like a charm Example:
Private Sub dgvTaskList_DataBindingComplete(sender As Object, e As System.Windows.Forms.DataGridViewBindingCompleteEventArgs) Handles dgvTaskList.DataBindingComplete

PS, if you want to select the full row, make sure the DataGridView Selection Mode property is set to FullRowSelect.
I have several problems with rows in a DataGridView. Background information: The DataGridView (DataGridViewCalib) is in one TabPage of a TabControl, some columns of the DataGridView are automatically DataGridViewCheckBoxColumn as the DataSource have some colums which are Boolean. This is a Windows Form written in VB.Net with Visual Studio 2008. The user loads an input data file.
The problems:
1) At first arrival in the TabPage, ShowDataGridViewCalib (code below) is called. All rows are then shown in the DataGridView, despite the code saying that some rows should not be visible. Breakpoints in the code show that the code do arrive at the Rows.Visible = False events. Despite all rows beeing shown a Watch in the debugger shows that:

There are two alternative ways of handling the rows in the code. The first attempt (commented away here) is probably the "nicest".
I have a form consisting of datagridview and two buttons of update and load all.. I have used fillby method to obtain data from database. The query seems to be working fine, except that the data is not shown in the gridview.As in, for the qeury, if the returned rows are 2, it will show 3 rows in the gridview, but all empty.

I want to update the data by this code, but it refresh only the data in Form1
Private Sub btnSubmit_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnSubmit.Click
Me.Validate()
Me.SparePartsBindingSource.EndEdit()
Me.SparePartsTableAdapter.Update(Me.InventoryDBDataSet.SpareParts)
'Refresh
MainAppForm.SparePartsTableAdapter.Fill(MainAppForm.InventoryDBDataSet.SpareParts)
End Sub
No problem in updating the data if I put the code below in Form2 load event
Me.SparePartsTableAdapter.Fill(InventoryDBDataSet.SpareParts)
but the problem is, it will refresh all the data in the Form2, and my code in Form1 becomes useless.
Thanks in advance!

I have searched the web and this site for an answer but have not been able to solve this problem.I am not able to place a flashing cursor in a specified cell of a data bound DataGridView on Form_Load.My test project consists of a single Visual Basic 2008 form with a database created in Microsoft SQL Express 2005 using the Add New Data Source in the Data Sources window.The database has one table consisting of 2 columns.Column 1 being the primary key with Identity Specification set to On.The second column is a VarChar50.The DataGridView was placed on the form by dragging it from the Data Sources window thereby creating the Binding Navigator and the Private_Sub Form_Load code.I have added the code that should put the cursor where I want it.[code]

The insertion part of the form works great. But my problem is in the form load part......If i leave a field blank(Null),then perform Save operation,close the form after successful insertion and then reopen the form,then it retains the previous values during the form load......This is only in case where i leave a field blank in the previous data entry in the database.......But if i enter values in all fields then form load is working great.

everything is fine till here. it show selected records.
now, i have another text box on form which ask for id and search id in datagrid like this

i have a DataGridView bound to a table that has 22 fields in it. In the datagridview columns, the first 2 have the visible property set to false and the last 7 also set to false. This works since there are 13 columns displayed in the datagridview when the program runs. Here's where my issue come in. When I do the following, Console.WriteLine("Column count = " & DataGridView1.Columns.Count.ToString()), I get the expected "Column count = 22 in the output. However, when I do Console.WriteLine("Visible = " & DataGridView1.Columns.GetColumnCount(DataGridViewElementStates.Visible)), I get 20 instead of the expected 13 that actually have the property set to visible.

View 3 RepliesA DataGridView in my VB.NET 2008 program contains over 15,000 rows. I loop through the rows, totalling groups of rows and appending 'total rows' and one 'Final total row' to the DataGridView. That works fine. I want to initially hide all rows except for the total rows, giving the user the option to show all 'detail' rows. If i place the statement << dgvTitleCounts.Rows(intRow).Visible = False >> in the loop, execution time increases by three minutes and that is unacceptable.
I see two options: (1) find a faster way of making all rows invisible; and (2) place the total rows in a separate DataSet and bound DataGridView.
i have a datagridview which am display some data and i have also cell formating event which according to that data that are populate am changing the row format and one of my columns are of type image and am load an image depending on the row values.day by day the data in are become larger and when am trying to load that data to the datagridview is taking much time in order to display that data to the user.
1st ,when the event of cell formating is fired, is fired only for the visible area of datagridview rows? or is making changes for all the rows in the datagridview.
2nd , is there any way to load only data that are visible in the datagridview area and when the user scrolls down or up to query also the rest?
I've got a form that populates a DataGridView from an excel file. How would I filter that DataGridView so only the search criteria are visible. I need to search through 2 columns by all rows. I'm not very good with datasources I guess and can't figure out what all I need to accomplish this. DataSets, DataViews, DataTables.
