I have a DataGridView bound to a DataTable which has an Int16 DataColumn. The DGV has a DataGridViewComboBoxColumn tied to the DataColumn.
I enter integer values in the Items section of the DGVCBColumn properties. When I run the program I get "DataGridViewComboBoxCell value is not valid".
I assume this is because my Items are text and the data column is integer so I created a List of Integer, added my integer values/choices to the list and made the List my data source for the ComboBox column. Same error.
I then created another DT in the DS with one column type Int16, added my integer choices to the DT, created a BS for the ChoicesDT and set this BS as the DataSource, the column as the DisplayMember and the ValueMember. Same error.
There are no issues like this when the DataColumn is bound to a ComboBox outside of the DGV so I assume there is some issue with the DGV understanding the underlying binding.
I have an error but will explain how i set up my db:Two tables, One is called Area and the other Postal_Code.
The aim is to assign a postal code to the area.Sometimes we add postal codes and sometimes these codes change or need to be deleted.I used the wizard to create the datasets and dropped them on two forms linked to a SQL db.We can Add,Edit,Update & Delete so all is working fine there is no relationship between te tables as they dont need to be linked, I only require the PCode to me added to the Area Table, not any ID or Index etc.
One of the fileds in the Grid on the Areas form is the Postal Code, its set to a combobox that when the user is adding it gives them a selection of postal codes to select from.I get the error when loading the datagrid on the Area form: System.ArgumentException: DatagridViewComboBoxCell value is not valid This happens only when the postal codes are changed or deleted in the Postal codes table.
I know what causes the error - the dropdown on my Areas form looks for the value in the Postal Code table and does not find it beacause it has either been changed or deleted.Im doing this manually - I go into SQL and remove the postal code data from the record.Then the form loads with no errors.
Q: Is there any way when the Datagridview loads that I can tell it when the PCode does not exsist in the Postal Codes table that it should rather leave it blank and warn the user that there are errors they need to fix befor they can save.
The problem I have now is that I can not get the value selected as a combobox, I'm trying to set the text and value to each item in the combobox of each cell in the datagrid.
On a form I have a DataGridView. Inside this DataGridView i have several columns of which one is combobox and the others are textboxes.The combobox column is populated with values from a MySql database table using a query. So far so good. What i want next is to populate a certain textbox from that DataGridView, automatically after a value from the combobox is selected. When a value is selected from the dropdown list of the combobox, that value is used in a SQL query to find the value that will be displayed in the textbox.All the textboxes and the combobox are inside the DataGridView!)I did this using DataGridView EditingControlShowing event because a DataGridViewComboBoxCell does not have aSelectedIndexChanged event.The value is displayed correctly in the textbox, but the problem is that the value selected from the combobox disappears after the selection, and the combobox remains empty. I need the value to remain in the combobox after it was selected and after the corresponding value was inserted in the textbox!Here is the code for this:
Code: Private Sub test_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load 'Populating the combobox
I have come accross many scenarios of handling datagridviewcombobox events, however none seem to fit my scenario, or I may be missing something.1. I need to capture the column index that the combobox is resident in. This is because I have a complete row of comboboxes that should set the header text to the selected value.here is the code I have so far:' I also use a list of string as datasource publicly declared
Public cs As New List(Of String) 'to insert the combo's into the grid Dim row As New DataGridViewRow cs.add("Book") cd.Add("Author")
[URL]..But I can't design a solution. Could anyone try to help me out here? I know there are some workarounds to be found, but either the links are dead (check above link) or it's writter in a language I still can't read. Here's my code.
I have a DataGridView with two DataGridViewComboBoxColumns. I want to use the selected item in the first column to trigger a re-population of the items in the second column, on a per-row basis.
Here's the code I have so far. "addlInfoParentCat" identifies the first column, and currentRow.Cells.Item(1) is the DataGridViewComboBoxCell that I want to re-populate. ExtEventAdditionalInfoType is a type I defined that contains the string/value pairs.
Private Sub dgvAdditionalInfo_CellValueChanged(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.DataGridViewCellEventArgs) Handles dgvAdditionalInfo.CellValueChanged Dim currentCell As DataGridViewCell
I want to have a DataGridView that has two columns.The first column will always be of type DataGridViewComboBoxColumn. Based on the selection in that column, I'd like to be able to change the corresponding cell in the second column to either a DataGridViewComboBoxCell or a DataGridViewTextBoxCell.I'm thinking I just need to make the second column of type DataGridViewColumn, but don't understand the mechanics of how to change the cell type on the fly.I'm working with VB.NET in Visual Studio 2005.
Update: One way around it, I suppose, is to make the second column as a DataGridViewComboBoxColumn, and change the attributes of the cell so that it either behaves like a drop-down list, or as an (editable) drop-down with no elements. The latter looks enough like a text box that I could live with it, and it wouldn't involve changing the type of the cell.
I'm getting some data from a database and I'm setting them to a DataGridViewComboBoxCell. I also need to set the Tag property of each DataGridView ComboBoxCell item to a specific value, so later, I can query the DB with those two items.The issue, is that I can't seem to figure out how to access the DataGridViewComboBoxCell Item's Tag property.[code]I wrote it on the spot and it wasn't until later that I realized that I'm setting the Tag property of the DataGridViewComboBoxCell itself and not the DataGridViewComboBoxCell's Items.
I have a TextBox column in my DataGridView. When the user clicks one of the cells in the column I turn that cell into a DataGridViewComboBoxCell and fill the items using the columns Tag property which is a 1-dimensional array with 3 items. This is what my Tag looks like:
?CType(sender, DataGridView).Columns(e.ColumnIndex).Tag {System.Array} (0): "" (1): "No Reportable Result"
I am using VB 2010 Express to create a windows forms application with an unbound DataGridView. The DataGridView has multible columns, two of which are ComboBox Columns. I would like to make the borders of the cells be bold when selected as some type of indication to which cell is the current cell. It is possible that I overlooked something completly but I could not seem to find a property that would allow this to happen.
My solution was to create a custom class which inherits from the appropriate DataGridViewCell type (e.g. DataGridViewTextBoxCell, etc..), in that class I override the Paint sub. There I check the selected property and draw a rectangle using the cell bounds.
This works with every type except the DataGridViewComboBoxCell. On the columns of this type I receive an ArgumentException on the call to the Paint Sub. Even if I just have an empty class that only inherits from the DataGridViewComboBoxCell.
Again, it is quite possible that I have overlooked somthing and am making the a lot more complicated than it needs to be.
Given a datagridview, using complex binding I have a datagridviewcomboboxcolumn that displays data from a different table. My question is: when the dropdown list of the comboboxcell is shown is it possible to display a different text than the DisplayMember, lets say more detailed?I search for a solution but could not find any.
I have a DataGridViewComboBoxColumn, and want to switch the style of the ComboBox control between DropDownList and DropDown (mainly for the text field editing capability). I'd like to do this on a row-by-row basis (at the DataGridViewComboBoxCell level).How would I do that programatically? Or maybe a different way of asking: How do I access the ComboBox control given an object of type DataGridViewComboBoxCell?
I've tried pretty much everything to solve this problem (except what works, obviously) and almost worn out Google, so now I'm giving this forum a chance. Basically I'm making an application which needs to map column names in an excel spreadsheet to fields in a table (TableB) through a data transfer setup table(TableA); To make this work as planned, I need to compare a value in "FromField" in TableA with headers/column names read from an excel spreadsheet into a list of strings, and if they match, map "FromField" against "ToField", prior to importing data from the spreadsheet. The column names that don't match with "FromField" are to populate a combo box in the FromField column in my DataGridView.
PROBLEM: I get this to work fine as long as I don't handle case differences (e.g. "FieldToBeImported" in Field1 vs. "fieldtobeimported" as header in spreadsheet), but this prevents matching words with case differences to be mapped, and leaves it to the user to manually map fields that should have been mapped automatically. However, if I make a ToUPPER copy of the List Of String that contains the MS Excel column names and compare them to a ToUpper version "FromField" data, I get the error message from the topic:
"System.ArgumentException: DataGridViewComboBoxCell value is not valid"A little explanation on DataGridView2 before diving into the code: Column in index 0 is a DataGridViewComboBoxColumn added in code, where matching fields in column 0 and 1 are mapped, and non-matching fields are populated in the combobox.Column in index 1 is "ToField" (TableA as source), Column in index 2 is "FromField" (TableA as source) and is hidden in runtime.
Dim cListItems As New System.Collections.Generic.List(Of Combobox_values) cListItems.Add(New Combobox_values("One", "1")) cListItems.Add(New Combobox_values("Two", "2"))
I have a Class MessageIndex which holds an integer. I have a custom DataGridViewComboBoxCell which has a MessageIndex variable. If the MessageIndex is not set, the cell acts as a normal DataGridViewComboBoxCell; if the MessageIndex is set, then the GetValue and SetValue methods of the DataGridViewComboBoxCell are overridden so as to return the value of the object from its DataSource at the index of the integer stored in the MessageIndex.
As far as I can tell from stepping through the code, that actually works fine. The object returned by the GetValue function is fetched from the DataSource, based on the integer stored in the MessageIndex.
The problem is that when the DataGridView is displayed, all of the cells are blank. The values of the cells can then be set using the ComboBox dropdown, which appears to work fine.
But why are the initial selections not being displayed? As I say, as far as I can tell, the correct information is being retrieved by the GetValue function of the DataGridViewComboBoxCells when the form is initially displayed. It's just not ending up on the screen.
I am working on a periodic table of elements with buttons for each element-done next step. textbox + chemistry formulas = grams to mole conversions/ moles to L/ moles to molecules. The problem I'm having is dimming the chemicals Arsenic(As) and Indium(In). I need to dim these as integers = to their atomic mass G/Moles. But I am not able to Dim them because they are highlighted in blue and the help tip comes up as "keyword is not a valid identifier" is there anyway I can tell VB to not use "In" and "As" how it normally does and use it for integer values?
I instaled vb.net 2005 and when i want to see my old project that has been created by vb.net 2003 (when i click on one of the forms that i created) vb.net 2005 show me this error "
One or more errors encountered while loading the designer. The errors are listed below. Some errors can be fixed by rebuilding your project, while others may require code changes.
I was debating on placing this in the Office Automation section, but I think that the error is actually unrelated to concepts in Office Automation, and instead related to VB.Net.
Anyways, I have been programming a Metrics application for the past few months. For all intensive purposes, I have just completed the programming. However, I recently started to get the error "Specified cast is not valid". You can see the stack trace below:
Quote:
Message: Specified cast is not valid. StackTrace: at Microsoft.Office.Interop.PowerPoint.OLEFormat.get_ Object() at Metrics_Application.Utilities.PrepareGraph(Present ation mainPres, String ObjectNum, Int32 slideDiff) in C:RSNF MetricsMetrics ApplicationMetrics
[Code]....
I am passing into the method the Powerpoint Presentation object, the string specifying the Object name of the graph Ole Shape, and an integer for the slideDiff (to help differentiate which slide the method is modifying). Also, for context, I am using this to automate a PPT presentation, using Powerpoint.Interop COM objects.
I have tried to research this on various forums. Typically, it seems like this problem is found when accessing databases, or when someone tries to put a string into an integer variable (or another type of incompatible variable type). Looking at the code, I always bring in the string for the Object Number...so the variable type is correct there.
