way to return letters like a,b,c,d,.......,x,y,z,aa,ab,ac,ad,.......az,ba,bb,bc,bd,.......bz, in visual basic. I am adding them to the headers of a datagridview. Sort of like excel numbers the headers on columns.

If not, is there an alternative way to return the count of the capital letters within a string?
how to add the row headers to the Datagridview? We can normally add Column headers from the Properties. But there is no option for Row headers. Can we add them through the IDE? Or we need to do it dynamically?

I want to number the rows in my datagridview. Basically the users want to know how many rows they have posted, so they can stop at a certain number.So I have done several web searches all giving the solution I came to on my own, but still nothing is showing! it's almost like there is a property I need to set to show text in the row header, otherwise it's somehow disabled or not visible, but I am not sure what!!!

View 4 RepliesIs it possible to customize the Datagridview headers format? I mean the column and row headers.
View 4 RepliesI use a datagridview where the rowheaders frustratingly stay blank after I load the form. If I modify/add/delete anything the rowheaders pop up. then when I sort by clicking on a columnheader the rowheaders become blank again. all these actions (load/add/modify/sort) go through the same refresh function. I can't seem to figure out why the rowheaders sporadically show up. they should stay visible all the time. btw, datagridview.refresh() doesn't work

I am exporting the data in a DataGridView control using the Excel interop. It is working fine, except that it is not creating the headers. How do you include the column headers with the export?
View 2 RepliesI am working on a windows application using VB.net 2.0 and want to create a custom ComboboxControl which displays multiple groups. I was able to display the items in Custom combobox with headers. Below is the sample.
Header 1
Item 1_1
Item 1_2

I want to prevent users from selecting the header items. I managed to revert back to the previously selected item if user selects the header item. Problem with this approach is drop down collapses and then reverts back to previously selected item. Is there a way to check, if the item being selected is a header item and if it is a header item, do not collapse the dropdown. Basically I want to implement behavior of HTML select list with optgroup.
1_1 1_2 1_3 2_1 2_2 2_3

View 1 RepliesI am developing a project using VB2010. In the attached example I created a Form.
On tha form I put a GroupBox Containing a DataGridView.
I am trying to set, at Design time, the ColumnHeadersDefaultCellstyle Font of the grid, defining the Font, the size and the style (Bold). After saving the project or running it, The Font properties of the grid headers are changed to the Font properties of the containing
GroupBox.
Why is that so? How can I set, at Design Time, a different font for the Grid Column headers and the GroupBox?
To demostrate the problm - Try to modify the Font of the grid headers, in the attached example,
to "Bold" "Size 12", Run the application and see the result.
I have a datagridview with 4 columns bound to a datasource. In the first column the user can only type numbers, in the 2nd, 3rd and 4th only letters (done with keypress and editingcontrolshowing).
Now I want that the user's input in the last two columns automatically gets converted to capital letters, regardless whether he is using Shift or has Caps Lock turned on.

My only problem is that when I double click a cell in the 3rd or 4th column (those where I want uppercase letters) and then one in the 2nd column, the text in the cell in the 2nd column is showed in uppercase letters too.
Note: It only shows the already present letters in uppercase. If I type extra letters they will get normal font (so lowercase if I don't use shift or caps lock, and uppercase if I do use shift or caps lock). If I don't type any letters and unselect the cell the text changes back to as it was before selecting.
If I double click another cell in the 2nd column (after i clicked one in the 3rd or 4th column and then one in the 2nd column), the present text stays the same, so it don't get showed in uppercase letters.
how it comes that only the first time that I double click a cell in the 2nd column after i clicked one in the 3rd or 4th column the present text gets converted to uppercase letters and, more important

I'm keeping track of some things that are numbered and others that are lettered; while NumericUpDown is perfect for selecting numbered things, I need an analogue for selecting lettered things. The obvious choice would be a listbox that just contains all the letters of the alphabet. But I need to show only the appropriate range of letters, so if I want to use a listbox, I need to write a function that populates the listbox with the first n letters of the alphabet; if n > 26, it should continue with aa, ab, and so on. How do I do this?
