I have a datagrid with 5 columns.2 of these columns will have data entered into them automatically - depending on the entries of 2 textboxes.I can disable these 2 columns ok.How can I have it so that the tab key doea not enter the cells of these 2 disabled columns. ideally I'd like the tab to enter the cells of the abled columns only.
View 4 Replies2 of the columns have data added to them separately from 2 textboxes so I want to disable these 2 columns and also have it so that when I tab through the cells the cursor does not enter the disabled columns but goes directly to the next enabled column of the row
View 2 Repliesi want to prevent users from entering numbers and other characters such as (_,"*&^$#).... into my textbox-u know what i mean! I want my textbox to accept only alphabets. I have written a function that is able to check the numbers but i don't know how to check whether the text contains those special characters. Here is my code for the numbers. i'm sure, just as i'm able to check the numbers. i'll be able to check for those characters.
Public Function ValidateText(ByVal GetString As String) As Boolean
Dim Count As Integer = GetString.Length
Dim i As Integer
[Code].....
The app uses several forms to let the user enter information. In each form the info is entered into textboxes and dealt with elsewhere when the "Enter" button is clicked. A lot if the info entered is used in calculations and so must not contain alpha characters, only numbers. What is the best way of examining each entry and identifying any that are not numbers, so that I can ask the user for a correction with a MsgBox?Prevent Users Entering Letters Instead of Numbers?
View 10 RepliesI have a project that uses a number of DataGridView controls. Most of the cells are of the DataGridViewTextBoxCell persuasion. I declare my controls like so:Dim MyCell as DataGridViewCell Later I specify whether they are DataGridViewTextBoxControls or DataGridViewComboBoxCells like so:
MyCell = New DataGridViewTextBoxCell MyCell = New DataGridViewComboBoxCell None of the places in my code require the ability for the users to enter their own values in the Combo Boxes. That is, they are either hard-coded or the values are gathered from other data within the application.
Currently, users can highlight a combo box control defined as shown above and begin typing anything they like. For example, I have one combo box that offers the user a selection of integers between 1 and 9. I can highlight the combo box cell and enter "Hello, World!" if I'd like.What does it take to disable this ability? I'm sure there's a property, but I have yet to find it. I have searched the Internet, and have found only the ability to have user-entered values added to the list and a stream of data-binding tutorials.
I am using a database (access) were i am not using a primary key field. I would like to prevent the user from entering records , if certain fields allready exsists.
I would like to check for 3 of the fields. When these 3 fields has been filled previously with the same data as the new data, i want to return a message.
I am looking at the fields txtWeeknumber.text & txtTopic.text & txtSubOutCome.text

View 3 RepliesTitle pretty much says it all. Does anyone know a way to to prevent a computer from entering a low/non-processing mode while the program is running? I don't care about monitor modes, screen-savers, hard-drive spindown, etc (in fact, I'd prefer to leave those alone; I like it that it shuts the monitor off after a time period).Basically, I have an industrial program that needs to continually monitor a PCI card it uses for IO; and this activity alone isn't enough to convince Windows not to go into Sleep mode. We normally just shut the power-save features off, but we had an incident where a technician forgot, a customer's machine went to Sleep after the end of the shift, the pumps stopped recirculating, yadda-yadda big mess.

I have created a custom control to handle the editing of certain cells within my datagrid, I basically have a - and + button with a value inbetween ie. - 1.25 +
as I click on the + or - the value goes up or down, now the values come from an array and are paired, so if I adjust the value of row 1 I want the value of row 2 to reflect the opposite pair from the array.
this I have working well, the problem come when I click off the editing control on row 1 and into the cell on row 2, a new editing control fires but shows the value from row 1.[code]...
I have this test form where I'm testing the idea, but ran into a snag. Now the main idea is to load all the data from a dataset into the one column of the datagridview. This works perfectly as shown in the image. Now there is something that I want to happen, but just can't get it right. when on the DataGridViewComboBox Column I also want to be able to type in my own data if the one I want is not available in the combobox.
Also if there are 50 values in my combobox and 2 of them are:
jacky, jacson
When I type jac, I want the combobox to only give me the options starting with "jac"

I am building an application that needs to store different time of day values in dateTime fields of an Access database.I am trying to enter the time value's via a DataGridView using TextBoxColomn s.The coloms are formatted with the defaultCellStyle property to show only the time part of the datetime.After i save the entered data and look in the database itself, i see not only the time, but also the (current) date in the datetimefields. This raises a problem when i want to compare the timevalues later on in the functionality of the program i am building.(Of course it is simple to seperate the date and time part in coding of the program, but it would be more elegant (i think) if i could just save only the time part in the database (and have the date part of de datetimes left to 0))I have tryed via the CellFormatting and the CellParsing events, but no luck.I am new to visual basic and probebly missing out on something.

I'm implementing drag and drop functionality between two datagridviews. This works as intended with one exception: it is possible to drag and drop within the same datagridview. This results in duplicated rows. I want to limit the functionality so that I can only drag from one datagridview to another.[code]

View 4 RepliesI have a datagridview. If the user adds a new row, and then clicks away from the grid. How can i stop them from doing this?
I want them to finish the row add first or cancel it. I want to then update the table adapter in the grid's leave event.
If the row validation fails, i want to display a message and re-focus to the cell in question.
The first problem i am running into is that the focus continues to go to the control that the user clicked on to move away from the grid.
How do i cancel that event?
As an example, if the grid is on a tab page and the user clicks on another tab page, i want to prevent that page from displaying if there is an error on the row that is being added to the grid.
I was hopeing for a cancel option in the lost focus event of the grid.
I tried the following code but it did not work.
Private Sub PasswordDataGridView_UserDeletingRow(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.DataGridViewRowCancelEventArgs) Handles PasswordDataGridView.UserDeletingRow
[Code]....
the Datagridview is included in first tabpage. first tabpage is the search form and the second tabpage is the record detail view. user is switching and working between those two continuously.
The problem is that everytime user selects the tabpage1 the datagridview repaints itself. there is about 6000 rows in datagridview so it takes about 2-3 sec to paint itself. I know the delay is normal and can't avoid that. but it affects the tabpage selection. tabpage1 isn't selected completely until the Datagridview1 finishes it job. in this time the tabpage1 and tabpage2 gets combined and confused.
is there a way to put datagridview processing in backgroundworker or something that doesn't affect main UI ?

How do I disable copy from a DataGridView. It's a silly security feature.
View 1 RepliesI have a dialog that gets called from time to time. It is only created once, and then shown or hidden. Depending on the current conditions, when I display it, I need to disable the controls on it so that the user does not make any changes.I have code that checks the condition and sets the enabled property to false for the controls. There is a DataGridView control on the dialog, and for some reason, it stays enabled and allows changes. Does anyone know why, or what I need to do to get it to not accept any input?
