I've embedded a form into another form by changing the Top Level property. My problem is that the new implementation does not allow me to edit the DataGridView at runtime. Here's the code I'm using from my main form:
Dim f As New form2()
f.TopLevel = False
Me.Controls.Add(f)
f.Show()
f.showRows()
f.showDbvHeader()
When I call the two methods on the onload event in form2 they run OK for the remainder of the event but as soon as it ends, the DGV reverts back to default.
I have a form e.g. Form1 , which displays a datagridview. 1) On form load, the datagridview doesn't have any data 2) The user clicks on a button called filter, this opens a form where the user can specify parameters to filter the data by 3) This form calls a setData() in Form1, which fills the dataset with the data
This works fine. If I click on a button called controlPanel it launches another form and hides this. E.g. dim cp as new ControlPanel() this.hide() cp.show()
On the controlpanel I have a button that links to form1. If I click on it. E.g. dim frm as new Form1() this.hide() frm.show() It redisplays Form1 but without any data in the datagridview.
I think the problem is that since I am creating a new instance for Form1 it comes up with the blank Form1. Is there a way to redisplay Form1 so that it retains the data that was displayed last, without having to retrieve the data from the database.
Dim p As New System.Diagnostics.Process p.StartInfo.WindowStyle = ProcessWindowStyle.Hidden p.StartInfo.CreateNoWindow = True p.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = True p.StartInfo.FileName = "cmd.exe" p.Start()
Does that mean that i could show it again? if so, is there a code that can do this?Also, if i wanted to get the window that the user is currently in, how would i be able to hide that?
When my login screen loads, if the user has not created an account the form will close and a form to create an account will appear. However when I code this both forms stay visible, instead of just the one. Where am I going wrong?[code...]
I've just upgraded from Visual Basic 6 to Visual Basic 2008 Express Edition.
1. Show anothor form (ie. Form2)
2. Close Form1.
At present when I use the me.form1 , but both Form1 and Form2 both closes.I would like to press a button or on a timer, to show Form2, while closing Form1.
I am trying to show or hide tabpages as per user choice. If user selects gender male then form for male in a tabpage "male" should be displayed and if user selects female then similar next form should be displayed in next tab "female"I tried using
tabControl1.TabPages.Remove(...) and tabControl1.TabPages.Add(...)
It adds and removes the tabpages but doing so will loose my controls on tabpages too... i can't see them back. what's the problem here?
The idea is simple, if I have a string value "ABCD" then with a ButtonClick event it should randomly reveal a char while others are hidden. i.e, "B*" another click would "AB**" and so on. So far, my I have been stuck in a for loop.
I have a form that searches a db. Some searches will always result in one row of data, others might return multiple rows. I want to have the data from a single row shown in text boxes and the multiple rows show in a datagridview is it possible to hide/show those depending on the amount of rows.
I am using a MDI parent to house each of the forms in my application. I have a main form and 2 sub forms. The sub forms are opened using the code below. Also, when I am finished entering info into these forms, i am hiding them so that I can reopen them with the same info still entered.
The problem is that when i show the form again, it is blank. Why would this be the case? I am never closing or disposing the form, so shouldn't it just unhide easily?Showing the sub-form(savingsfrm1) and and hiding the main form(riskfrm1)Public savingsfrm1 As Savings

basically i have a form with loads of controls. So many infact it stretches the whole hieght of my screen.I only need half these showing since the rest are just a sort of 'log'I have seen ti done loads, that only the controls i want to show at start up are displayed then when some one hits a little button in the bottem it expands the rest leaving them showing to.
I have a form which has a picturebox and after clicking on a button another form will appear with a picture box containing the exact same picture. I use this line of code:Image1.Image = vImage.Image..The thing is after I do this i need to hide the form and show it again to be able to see the changes.[code]
It is times like these that I miss the old VB6 language I wish I could hide the current forn and show another form which - this is the important thing - to be on the same level that the previous form was . You see , I used to use this code :
Me.Hide Form2.Show However , sometimes in VB .NET this does not work the way I want it to . You see , the current form does get hidden and Form2 is shown indeed ; however , Form2 is shown somewhere in the background . If there are other programs opened at that time , then Form2 is shown behind all those programs , that's what I mean by saying I want it to be shown in the same level as the previous form was the only way out , I found , was to reverse the code :
Form2.Show Me.Hide In this way Form2 is successfully shown right where the previous form was shown (above the other programs) but in some cases this also is not pleasant because it might take some time for Form2 to load while at the same time the previous form is still visible on the screen and therefore for a slight time both forms are shown one over the other , which is surely not nice . That's why I still want to first hide the first form and later show Form2 .
I'm having an issue with my app where IE will get brought to the front of the screen when I am switching between forms. Basically I have a form with the man menu which consist of a few command buttons that will start up another form once a user clicks on the button. I do not want the users loading up multiple forms in my application, so once they load one form I end up hiding the main form. So my code looks as shown below when a button is clicked.
I'm trying to write a simple datagridview to excel. (I know there are lots out there but I can't find this one tweak)The following code runs well enough, I just need to be able to run a loop that says if a given row in the datagridview is .visible = false than I need the corresponding row in the excel spread sheet to become hidden.[code]
I have two datagridview's both are databound. First one shows items for sale and the second stores all the items that were sold. I am trying too transfer selected rows from one to the other but no matter what I keep getting told "Rows cannot be programmatically added to the DataGridView's rows collection when the control is data-bound."
I have a datagridview and once I populate the view with the data source I hide the columns that I do not need. For some reason the 1st column is not hiding. I have checked the column name and they match and the 2nd line executes fine hides the column for the EVENTID. I even did a messagebox.show( dgvTourOther.Columns("OTHERID").name) and it returned the correct name.
The values being passed are all strings. I do this on 3 other datagridviews ok but for somereason this gridview is acting different. I am going to try an rearrange the columns and see if that helps.
am binding the datagridview with datatable, actually I am converting a dataview to datatble after applying the filter. After binding my datagridview, I am trying to hide the first column and I am getting an error "Index was out of range. Must be non-negative and less than the size of the collection.Parameter name: index"Below is my code. I have two rows and 22 columns. The first column name is IndexID and want to hide that column
Private Sub bindGrid(ByVal dv As DataView) Try Dim ChatsChild As New edsChildim dt As New DataTable dt =
How would i delete only the successful inserted rows for insert and then move the non successful rows up and allow the user to correct the data and get it ready for an insert. If i dont delete the successful rows then i will have multiple inserts of the same dataRow and we dont want that! AND if i dont move the data up then it will have blank rows uptop and will end the try and not insert the corrected data. You can better see what logic i am trying to perform at the bottom of my code, right after I insert into the database. Here is my code.
Private Sub btnLaserGenerateTicket_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnLaserGenerateTicket.Click 'Function declarations

how to add Rows programmatically to the DataGridView's rows collection when the control is data-bound? here is my code but i got error as "Rows cannot be programmatically added to the DataGridView's rows collection when the control is data-bound? "
I've got a Child form being shown with it's TopLevel property set to False and I am unable to click a MaskedTextBox control that it contains (in order to bring focus to it). I can bring focus to it by using TAB on the keyboard though.
The child form contains other regular TextBox controls and these I can click to focus with no problems, although they also exhibit some odd behavior: for example if I've got a value in the Textbox and I try to drag-click from the end of the string to the beginning, nothing happens. In fact I can't use my mouse to move the cursor inside the TextBox's text at all (although they keyboard arrow keys work).I'm not too worried about the odd TextBox behavior, but why can't I activate my MaskedTextBox by clicking on it?
Below is the code that shows the form:
Dim newReportForm As New Form Dim formName As String Dim FullTypeName As String Dim FormInstanceType As Type
Can anyone tell me why "Rows cannot be programmatically added to the DataGridView's rows collection when the control is data-bound." I keep getting an error "Invalid Operation Exception was Unhandled" error. All I am attempting to do is allow the user to select products from a list(or a second datagridview) and have it added to the datagridview so they do not have to type in every cell since the other cells are not visible because they do not purtain to their needs. Plus they will be able to save all items at the same time.
It was even difficult coming up with a Question title for this.
Am not sure whether am using the right approach to my problem. See i have this datagridview that contains rows that i would like have saved back into the Database as new rows but with a column altered to a new value.
Eg
PKColumn1 FKColumn2 Column3 Column4 1 1
[Code].....
What am looking at is Change FKColumn2 (some foreign key, maybe i can also have a combo box somewhere on the form and an "import to") values to something like 2 and save the rows back to the database without loosing the original rows.
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:
[code]...
There are two alternative ways of handling the rows in the code. The first attempt (commented away here) is probably the "nicest".
In VB.NET 2008 I've two forms 1 & 2 containing two datagridviews connected to two data source 'ACCESS 2007 tables' Now I want to select multiple rows from one datagridview (form1) & transferring these to another empty datagridview (form2) with a button_click.
