IDE :: DataGridView: Set The Cell Width To Its Content?
Apr 16, 2008
I have a custom datagridview control. I am loading data into it row by row. The control does not resize its cell width to its content. It only does so if I set autosize column property to Fill or AllCells. The problem is I can not use autosize because its killing my performance as I am loading large amount of data into the grid.
The cell does not display the contents completely, it just clips it. e.g for "sampletext" it would display "Samplet..." .
I want the cell to be resized according to the cell that contains the longest string value.

What I am trying to do is fill the contents of the datagridview with the cell contents. There are two ways to do this.
1) Either set the DGV width to the cell contents width, or
2) Autoadjust the width of the cells to the width of the DGV.
how to implement either of these two approaches?

I have a comboboxcolumn in a DataGridView. I have loaded int with string data that appears in the dropdown box. I have added an event to it for an SelectedIndexChanged. What I am trying to do is autosize the width of the cell in the column based on the string chosen in the drop-down box within this SelectedIndexChanged event. This seems to work but it does not work off the initial selection change. When I select the desired string in the dropdown box the width of the cell does not autosize. I am not sure why.
I was trying to get around this by wrapping an IF stmt around the autosize logic by saying if cell value = "" then cell.width = Max Width of all loaded strings/ However, I can't figure out how to access the string array loaded into the dropdown list

In DGV, if the contents of the cell is truncated, the DGV shows ellipses (three dots) (...); but as the font is set to a Gujarati font, it displays a Gujarati alphabet "ઈઈઈ" instead of "..." because the Gujarati character "ઈ" is coded with the English "." (dot) character.In Gujarati font, "." can be generated with the English character "P".So, How can I change the ellipses to English "P" character? OR How can I remove the ellipses completely?I have found a similar solution by berc on Tuesday, August 31, 2010 1:33 PM :but I am not sure it is the perfect and/or the only way to do so, AND it will really work or not

I want to be able to hide the left hand side of the screen and right hand side of the screen at the beginning of the program.
Then when the user presses create new button the left hand side of the screen becomes available so they can create the new item. Then when they press save it comes back to the middle datagrid only.
Then I want to add an event when the double click on the datagrid row (data is programmed in to the datagrid in the code) the right hand side of the screen becomes visible then when the button allocate is pressed the right hand side disappears again just leaving the datagrid.

Have this code so that when a checkbox in a column of my datagridview is checked, then the corresponding cell in column 2 (of the same row the check box is in) will turn blue with font color white.
[code]...
I'd also like to add a line so that as well as the cell going blue, the bottom border of the cell disappears, so cellborderstyle = none.

I have a DataGridView with several columns. One column is a TextBox column named "Status". This column can only show one of three values: 'Final', 'Ready', or 'No Reportable'. I want to have some code that would turn the TextBox cell into a ComboBox cell when the user left-clicks on the cell to allow the user to choose one of these three options. When the user clicks elsewhere or the cell loses focus I want the cell to change back to a TextBox cell.
Here is what I have so far, but the code throws an exception indicated below Plus, I don't think the code would remove the combobox when the cell loses focus.
Exception: "Provided cell does not belong to this DataGridView control."
Private Sub dgvCalculatedResults_MouseDown(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs) Handles dgvCalculatedResults.MouseDown
Dim ht As DataGridView.HitTestInfo = Me.dgvCalculatedResults.HitTest(e.X, e.Y)

I have a datagridview and it has 8 columns as textboxcolumns. I am handling their cell validation with cellValidating event.
My question is that if cell validation fails for 3rd column of the datagridview then the focus should move from 3rd column to 1st column of the datagridview. How can i do this?
I have tried datagridview.column(0).selected = true, when validation for 3rd column fails, but this is not working. Focus still moves to the next cell. I can stop the focus to the current cell with e.cancel=true but i want it to move to the very first cell of the datagridview.

I have a DataGridView where Cell_Validating is being done. I have a Cancel button on my form that allows the user to exit out of the DataGridView changes. The problem is that if a cell was currently flagged as in error, I cannot exit and remove columns from the DataGridView. I get the following error: Operation did not succeed because the program cannot commit or quit a cell value change. Is there a way to cancel the validation once the focus has been removed from the DataGridView? Here is my Cell_Validating

I have a databound DataGridView, and I'd like to keep one column in front, with a slightly smaller width than the default. The grid's AutoSizeColumnsMode property is set to Fill so that the columns fill out the entire grid. This makes the first column equally large as all others, which is why I need to set its width manually. The smaller column is the first one with the checkboxes. I have two grids that I need to do this with, and for some reason it works just fine with the first grid, but gives a null reference error on the second grid...
Here's the code for the first grid (working fine):
vb.net
Public Sub UpdateTodoGrid()
' Load todo items
todoGrid.DataSource = _TodoManager.LoadAll()
' Set backcolor
For Each row As DataGridViewRow In todoGrid.Rows
[Code] .....
As you can see, the code is exactly the same (except for not setting the BackColor of each row and not using the ReadOnly property*). When I run this code, it gives me a null reference error ("Object reference not set to an instance of an object.") on the line where I set the column's Width. Obviously 'col' is not Nothing (otherwise it would have errored before that line), and there's nothing else there that could be Nothing... I assume that something happens internally in the grid when you set the width of a column, and that there is a null reference there, but obviously I have no control over that.
The grid's are absolutely the same, as the second grid is just a 'copy' (meaning I copy/pasted it in the designer) of the first. So all their properties are equal. I thought maybe the ReadOnly properties were the problem, but I tried putting them in in the same way and the issue did not go away... The first grid is not ReadOnly (because the checkboxes need to be editable), but all rows except the first are, while the second grid is completely ReadOnly.

But is there a way i can "Text Wrap" the top header column and lock in the width, then it should print across one page perfectly.
