Prevent Moving To An New Cell In Datagrid If The Current Cell Is Empty
Aug 2, 2011
I have a datagrid that will be accepting data from an external measuring device via the serial port. The grid is also open to editing records as well. Part of the process of making this grid user friendly is to intercept the "enter" key and move to the next cell until there is a value in the cell. This is only for some cells, other cells can be blank. I have worked out how to intercept the "enter" key from another post on this forum. Here is the code:
The problem is that if you never enter anything into a cell for a new row then that cell is never validated. This is a problem because I have columns that should not be null. I am doing the check in the row level validation and storing the information about which cells are empty that should not be empty. The row level validation works fine and the row level validation error indicator goes on,(red exclamation mark at the beginning of the row) but I also need a visual indicator on the individual cells that are in error.
I am thinking that setting the HasError property for the cells that are in error should cause them to display n error style (the default red border). Is there a way to this this either from XAML (perferably) or from code?Alternatively I could cause those cells to re-validate when the row editing is finished. Does anyone know how to do this?
I am updating my last post so hopefully someone will help. I have following code that will move a cell to the next column when hitting the enter key while doing an edit. It will even check the row at the last cell to validate data is present.
However, if there is no data in a cell and I press enter, the focus moves to the next line like it normally does. I need to prevent the user from moving or clicking on any cell until the cell they are on has data in it. Here is the coe I have used[code]...
So I've got 2 unbound datagridviews, and am providing a push/pull interface where the user can move records from one to the other.
Grid A is read-only and the selectionmode is set to FullRowSelect. Grid B has a read-only DataGridViewTextBoxCell, an editable DataGridViewComboBoxCell, and an editable DataGridViewComboBoxCell.
Because the grids have different columns, but represent the same records, my notion was to create the datagridviews with the same column structure but hiding certain columns, and then just move the DataGridViewRows back and forth between the two, which seams to work.
The problem is that if I go into column 2 or 3 in grid B, I get "Current cell cannot be set to an invisible cell".
I can select cells in column A and I'm fine. It should be noted that on grid B the hidden columns are 4-7.
I know there's a problem when the CurrentCell attribute is set to a hidden cell, but I'm clicking visible cells. I inserted a breakpoint on the CellClick event of the DGV, and again for column 1 that works fine, but on columns 2 and 3 it looks like the error is occuring before the event even gets fired.
Is something in the background setting CurrentCell to one of the hidden cells before firing the event?
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 searched alot but can only find info on moving entire rows bound between 2 datagrids, but noting on moving single cells. I have some code below that works ok from DGV to textboxes but not from DGV1 to DGV2.
Dim i As Integer i = DataGridView1.CurrentRow.Index Form3.DataGridView1.Item(1, i).Value = DataGridView1.Item(0, i).Value
I am attempting to copy the value of the TimeStamp in cell A6 which has the NOW() formula into cell A5 Based on a change in Cell A4. The catch is I don't want it to update every time the sheet is recalculated due to updating links in other cells on the sheet. ONLY when Cell A4 Changes. What do I do?
I am trying to get the cell value from a particular cell in a DataGridView table but am having a little problem with the syntax.My research suggests that I need to use the command:
DataGridView.Rows.Item("Index of Row").Cells.Item("Name of Column").CellValue but when I create the command: x = DataGridView1.Rows.Item(0).Cells.Item("Dec").CellValue
I am building an excel address parser. [Code] Column B is my streetNumber and What I need it to do is anytime it finds a letter attached to the number it needs to move it from column b to column C. So if it ended up on B435 how do I get that value of "A" to be on C435 [Code]
vs 2005 sql 2005 developer/I have a datagridview with 4 columns .I want the user to be able to use the arrow keys to move through the rows and just two of the columns.I want the other two rows to behave like a label that cannot get the focus. Nor be selected.I have been messing arround with the "cell enter" event but the language wont let me set the selected cell from within that routine.
I have a datagrid control on my form that receives data from a device on the COM port. I strip out the data I need and put it into the currently selected cell. When I load the grid, I find the first empty cell and set the focus so each load presents the user with an empty cell to start receiving data. Once I get the measurement, I need to move to the next cell down (like hitting enter in the grid). This will allow the user to do measurements with the external device without having to move to the next cell.
I have the following code that checks if the value in a cell contains a nummeric value.
Private Sub dgvOrderRegel_CellValidating(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.DataGridViewCellValidatingEventArgs) Handles dgvOrderRegel.CellValidating Select Case e.ColumnIndex Case 4 'Aantal If Not IsNumeric(e.FormattedValue) Then
I am working on my datagridview to get the current cell value from the column. I have three columns which I want to get the cell value from the second column.[code]...
When the first cell of an excel sheet to import using ExcelStorage.ExtractRecords is empty, the process fail. Ie. If the data starts at col 1, row 2, if the cell (2,1) has an empty value, the method fails.
how to work-around this? I've tried adding a FieldNullValue attribute to the mapping class with no luck.
Here is a sample project that show the code with problems
IF cursor leaves column 0 and row 0 then it displays msgbox but I want to check where column 0 and row 0 has value or empty In case of empty cell it must display msg as msgbox("this is empty cell")
I am using this code at the last line of my form load. I want the position 5,5 to have the cursor set at it. It works when then datagrid is already open:[code]However, when I use it on the form load, you can see that it was selected on the datagrid, but the cursor is set at textbox1...which happens to have the first tab order on the form, even though I have acceptstabs off. Can anyone tell me why this would happen? Basically, it is setting the cursor at the cell I want, but after the form loads, it jumps to textbox1 and highlights the text.
In my form there is a DataGridView, the user select information in the DataGridView then there are text boxes that needs to be filed in. So this is what needs to happens if the focus is on the DataGridView when the user hits the Tab key it moves the focus to first text box. Then once the user hits the last tab box it returns focus back to the DataGridView but to next cell. Initially figured this would not be a problem and did this code;
Dim PreviousCell As DataGridViewCell Private Sub DataGridView1_KeyDown(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs) Handles DataGridView1.KeyDown
