View 3 RepliesHow set a width for an individual column in DataGridView? I make my datagridview fill. But the problem is The column index 1 is not fit on the datagridview. How can I set an assigned width so that I can managed the spaces.
View 3 RepliesI 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.
I'm using VB.Net 2008 application program. I'm using DataGridView. I have a Print option where I need to print the DataGridView. I'm using this code for Printing and for Print Preview.
Dim MyDataGridViewPrinter As DataGridViewPrinter
Private Function SetupThePrinting() As Boolean
Dim MyPrintDialog As PrintDialog = New PrintDialog()
MyPrintDialog.AllowCurrentPage = False
MyPrintDialog.AllowPrintToFile = False
[Code] .....
Attached the class I'm using for print.
I have 10 fields showing in datagridview. As the last 5 columns header is long, the datagridview is not fitting inside 1 page (not showing all 10 fields in one single page). 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. How I can "Text Wrap" the top header column and lock in the width to print across one page.
Once I read the property for DataGridView Column which allows Grid Column to adjust as per the data width. I can not recall it or find it.

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 need to redraw a button in a button column in a DataGridView. Nothing to complicated other than I do not want the width to be as wide as the column width. To do so I am assuming that I have to create a custom button column object which inherits from the ButtonColum. Then I am assuming that I have to over-ride the Draw of the buttton itself.

View 2 RepliesI'm at the Studio 2008 stage in migrating from VB6 to Studio 2010. My application appears to run OK for the most part, but my MSFlexGrid display's single column is just 8 or 10 characters wide -- it should span the entire grid display (i.e., have the same width as the grid).The Studio 2008-Upgraded code sets several grid properties correctly, but the statement ".ColWidth(0) = .Width" (in the scope of a With block) causes an error. So does the statement ".TextMatrix(0, 0) = string".
Not only are these properties not included in the upgraded control (now identified as AxMSFlexGrid), but some column-related properties are greyed out in the properties list. My grid size was set originally by cursor drag, and the present .Size sub-properties of .Width and .Height are set to the numbers 593 and 329, respectively. (My form has a fixed size and is user-moveable but not user resizable.)

View 3 RepliesThis problem has been perplexing me for some time now and I've tried various methods of implementing this but all have failed or have been very messy. There must be a recognised way of doing this On a form I have a treeview and listview control. The treeview allows a user to select a node and the listview shows the items within the node - pretty standard stuff. The possible columns (or subitems) list for each item in the listview is big (20 different columns in total). Some users will want to show certain information whilst others won't. Users will also want to customise column location and widths.
Implementing the customer location and widths is easy enough using standard My.Settings variables to store and retrieve the information. The problem is allowing the user to select which columns they want to be visible at any given time whilst still allowing for access to the relevant subitems.
The only method I know to achieve this currently is to set Column.Width = 0. This is not a good solution because the user simply extends the column out again from the user interface. I need to hide the column properly.I've been told that using a repository cache is the way to do this. Unfortunately the person didn't describe this properly and so I'm still stuck at sqaure one. My database access is achieved using Linq to Sql.
I want the ability to auto stretch the listview control column when the form gets resized in vb.net 2008 These are the properties I am mentioning for the ListView now :

I am increasing the width of control and not columns as I wanted. I am unable to find anything else than width.
