I have a datagridview with 3 columns. The second column is a combobox which I want to bind with a dataset. How do I go about setting the column index for it as I am doing something like this.
Dim ComboCol As New DataGridViewComboBoxColumn
ComboCol.DataSource = SDS.Tables(0)
ComboCol.ValueMember = "Specie"[code].....
I can't seem to set the selected index or selected value of a DataGridView combobox when loading data from a database. My DGV has two combobox columns which are bound to datatables. The DGV itself is not bound initially. After adding a row, I select a value from each combobox which then populates the rest of the cells in the row. I'm using the EditingControlShowing event to add an eventhandler to catch the SelectedIndexChange of the combo boxes. This all works as needed. My issue comes when populating the DGV with saved data, I need to add the rows and set the selected index and/or selected value of each combo box. I've searched through various forums and articles for the last week with no luck.
I'm using VS2008 sp1, .NET 3.5 sp1 and SQL 2005 sp2 Express.
I have a datagridview which has mixed values in one column. Is there a way to add a control into the Value cell depending on the row? For example, for Name and Age row, it will be a regulator textbox but for the Products row, I want to be able to add a combobox.

View 1 RepliesI migrated a project from VB 2005 to VB 2010. I have a datagridview binded to a dataset populated by the MySql Connector. One of the columns, with integer values, is displayed in a datagridviewcombobox type column. In VB 2005 it worked perfectly. But now, once migrated to VB 2010, the column doesn´t show anything. If I change the type a a textboxcolumn type, it does show the data. The column in the dataset is Integer, and the column in the datagridview is Integer also. But, strangely, although the value of the cell (when debugging) is Integer 1, the formatted value is String "" (empty). If I add integer items to the combo manually, the formatted value is the first added item, but still string, and not equal to the value property. It is the same whether the column is designed and added programatically or visually with the editor of the datagridview. It seems a bug in the combobox type.
View 14 RepliesI'm trying to figure out how to set the index of a combobox column in a datagrid view when I load it from SQL Server. The combobox has a string in the text field and an index in the value field, and I want to set the selected index to match the value to an ID in the row from SQL. Not really sure how to bind it that way.
View 9 RepliesIs there a way to find the column index of a datagridview column using the columns DataPropertyName?I currently use a loop (shown below in the class) which is kind of ugly, but it works. I'd like to do something like this, which seems more elegant.My goal is this, I store the users DataGridView column settings (i.e. DisplayIndex, Visible, & Width).When the user opens the form that contains the datagridview I want to get those settings from the database and apply the settings to the datagridview.[code]

View 2 RepliesI have a DataGridView containing a large number of columns. I want the users to be able to select multiple columns and then select a menu item to hide the selected columns. For example a user might selected columns 5 through 10 and I want the program to hide those columns. I know how to hide columns, one at a time. I can get the count of selected columns but I have not figured out how to get the index to the left-most selected column. Trial and error is such a slow process.
Considering the huge number of options offered by the DataGridView tool, it would be nice if this forum had a special category for the DataGridView (common to VB and C#).
Finally I got the desired results but it took a lot of coding, looping through the selected cells to find the one with the lowest column index, then a second loop to count previously-hidden columns, then a third loop for hiding the selected columns, stepping past previously-hidden columns and declining to hide frozen columns.
I have datagridview with XSD as the binding source (i configured it with the smart tags). After build, the dgv change its columnIndex which surely result error of my code.
For example
columnIndex(0) = idEmployee (dataGridViewTextBoxColumn)
columnIndex(1) = name (dataGridViewTextBoxColumn)
columnIndex(2) = status (dataGridViewCheckBoxColumn)
suddenly, the columnIndex(2) moved into columnIndex(0)
I am trying to sort a column in DGV as follows:
DataGridView8.Sort(DataGridView8.Columns(0), ListSortDirection.Ascending)

DataGridView8.Sort(DataGridView8.Columns("Date").Index, ListSortDirection.Ascending)
I can set the value of a combobox on a form by using ComboBoxName.Text = "SomeText" but how can I do this if the combo box is within a datagridview? When I type DataGridViewComboBox the .text property is not listed. If I try to force it, I get an error.

I have several forms that have a DataGridView object in them. I recently discovered the AllowUserToOrderColumns attribute. I set it to true and I can reorder the columns at will. The problem is that the order for these columns is lost once the form is closed. Ok, how do you save the order for these columns and then restore them to the form once it has been reopened?
View 4 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 have a DataGridView control with two columns:
colName
colAnnounceURL
I also have a ComboBox that I need to bind to the colAnnounceURL in the DataGridView. So everytime I add new rows to the DataGridView, the ComboBox will be updated with the items in colAnnounceURL.
I have tried the following to no avail:
cboAnnounceURL.DataSource = dgvTrackers
cboAnnounceURL.DisplayMember = "colName"
cboAnnounceURL.ValueMember = "colAnnounceURL"
The code does not cause a crash but does nothing.
Both controls are visible to the user. The idea is to have DataGridView act as AnnounceURLs manager and ComboBox to set the active AnnounceURL.
