VS 2008 Change The Datagrid Cellstyle Alignment Of A Column?
Feb 8, 2010
I am trying to change the datagrid cellstyle alignment of a column in the designer. I set it to middle right but then I run it and it still aligned to the left. I have a lot of datagrids in my application but there are few that doesn't accept any alignment settings which I don't understand at all, can't see any reason, I been looking through the options if there is anything but can't find anything. I just need one column of cells to be aligned to the right whatever I do all of the columns are aligned left and there is an option in the defaultcellstyle that is sat to middle left, but when I try to change it to Not Set it doesn't change.
I have a datagrid that I am populating from an Access 2000 query in Visual Basic 2008.
This code works fine: With dgvCollections .Columns(0).Visible = False .Columns(1).Width = 235 .Columns(2).Width = 230 .Columns(3).Width = 220 .Columns(4).Width = 70 .Columns(4).HeaderText = "Loan" End With
The query works fine, except that I want to change the alignment for one of the columns. I tried to add this line before the "End With": .Columns(4).DefaultCellStyle.Alignment.MiddleCenter()
Which causes the error: "Access of shared member, constant member, enum member or nested type through an instance; qualifying expression will not be evaluated."
I have an VB.Net ASP page that I have a datagrid on it with 5 columns and a few rows of data. The page will show the data and grid just fine. I need to now apply alignment to the datagrid columns. dgLast5Bills.DataSource = dtBill dgLast5Bills.DataBind() dgLast5Bills.Columns(0).ItemStyle.HorizontalAlign = HorizontalAlign.Center The code above will error out when it hits the line for the alignment.
How could I change the column header of the Data Grid to center or right but not left as default? [We are talking 'bout Data Grid here, recently I always receive answers for Data Grid View instead :( ] I just want to re-align the header only, not the whole column. There's another topic discussed bout this already but it's not working in my case. Here is my code:
Public Class Form1 Private Sub DataGrid1_Paint(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.PaintEventArgs) Handles DataGrid1.Paint
I have this strange phenomena in which I load an Excel file. The Excel file consists of data arrange in columns having a column header. Once some computation is performed and another file is loaded into the datagrid, the column order of the new file changes .i.e the column header is changes its position from its original Excel file.
da = New SqlDataAdapter("SELECT * FROM employee_log WHERE log_datetime >='" & objdate1 & "' AND log_datetime <= '" & objdate2 & "' order by log_datetime", cn) ds = New DataSet

I have a datagrid on my form that has a dataset bound to it via the datagrid properties Tables collection. I have the PreferredColumnWidth property of the datagrid set to 75. How can I change the column width in code to match my column header text?
I am trying to the first column in a listview to have right alignment.
I made this test VB in a new Windows form project:
Private Sub Form1_Load(sender As System.Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
Dim listview1 As New ListView listview1.Size = New System.Drawing.Size(210, 210) listview1.Location = New System.Drawing.Point(10, 10) Me.Controls.Add(listview1) listview1.View = View.Details
i want to know how to change the text alignment example text from left to middle in listbox also i would like to know how to make the text appear automatically when i run the program
how do I set a column of a datagrid so that it will only accept numbers? I have this column labeled "Grade" which of course, should not accept letters. I have done setting its Format property but it is not working.
logic on coding a checkbox column on a Datagrid on a Windows Form. What I want the Datagrid to do, is once the checkbox is checked on the Datagrid, to enable several other columns also on the Datagrid. I think I almost have it, but I cannot figure out how to id the checkbox.
I hv an application... it is used for preparing invoice.... i hv used a datagrid in my winform to enter items in the invoice.... in datagrid i hv 4 columns, 3 column is textbox type and one is combo box type.... so how can use enter to move from one column to another in datagrid ....
I got a datagridview that gets filled from the database. One of the columns OSorderDate needs to be formated like this - "dd/MM/yyyy hh:mm:ss" but I don't know how to apply this to the column of a datagrid. The column type is DataGridViewTextBoxColumn.
It seems that on clicking datagridview column header, the column will be automatically sorted based on the column type. I have a column showing some numbers. If column type is string, it sorts "1","20","3" into "1","20","3". If column type is double, it sorts into "1","3","20" which is the result that I want. However, there might be some erros in the numbers and error messages(text) will show in the cell instead of numbers. So I cannot set the column type as double. I want to ignore these error messages and sort all the numbers. How can I do this?
Also, I need to add some background colors to different rows in datagridview. So in the column header click event, I call the bkgColor Sub to achieve this. My question is that how can I override the sorting method in this event?
Private Sub DataGridView1_ColumnHeaderMouseClick(sender As Object, e As System.Windows.Forms.DataGridViewCellMouseEventArgs) Handles DataGridView1.ColumnHeaderMouseClick Try
How would I change the text in the last column in the listview. I was thinking of looping around the lsitview but that would just change ever item. Anyways this is what I have.[code]
I am using sqlserver2005.Table1 has a column named bill_no and its type is textNow I want to change its type "Numeric"When I do this the it displays this error message
I have a datagridview setup called TS_Input, where I setup a cellformatting handle event, like so:
Private Sub TS_Input_CellFormatting(ByVal sender As Object, _ ByVal e As DataGridViewCellFormattingEventArgs) _ Handles TS_Input.CellFormatting
[Code]....
The if statement above always evaluates to false. When I debug looking at the output, inheritedstyle.backcolor always returns the default empty color. I can't seem to figure this out! cell.style, cell.inheritedstyle, none of them seem to hold the correct backcolor.
I used this example to create a DateTime column for a DataGridView in my winforms app. [URL]I can see the new column in the Windows Forms Designer and add it to an existing DataGridView. However, I want to be able to change the display format when I change the "DefaultCellStyle" within the designer. The designer generated code looks like this:
I'm writing a custom DataGridView object for a large project to hand out to a bunch of developers to make our app sections look consistent. I want to set defaults for many of the properties of the DataGridView, and I can set many of them like this:
<System.ComponentModel.Browsable(True), System.ComponentModel.DefaultValue(DataGridViewAutoSizeColumnsMode.Fill)>_ Public Overloads Property AutoSizeColumnsMode() As DataGridViewAutoSizeColumnMode Get Return MyBase.AutoSizeColumnsMode End Get Set(ByVal value As DataGridViewAutoSizeColumnMode) MyBase.AutoSizeColumnsMode = value End Set End Property
These properties overload with their defaults just fine. Its when I started trying to make default Cell styles that I ran into the issue. Since the DataGridViewCellStyle is a class, I cannot make a constant out of it. I've tried changing all of the settings to what I want them to be in the class constructor, and that works great, except that changes made in the designer properties just get set back as soon as the app runs. So putting the changes in the constructor won't do. Is there anywhere else I can put code that only runs when the control is first dropped on the designer? or any other way of setting a default?
I might be coming up with a few dumb questions over the next few weeks because I am trying to push myself to learn VB 2008. So I think this is the first.I have figured out how to get a datareader to pull data from a MySQL database, pass it from a module back to my form, but when I try to put it in a combobox, the text is always left-aligned. I had never thought about this before because I think I have only ever put text in one before in VB6. However, this time it is numeric and left aligned numerics don't line up well when the numbers look like
