VS 2008 Get Datagridview Comboboxcolumn Value Moment A New Selection Is Clicked
Nov 27, 2009
I'm pretty new to VB.Net programming, but have already been able to figure out many things using this forum, but also via the many other forums on the internet.I'm currently stuck with a question though regarding getting the clicked value in a datagridview comboboxcolumn.When I use _Selected IndexChanged and then check the current cells value, what I get is the value before I clicked the new one in the comboboxcolumn.When I use _CellEditFinished, I can get the new value, but only after I selected another cell, or changed focus to another object.How do I get the new value from a DataGridViews ComboBoxColumn the moment I clicked it in the pulldown menu from the ComboBoxColumn?
I am populating a DataGridView from a DataTable with a DataAdapter (VB 2008 Express, SQL 2008 Express). The dgv is for editing (with SqlCommandBuilder) a SQL table. I have added a ComboBoxColumn ("Type"), with a list, and removed the column from dgv ("Reason") who's index it replaces. What I can't figure out is the binding(?) to have the selected text displayed the same value as that from SQL table that is being edited. The ComboBox displays an index of -1, I need the selected text to be the data from row and field which is to be edited. The list is constant. Code so far is below:
Public Sub LoadDgvComps() Dim myDA As SqlDataAdapter Dim dsComps As DataSet[code]......
I have a databound combo box column. When a value in another field starts with an 8, I want to make the combo box read-only and turn the background gray so the user knows it is read-only.
Here is the code I'm using, where am I going wrong? It doesn't change the backcolor to gray.
Private Sub dgvTest_CellFormatting(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.DataGridViewCellFormattingEventArgs) Handles dgvTest.CellFormatting
Is it possible to attach a context menu to a oomboxcolumn in a DataGridView? That is I want the context menu to display after the user chooses an item in the combox.
I want to show with the DataGridViewComboBoxColumn two fields from groups table . But i want only link field "articlenb" to column, but a want o show filed "Articlenb" and I want to show fields "groupnb" and "groupdef"
My question is how do this?
Here is my code for ComboBoxColumn, with one field from groups table.
i am using a Datagridview on my form. It get's it's datasource from a dataset: grd.datasource=set_temp After that I add ComboboxColumns manually. At the end I loop columns and set values into that cells from the comboboxcolumns. Works perfect so far. Now I click on a header and the sorting is changed, and then the cells from the comboboxcolumns all lose their values, they are all empty.
Why and what do I do to avoid that? Or must i refill those manual Values after sorting?
I have a child form in an MDI application with a datagridview comboboxcolumn. I'm filling it with string values. When I load the form independently of the parent, I am able to set values for the comboboxcells. But when the form is loaded as part of the MDi application, with the same exact code, the cells are empty.

I have a GUI which allows the user to select a report to view/edit. When the user selects a report, it shows the Items in the report. The Item has many properties - most of which are binding properly. One of the properties is Owner, and this is bound to a ComboBoxColumn.
Report
Items
Owner
I have done something very similar to this a few times and had no problems when I set the DataPropertyName, DataSource, ValueMember, and DisplayMember. The only difference is that this time instead of the Item type having an OwnderID it actually has an instance of the Owner object.giving the items bound in the list a self-referencing property that allows them to return themselves for the purposes of setting the ValueMember.However, When I bind it this way:
I get a lot of errors like: Unable to cast object of type 'System.String' to type 'Owner'.
and:
The following exception occurred in the DataGridView:
System.ArgumentException: DataGridViewComboBoxCell value is not valid.To replace this default dialog please handle the DataError event.I was able to get around some of these errors by binding it like this:
and also by making the ToString function on the Owner display the OwnerName property. This seems pretty hacky though - and I think I'm misunderstanding something fundamental as it still does not function properly.
With the two lists (t1s and t2s), I want to display t1s in a DataGridView, and in one column show the T2 property as a comboBox column, which dropdown will show the t2s list such that a new list instance can be selected. T2 has a Name property that should be used for displaying it in the comboBoxColumn.
I'm able to display the dropdown, but remaining a few problems:
1. How to display the correct comboBox "selection" on "load"?
2. How to change the T2 child object instance when combobox selection is made?
3. This is a really basic problem, which suddenly happened and I just couldn't understand what I have changed; The code marked BLUE now just shows empty cells.. While the AutoGenerated columns do show values.. Shouldn't those "manual" columns work?
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
I am using VB 2005 professional and SQL Server 2005 express edition.
For the last two weeks I have been trying to have a datagridview control on a form that will have datasource from a dataset with two tables that are related. I want child the column to be a ComboBoxColumn where userts can select options and update the other data(from the other table).
I have two tables in an sql server 2005 database named computers:-
computers locations
Table computers looks like thisID is the primary key column) ID Location Computer139 Computer240
[Code].....
With the location column being a ComboBoxColumn so that when a user enters a new ID say Computer5,they have a choice of a dropdownmenu for the Location column. In the database table computers the item should be saved as well as the index value(to correspond to the LocationID).
easy way to simply load the data from database into a datagridview with one of the columns being a comboboxcolumn. Apparently there is no selectedvalue, selectedindex or value as in a combobox to return the combobox value. What I need is to verify if the database value is 'true' and if it is then I need to set the comboboxcolumn with a specific value.
Ex:
if ds.tables(0).rows(0)("flag") = "true" then datagridcolumn.selectedvalue = 1 else datagridcolumn.selectedvalue = 0 end if
I had created 3 datagridviews dynamically. In each dtatgridview a single cell is selected by default. I want to avoid this default selection how can I do this?In a single form 3 cursors.....Not active but looks very boring.
Ive got a datagridview, which the user can put in to 'edit' mode by double clicking. If they then make changes but click to another row, I want to msg asking if they are sure they want to discard then changes. If they say No I want to stop the selection change from being made.
Private Sub DataGridView1_SelectionChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles DataGridView1.SelectionChanged If edit = True Then
I have a form with a DataGridView and ComboBox, both of which are populated with data from an Excel spreadsheet, the source is unbound. My problem is in repopulating the DataGridView with data from another worksheet in the same Excel file when the user selects the corresponding value from the ComboBox. For example if they were to select January from the ComboBox then the DataGridView would load in and display the data contained on say Sheet2, selecting February would load Sheet 3 and so on. I am running Visual Studio 2008.
In VB.NET 2008 I've two forms 1 & 2 containing two datagridviews connected to two data source 'ACCESS 2007 tables' Now I want to select multiple rows from one datagridview (form1) & transferring these to another empty datagridview (form2) with a button_click.
I'm using datagridview in my vb.net project. In that datagridview I use checkbox for null value check property if the user click that how I check if the box is check or not in a number of rows and know how many check boxes are clicked also want to count. i try with my coding but it leaves the first line how I check.
Dim tableid As Integer mydisp = New SqlDataAdapter("select max(id) from tst_m_tables", Myconnection) mydisp.Fill(mydst, "id") tableid = mydst.Tables("id").Rows(0).Item(tableid) For i = 0 To dgvtabledetails.Rows.Count - 1 [Code] .....
Example i have a tabcontrol contains 4 tabpages.Each tabpage have a datagridview. I want when i click any datagridview in those tabpages then a msgbox ll show name of datagridview which has just clicked.I want to determine it. But i dont want to use method loop though controls of tabcontrol and check what datagridview visible.Shortly i want to determine what datagridview i clicked ?
im using a trackbar (First time of using one)i want the trackbar to go up in 1`s to a maximum of 400 at the moment it goes up in 10`s iv looked at the properties of this and i cant seem to figure how to change it from 10 to 1, I looked at the maximum and changed that from 10 to 1 but it just counts the hole trackbar as one which is doing the complete opposite to what i want?
I have a datagridview that I have put a ContextMenuStrip1 on. I would like it to remove a row in the datagridview when the row is right clicked on and they click on "delete row". I have the delete working and the menu is showing up but this isn't firing when you right click on the datagridview.
This is where I am setting the row to edit: Private Sub ModifyRowToolStripMenuItem_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles ModifyRowToolStripMenuItem.Click If Not datagridview_TagAssignment.CurrentRow Is Nothing Then [Code] .....
I am always ending up on row(0) and never the row I right clicked on. Private Sub datagridview_TagAssignment_CellMouseClick(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.DataGridViewCellMouseEventArgs) Handles datagridview_TagAssignment.CellMouseClick If e.Button = Windows.Forms.MouseButtons.Right AndAlso e.RowIndex >= 0 Then datagridview_TagAssignment.Rows(e.RowIndex).Selected = True End If End Sub
This is my first time using the checkbox in a datagridview. I added the column at design time and it is false for readonly and frozen. But when I click on it at runtime nothing is happening. Do I have to check it through the event?
i need to know exactly when a checkbox is checked either by clicking or by spacebar.
I have looked at cellbeginedit, cellclick, cellcontentclick,cellendedit,cellformatting,cellleave,cellpainting,cellvalidating,cellvalidated,cellvaluechanged, and cellvalueneeded.
None of these inform me of when the checkbox value is changed. cellclick is almost the one, but it fires before the value is changed. cellvaluechanged doesnt fire until you leave the cell. the cell value changes and the cell is painted even if you dont leave the cell.
I have spent all day trying to get it right. I want to detect exactly when the checkbox value is changed so i can do some calculations and depending on the calculations, i may cancel the check mark.
I have a loaded DatagridView which contains a row/column with an employee number in it. Outside of the DatagridView at the the top of my form I have a small PictureBox. My goal is for the user to select the employees row (not cell),pull the employee number from that row/column, and then use a LINQ query against another table to display the image stored in that table.
Determine the event needed in the DatagridView?How do I pull the employee number from the selected row?What considerations, if any would the LINQ query need to pull the picture from the table?
Am using vb.net 08 and i have a datagridview with 3 columns. The first column has a button as the columntype with the name "UserName". Now, i want if the user clicks only on the UserName which is the first column, but not the entire row, it should display the value of the UserName column only. If other columns are clicked are apart from the UserName, nothing should display. So there will be a for loop that will itera te through all the rows of the datagridview.
I have been looking all over the place trying to figure out how I can programally select a certain Cell in a row. What I am attempting to do is when doing Rowvalidating, and I find that the user has not filled out a column, I do a msgbox, then want to have the cell have the focus, so user can enter in the data. IE, like the way you can cause a text box to have the focus.
