I'm wanting to display tooltips on cells on a DataGridView.This works normally but in this case I have the DataGridView with enabled = false as I don't want the user to edit it but I do want the tooltips to be shown. If I set enabled = true then it's OK.

I am developing an application in vb.net 2008 express edition that displays utility meter information. In one column of datagridview it shows the meter type in numeric code. When the user hovers over the the individual cells in meter type column i want to be able to show more descriptive info on what that numeric code actually means.
As an example the cell in datagridview will show 1254 the actual description for this numeric code is "Landis Gyr Focus AX SD 2S 7.2Kh"
Below is my code so far, every other aspect of application is working except for above.
Public Class Form3
Private Sub dgv1_CellMouseEnter(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.DataGridViewCellEventArgs) Handles dgv1.CellMouseEnter

I've just set up Visual studio 2003 on a new machine, and I'm not getting the tooltips appearing when I hover over variables in debug mode.Strangely enough, I've also just installed VB6 on the same machine, and I'm getting the same problem on there.
View 1 RepliesI can't claim credit for this code but I think it's cool. It will show the entire contents of an item in a tooltip even when the columns are truncating it. Drop a tooltip and listview container on your form with the default name.
Public Class Form1
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load

Can't seem to find a way to make the text appearing in Msgboxs to be enlarged.
Tooltips appear to be the same font.

I have an Application that has a tab control on it. Depending what the end user clicks on, a new tab is created dynamically at runtime and I use a Template class to fill it with controls of what is needed for the type of tab being created. All works fine but where I have an issue is with the dynamic tooltip control. I added a tooltip to the main form and added code to access it in the Template Class. But I feel I have to rig it to get it to work and am looking for a more proper way to do it. I access the Tooltip1 on Form1 via Form1.components. However, "Components" in the Form1 designer code is declared Private and I change it to Public and it works fine but of course as I know when I make changes to the Design of Form1 it recreates the code and Chages the Componets back to Private. So I need a better way to access it or a better way to create Tooltips dynamically.
Code:
'---CreateTab Class--- a portion of code for example
CreateTab(ByRef tpNew As TabPage)
Dim btnSelect = New System.Windows.Forms.Button

[code]when i put this code on my project message appears: Base class 'System.Windows.Forms.TreeView' specified for class 'myTVcontrol' cannot be different from the base class 'System.Windows.Forms.UserControl' of one of its other partial types.
View 2 RepliesI have a label with a tooltip attribute for rollover effect. This works all great. However, it seems to get hidden behind any dropdown lists that are nearby. I have tried adjusting the z-index, without any luck. This issue does not appear in firefox, and I have not tested it in later versions of IE.
I realize this is probably due to IE6s poor css standards-compatibility, but how can I get around this?
All the tooltips in one of my apps stopped working. I checked the component; the settings are all the same as on another app that still works. what would cause tooltips to suddenly turn off?
View 9 RepliesIs it possible to make tooltips invisible in VB.NET 2005? The reason that I ask is because I need to store some data about each node in a treeview control, but I am already using the node's tag value to store an object that represents a "SuperToolTip" which is a control in DevComponent's DotNetBar utility. So I do not want the tooltip to be visible, since I am already displaying a more feature rich tooltip for each node. I guess I could store an array in the tag, that would contain the object that I needed, as well as the string info I need for the node as well.
View 5 RepliesI have a combobox with a given width.
It may occur that one row of the data is partially hidden (the combobox might be too narrow). I'd like to show the whole line by using a tooltip or right-click context menu.
Currently I can't find how to 'catch' the row that I'm currently holding on or passing over by mouse.
I cannot seem to figure out how to use a large icon (I'm assuming 64x64) in balloon tooltips, like when installing new hardware device drivers. I already have the icon resource added, and when I have it coded:
Me.afkNotifyIcon.BalloonTipIcon = AFK_Timer.My.Resources.clock_balloonicon
I get the error: "Value of type 'System.Drawing.Icon' cannot be converted to 'System.Windows.Forms.ToolTipIcon'."
there I am using a ToolTip on a Label that I am using as a place holder, so the same Label is being recreated over and over in diferent locations each time the ToolTip Message is diferent. The problem is the mesages is all showing ap at the same time overlaping one another.

I'm going through my company's program making sure that all icons have tooltips. We have a lot of grids with icons, but in case the settings for the tooltip to show up are not there, the column header should have the same tooltip as the icon. In regular grids I just click the column header, and then the properties for it show up in the bottom right corner in Visual Studio. However, we have some treeviews, and when I click on the column header of a column in the treeview, Tooltip is not among the properties I can edit. How to make a tooltip show up on such a column header?
View 3 RepliesI'm trying to use the WebKit-component ([URL]) in VB with the help of Visual Studio 2008. This is running without problems, except for two following two issues:
1. Hints/Tooltips are not shown (e.g. as there usually will appear one if you stay with the mouse over the Google-logo)
2. If there's a popup-window, I don't know how to get the new desired URL.

One of the things that I think is really cool about VB.NET is how built-in functions and subs have extra help text in their ToolTips like "Expression: String expression to search for replace string." as well as the usual "Replace(...parameters...) as string" text. So are the pop up boxes with things like "CompareMethod.Binary" or "CompareMethod.Text." And finally I like how some functions and subs have different sets of parameters for the same routine. For example, New FileStream() starts with either a path (string) parameter or handle parameter, but none of the 15 sets of parameters contain both path and handle parameters. Is there a way that I can set up the classes and functions I write to use these things or do they only work with built in classes and functions? If there is a way, what are the proper names for them so I can look them up in the VS/VB documentation? I would be happy enough if someone would give me an example of them, but it would be nicer if I could go through the documentation and find out if there are other cool things that are related or near by.
View 3 RepliesI have a DataGridView where Cell_Validating is being done. I have a Cancel button on my form that allows the user to exit out of the DataGridView changes. The problem is that if a cell was currently flagged as in error, I cannot exit and remove columns from the DataGridView. I get the following error: Operation did not succeed because the program cannot commit or quit a cell value change. Is there a way to cancel the validation once the focus has been removed from the DataGridView? Here is my Cell_Validating

View 2 RepliesI've built a reporting feature in my app that uses a DATAGRIDVIEW to show the results of a stored procedure execution.I've noticed that the datagridview has some nice features - like the user can re-order columns.And I allow them to re-run the report and the "re-execution" nicely fills in the DGV - even if the columns are moved around.Problem is that I also allow them to run different reports - and that column re-ordering and other "retention" features of the DGV are bad.Should I be creating a DGV in the IDE and then cloning that somehow at runtime for each report that is run. As long as they are re-running the same report then I can re-use the DGV like I am now.But if they select a different report then I dispose of the DGV and make a new one.
View 2 RepliesBelow is the code to create a single Editable ComboBox column in a DataGridView on a form. I believe I have follwed the instructions to allow the user to input new values other than those in the list, however if you create a new project and add a button and a DataGridView control onto the form, then copy and paste this code and run the program, you will find that you cannot type any character in the edit box other then characters that exist in the list and only 1 character will be displayed at a time. I have set the Autocomplete value to 'False' and setting it to 'True' at least allows me to type more than 1 character but still not any strings that don't exist in the list.You can even remark out or not use the entire Call Validating sub routine to see the issue of not being able to type in the cell.

View 1 RepliesMaking a comeback after five years, I am greatly impressed by the functionality of the DataGridView.It seems to me that the most obvious omissions are:
1) numeric columns, numeric up/down columns, date columns, list box columns;
2) printing a DataGridView;
3) binding a DataGridView to a database table when the database is selected at run-time. I see that several software houses offer products to complement the standard Microsoft DataGridView feature, all of them at a hefty price. I am satisfied with the RustemSoft product's DataGridView column features but it does not seem to offer any help with printing.Before I spend another $80 on DataGridView software, I would like to find out whether free coding is available for cut-and-paste or download. Maybe these features will be included in the next version of VB.NET but I cannot wait for that.

I am using VB.Net 2008 and have build a windows form with a datagridview that displays a query of records for the current client. One of the columns is for Fee. I need to total that column and place the result in a Label or Textbox. I am using the Query builder to pull the records and so I can not get away with the SQL expression in the query returns the Schema does not match error. I have tried to code it pulling the information directly into the form from the Datagridview and could not make that work either.
View 1 RepliesI just want to simply be able to edit a database directly using a Datagridview. That includes adding new rows, editing existing ones, and deleting rows. So far if I have been able to get one of those actions to work, the others do not. I found the codebank entry by JMC and I am trying to use it to connect to my database. I have a bindingsource, a dataset, and tableadapter created via the designer. Now I need to figure out how to combine all these components.

Private adapter As New SqlDataAdapter("SELECT ID, Name, Quantity, Unit FROM StockItem", connection)

I am trying to identify the value if a checkbox against a record in a datagrid.
I am trying this:
Dim eRow As Integer
eRow = dgv.CurrentRow.Index
TextBox1.Text = dgv.Item(6, eRow).Value
But I get nothing it works on other fields in the datagridview. The user will de-select records he does not want to authorise. When he has done this I want to update another table with the values that are selected(or True) on a button click event. There could be 100's of records so not sure if this is the best way to go about this.
