VS 2010 : DataGridView ComboBoxColumn In MDI Application?
May 24, 2011
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 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 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'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 building an application where on a form is a datagridview and textboxes. The dgv and tb are bound to the same table. I am using the dgv to have an overview of the records and the tb I use for editing. Selecting a record programmatically in the dgv is no problem, but the textboxes have to be filled with the same record. Here I have added my code to this far.
If OuderID <> 0 Then 'select the row For i As Integer = 0 To dgvOuders.RowCount - 1 If dgvOuders.Rows(i).Cells(0).Value = OuderID Then
[CODE]...
I am stuck right now. I want to add (on the dotted line) an performclick action, but a dgv doesn't have a performclick action.
I have a text file which contains large amount (around 44,948 rows/lines & 9 columns) of delimited text data in a text file which I want to populate onto a DataGridView table. I have written the below code, but the application gets hung for the rest of the time & so I have to stop debugging the program.
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click Dim x As New IO.StreamReader(fileLocationTxt.Text)
I've done this, the way i've always done it .. 100's of times before.. and now on this one form... bombs out... and will not linkup ...I have a DGV with 101 columns, and on this form only one of the coulmns requires a ComboBox (Drop Down List). It's the run's Status, and is one of three values..Pending, Running, Complete... so i'm loading the Combobox Datasource with a List (Of {Object}), like i do on several other DGVCombo Boxes within the same project.. (other forms)
Using VB.NET 2008. Am using Datagridview in my application, Datagridview should display according to the windows screen size, Before I used vb6
code.
Private Sub Form_Resize() On Error Resume Next
[CODE]............
Am new to vb.net, How to set a datagridview size according to windows screen size, In Datagridview property itself any option is available or i have to make a code as like vb. If i have to make a code, how to give form_resize in vb.net.
I am in need of a small application, that will allways be topmost and will send keystrokes to the last active application (typically notepad or an explorer window). My problem is retrieving the current active form (or application), when my application is started up. Every search seems to return old and rather complex solutions using Win32 library functions, but I was kinda hoping, that .Net allowed for a neater and more simple solution.I need a code example or link on how to retrieve the currently active application window from another application just starting up.
I have two datagridview's both are databound. First one shows items for sale and the second stores all the items that were sold. I am trying too transfer selected rows from one to the other but no matter what I keep getting told "Rows cannot be programmatically added to the DataGridView's rows collection when the control is data-bound."
I have a datagridview extracted from a csv file. It displays duplicate rows. How can I delete those duplicate rows from the datagridview? replies would be precious.
I was wondering if it's possible to store application data within an application without storing the data in an external file. For example, in my application, the user can choose where he/she would like to store the files that the application creates. I need to make the application remember the location that the user specified. I've tried using My.Settings to save this information, but since my application is standalone, if the location of the application changes, the My.Settings information changes as well (unless I coded it incorrectly before). I would prefer not to store this data in a .txt file or something similar.
At present I have wrote an application (in-house CRM, vb .net 2010) which allows me to send emails under the selected customer & I categorised these emails.As these are categorised I can return data to display email history in my program by using search criteria:
Dim oMail As Outlook.MAPIFolder = oNS.GetDefaultFolder(Outlook.OlDefaultFolders.olFolderSentMail) Dim sSearch As String sSearch = "[Categories] = '" + "[" + tAccount.Text.Trim + "]" + "(" + tShipTo.Text.Trim + ")'" Dim oItems As Outlook.Items = oMail.Items.Restrict(sSearch)
However the limitation to the above is it only looks at sent items & no other folder.My ideal solution would be to display all email correspondence for a certain contact.
I had my laptop stolen and had to download a trial version of microsoft word 2010. the file extension says it is WordApplication.odt. I am using Visual Basic 2010 and had the application converted from a visual basic 2008. The Imports Word = Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word .Net Reference file, but I thing the trial version of Microsoft Word has a different file extension.
What i am trying to do is to have a fixed initial row heigh of 60. Then the user is to put Data into the empty fields. When it user clicks the add button it will loop until it reaches an empty record and then it will insert the data into a SQL Database. Its simular to my code below but with a DataGrid. Also, this DataGrid is located on a ControlTab. The code below is just to show the logic of what i am trying to do.
Private Sub btnInkjetGenerateTicket_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnInkjetGenerateTicket.Click 'Description: This INSERTS and Generates ticket from the InkjetTab fields
