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.

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:
OwnerColumn.DataPropertyName = "Owner"
OwnerColumn.DataSource = ownersBindingSource1
OwnerColumn.ValueMember = "Self"
OwnerColumn.DisplayMember = "OwnerName"
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:
OwnerColumn.DataPropertyName = "Owner"
OwnerColumn.DataSource = ownersBindingSource1
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?
View 4 RepliesI 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.

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..

Final step in my application. I finally got all the requirements working, but now I need to have the application run in the background.
The application was written in Visual Studio 2010 VB, Win form app.
The requirements are as follows:
1.) run the application at start up
2.) no icon
3.) always in focas
4.) always runs in the background.
Here's the full code I have right now (working! whahoooo)

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 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.
View 10 RepliesAt 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.
