I want to have a DataGrid in a form Docked as Fill, and have it located below the ToolStrip.What I mean by Docked as Fill is I want to be able to resize the DataGrid along with the Window Form.When I select Dock as Bottom, the space between the DataGrid and ToolStrip changes as well.
View 1 RepliesI have a form that has a toolbar and a status bar on it. After the form's InitializeComponent method is ran, I add a listview control to it and set the listview's dock property to fill. The listview is actually an overridden listview with an overridded constructor - that's why I don't just add the listview using the designer.
But the listview tucks itself up under the toolbar. It looks like the bottom of the listview respects the presence of the status bar. It's just the top of the listview that is giving me problems. So, any guesses as to what I may be doing wrong - why the listview tries to fill dock underneath the toolbar?
I really want to make use of the toolstrip and databinding but these two technologies keep conflicting with each other. I think the root cause is something to with the fact that the toolstrip buttons don't recieve focus in the normal way.
I invite you to try the following:-
1. Create a form and put some text boxes a tool strip with a save button on it.
2. Write a query or sproc to get a datatable back and bind your text boxes to the field in the datatable.
3. In the code behind your Save ToolStripButton put some code that makes an arbitrary change to a field on the dataset (it doesn't matter whther this field is bound to a text box or not). eg:-
m_DataTable.Rows(0).Item("CommissionRatePerc") = "0.0000"
4. Put a breakpoint in the save and run the form.
5. Make some changes in the text boxes. Do not leave the last text box but rather click save while a text box whose contents you have edited still has focus.
6. When your code hits the breakpoint, query the value of the data table field that is bound to the text box you were editing when you clicked save - it will still contain the unedited value. Unless you do something about it that unedited value is going to get saved back to your DB.
We did get around this problem by explicetely setting the focus to another control on the form before saving. That worked most of the time because it prompts the text box to flush it's value back to the datatable (nb EndEdit does not work, although you'd have expected it to). However, and this is the reason I suggested you add a line of code that changed a value in the underlying datatable in step 3, if you change a value in code in this way before the value from the text box get's flushed back then it doesn't seem to matter what you do, the user's current edit is simply lost. They will still show in the text box, though, leading your user to believe that the change has been committed when it hasn't. Our final solution is that we never ever change a value in the adtaset in the code behind our toolstrip buttons. That's working but it's a pretty big restriction.
well i successfully docked a perpixel alpha form with the main form(form1). but the perpixel alpha form always appears at the top left corner of the screen and when i move the main form the form(perpixel alpha form) inside it dosen't move it stays at the top left corner. ALWAYS. to dock the perpixel alpha form i used
Me.toplevel = false
Me.parent = form1
creating a docked menu form?
View 1 RepliesI have on my form two datagridviews that correspond to the same table. They are both databound. They have been created automatically through dragging them from the datasources windows.One is datagridview and the other datagridview1. When ever I navigate through a datagrid the corresponding row on the other grid changes as well. I do not want this. Also I want to be able to fill and use each datagrid indepentent from each other. To fill a datagridview on load I use this code
Me.AllServicesTableAdapter.workstation(Me.Database2DataSet.AllServices)This code does not let me choose which datagrid to fill.
Im using a dataset to display data in a datagrid from a sql server DB. One of the colums I have in my datagrid is "Status" the table adapter sql statment selects certain items based on whether there open or closed e.g "where = Open ". I want to remove this row entirely and instead of displaying open or closed for status column, display the open/ closed results in colour on the datagrid. Im really not sure how to go about this whether i need to do it in the table adapter or some sort of property. I presume i need to write a sql statement and selct the identity of the row where x= open etc , is there a way of assigning a colour in sql statement so it displays on my vb form ?

I have a form which I am adding a gradient to. However on this form I have aTableLayoutPanel (with controls) with the dock set to Fill. When it fills it covers up the form and the gradient on the form. Is it possible to make the TableLayout Panel and its controls colour clear or can you pass the same gradient color from the form to all the controls in the TableLAyout Panel (including the TableLAyoutPanel).

I have form A that has a datagrid on it, I want to be able to double click a row in form A and open form B to that record.

I have a DataGridView that is embedded in a TabPage of a TabControl and the TabControl is embedded in a SplitterPanel of a SplitContainer and the SplitContainer is embedded in a ToolStripContentPanel of a ToolStripContainer which is on a Form. I want to get the name of the form the DataGridView is on, how do I do this?
Note: Sometimes in my application the DataGridView will not be embedded in any control other than the Form. So I would need this code to work no matter what the DataGridView is embedded in. For example, if I send my DataGridView as an argument to a function how can I get the name of the form the DataGridView is located on?

View 3 RepliesHow to access a variable that is located in a private sub and then display that variable in another private sub located on the same form.

I am new to VB. I have created some labels/textboxes in my Form1. I use them to do some calculations. Basically, this is my calculation area (in Form1) and then I want some of the results that have been calculated and showed in these texboxes to be shown in labels which are in another form (Form2). So here is what I have done in terms of coding:
Label12.Text = Transactions.ComboBox1.SelectedItem
Label13.Text = Transactions.ComboBox2.SelectedItem
Label14.Text = Transactions.ComboBox3.SelectedItem
Label15.Text = Transactions.TextBox1.Text
Label16.Text = Transactions.TextBox2.Text
These codes are in Form2 and Labels 12-16 are in my form2 as well. My form1 is called Transactions as you can see. Everything looks OK, when i run no errors, also when do the calculations and I go from form1(Transactions) to form2, labels 12-16 show the results from form1 but the problem when I go back to form1 and change the values and go back to form2, the labels 12-16 are not changed. They simply show the old values regarding of the fact that they have been changed in form1. So how can I make form2 to show them correctly, to refresh the form or what?
i am trying to fill a datagrid on form 2 with data from a textbox in form 1 but i can't find how to do this.
