VS2008: Access The Datagridview Combobox Selected Index?
Mar 24, 2012
how do i get the selectedindex/item of a datagridview combobox column?what i want to do is change the back color of datagridcombobox when something is selected from the combobox?So, selecting 'false' will change the color to RED and selecting 'true' changes the color to GREEN.
I can't seem to set the selected index or selected value of a DataGridView combobox when loading data from a database. My DGV has two combobox columns which are bound to datatables. The DGV itself is not bound initially. After adding a row, I select a value from each combobox which then populates the rest of the cells in the row. I'm using the EditingControlShowing event to add an eventhandler to catch the SelectedIndexChange of the combo boxes. This all works as needed. My issue comes when populating the DGV with saved data, I need to add the rows and set the selected index and/or selected value of each combo box. I've searched through various forums and articles for the last week with no luck.
I'm using VS2008 sp1, .NET 3.5 sp1 and SQL 2005 sp2 Express.
im having a problem regard combobox selected index.the combobox wont change its index when i type a text that is the same with one of the items and pressing tab. when i check its selected index its -1. ill give an example to make it simple..combobox items = AB, AC, AD i entered "AB" by simply typing it not by selecting in the dropdown.its index is -1, how can i make the index the same with the items in the drop down?
I am using vb 2008, DataBound Controls and typed dataset. My form is having Group Box (initially hidden) and some text box, combobox controls for Data Entry, and the code is
I have set the combo box to select the 1st record in the list however, when the next Statement that is "gBox.Visible=True" is executed, the Combo Box is again set to -1 position. Why is it?
I need to develop a function called SetComboBox that accepts the category(ies) in the ComboBox as a string and returns an integer indicating the index position of the category in the ComboBox. The function is supposed to set the category in the ComboBox Selected Index property to match the string category stored in a database for an inventory item.
I have a combo box setup with 4 items, with indexes ranging from 0 to 3.
Later in my code, I need to do a certain event depending on what is selected. To do this I thought about comparing what the index of the selected combo box item is, because integer comparison is faster than strings, right?
I have 1 Table Called "Menu" there are some textboxes and a combobox. I want to fill data in the Textbox called "Menu_Rate" on Selection of combobox selected item & coressponding rate of the Menu shoud be displayed in the textbox.
This is my Code con.ConnectionString = "Data Source=localhost;Integrated Security=true;Initial Catalog=Restaurant" cmd.CommandText = "select Menu_Rate from Menu where Menu_Name='" & cbMenu.SelectedItem & "'"
I am trying to have the index value of a selected item in a combobox returned to a variable. Then, if the variable = 1 (which would be the index of th second item in the combobox), I want a groupbox to be hidden (be invisible) on the form. Here is my code...Getting an error that says:
'ListIndex' is not a member of 'System.Windows.Forms.ComboBox'
Code: Private Sub cbxAccounts_SelectedIndexChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Dim selection As Integer = CInt(cbxAccounts.ListIndex) If selection = 1 Then gbxCheck.Hide() End Sub

Let me try to describe my problems in the simplest way: I have combobox1 and combobox2. I hope to achieve two things: Combox1 is bound to list1 (a list of string). When a user selects an item in list1, list2 (a list of string) will be obtained from database and combobox is bound to list2.If user specifies text1 in combobox1 and text2 in combobox2, then these two values will be shown in the comboboxes regardless of the bound lists.
[Code]...
So the results of above code is that goal 1 is achieved, but goal 2 is never achieved. combobox1.selected index is always 0 and combobox2.selected index is always 0 too.
I have a DataGridView containing a large number of columns. I want the users to be able to select multiple columns and then select a menu item to hide the selected columns. For example a user might selected columns 5 through 10 and I want the program to hide those columns. I know how to hide columns, one at a time. I can get the count of selected columns but I have not figured out how to get the index to the left-most selected column. Trial and error is such a slow process.
Considering the huge number of options offered by the DataGridView tool, it would be nice if this forum had a special category for the DataGridView (common to VB and C#).
Finally I got the desired results but it took a lot of coding, looping through the selected cells to find the one with the lowest column index, then a second loop to count previously-hidden columns, then a third loop for hiding the selected columns, stepping past previously-hidden columns and declining to hide frozen columns.
I have a datagridview with 3 columns. The second column is a combobox which I want to bind with a dataset. How do I go about setting the column index for it as I am doing something like this.
I have a combobox with whose contents get populated via code. Works ok. But When I select something in the list and hit 'OK' it always returns as: nothing, "", or -1 (tried with .selectedValue, .SelectedText, and .SelectedIndex respectively)
Question is, How do you access the text in a ComboBox's selected Value??
I am having datagridview in that I have datagridview combobox column and noraml textfield. I want to know that how can I load selected value in that combox box when I am loading all entered details in data grid view.
DataGridView TIPs has TextBoxes and ComboBoxes in it and the data comes from an SQL table. I see how to get or set the cell values that come from the ComboBoxes using Item, but how do I access the actual ComboBox events and properties?
how i can set selected item in datagridcomboboxcolumn2 become to "a" when selected item in datagridcomboboxcolumn1 is "1"or otherwise set selected item in datagridcomboboxcolumn1 become to "1" when selected item in datagridcomboboxcolumn2 is "a"??
I'm loopiing through a datagridview and I want to get the selected value in a combobox, not the bound column's value. (I'm putting the contents of the dgv on a Word document.)
For icounter = 0 To Me.ConversationTblDataGridView.RowCount - 1 range.Text = range.Text & Me.ConversationTblDataGridView.Rows(icounter).Cells("PersonID").Value <-- I want to change "Value" so I get the displayed value, not the person's id range.Text = range.Text & CHR(13) Next icounter
It will not take .DisplayMember or .SelectedItem and .Selected returns True of False. Can anyone tell me how to get the name that shows in the combo box instead of the id number?
I am using vb.net 2010 and winforms and DataGridView. The DataGridView has a DataGridViewComboBox column. When I show the form with the DGV it shows this and empty grid but the column that contains the ComboBox shows the first item on the dropdown list. How can I have the ComboBox display nothing until it is clicked on and selected?
I am trying to display a record in my datagridview based on the value selected from a combobox. I tried the code below using SQL Management studio and it works perfectly.
i have a databound combobox using VB2010 and MS access as the DB.. When i click on a button, the selected item in the combobox will be deleted from the database and no longer display in the combobox...
I have a bound datagridview which populates from the database using parameters. I've added a combobox column through the datagridview properties. How do I access this combobox column datasource?
I just moved from VS2005 to 2008. All seemed fine until I started playing with locally cached data sources. After that I started getting this problem and now I get it even when starting a new project. I start a new project and debug, Form1 shows and all is well. If I add a combobox to the form and debug the form immediately closes. It doesn't seem to do it for other controls.
I am working in VB 2008 and I have set up a datagridview to display rows of data which can then be selected. When I select the first row I get the error: Index was out of range. Must be non-negative and less than the size of the collection. When I select any other row the program executes as it should. From what I have learned so far is that the DataGridView has an index of -1 and that it counts the header row as part of the index which is the -1.When I select the first row through either DataGridView1_RowHeaderMouseClick or DataGridView1_CellContentClick the index is 0 for the first record. If the index is 0 I think it would fire off, but I have no idea what is happening behind the scenes. I can check the index, so when it is 0 and the code attempts to access the row, that is when I get the message.On an index number of 1 and up the code executes fine.So, is there a way to re-index the DataGridView, or is there a work around/fix for this issue?
Now I am trying to go backward and convert the mdb file to a txt or csv. Is it possible to simply reverse the code so to speak and use it that way? below is the code that I am using to convert from txt to csv. I reverse the code to produce the next result but am getting error message; "Syntax error in INSERT INTO statement".
