WPF - Making Databound ListViewColumns Resize When Adding Item

Dec 4, 2011

I'm making an WPF-application that has a databound ListView. When loading the application, the width of the ListViewColumns will auto-resize, but when adding or changing an item it doesn't auto-resize. I've tried refreshing the listview, setting the width of the column to auto, -1 or -2 in both xaml and VB-code and I've tries changing the itemssource to nothing before refilling it with items.

This is the xaml code:
<ListView x:Name="lsvPersons" Margin="5,5,5,35" ItemsSource="{Binding Persons}">
<ListView.View><GridView>
<GridViewColumn DisplayMemberBinding="{Binding Name}" Header="Name"/>
<GridViewColumn DisplayMemberBinding="{Binding Gender}" Header="Gender"/>
<GridViewColumn DisplayMemberBinding="{Binding Age}" Header="Age"/>
[Code] .....

After pressing the button, a window will open to add a person. After the window is closed, the item is added to the listview with following code, which refreshes the items in the listview:
lsvPersons.ItemsSource = Person.getPersons()
So, what do I need to do to auto-resize the columns of the listview when an item is added or edited?

The combobox displays the current data in the table as it should.I have programmatically added the string "ADD..." to the list at the form.shown event:[code]when the user then click on (select) "ADD...", i open a new form to allow the user to add a new item to the list.The code i have behind the "ACCEPT" button on the new form stores the NEW value to the DATASET. I have verified this by previewing the data in the dataset.My problem is getting the combobox to reflect the changes to datatable to which it is bound.[code]

Forms :: Add Item To Databound ComboBox?

Sep 7, 2009

I started a Windows app using all code for database connection and validation. However, it was always losing the formatting that I had set at run time. So I thought I would use the long tedious process of using all of the studios objects with minimum code.

I am now at the position where I am mostly happy with the layout and how this operates. However, I want to be able to add a non-databound value to a databound combo box. I have set the properties for the combo box in the combo box tasks.

Also, I want to add the ability for the user to update that table that is bound to this control, when a value is not in the list. I know that there is a NotInList event in Access, but I can not find it in VB.Net. I did get so far with updating from the combo box using the Leave event. However, when the database was updated the control could not find the ID in the Clients table to save to the Quotes table.

Adding A Blank To A Databound Combo In A DataGridView

Apr 27, 2010

I've inherited a form that has a DataGridView that is bound to a dataadapter and it is connected to a binding source. Within the DataGridView is a combo box that is bound to its own bindingsource which basically just calls a stored proc to bring back the possible values for the dropdown combo control

With a blank new row and sometimes even with an existing row, this value for the combo box can be NULL which is a legitimate value for it if no value selected. Problem is everything is so tightly bound if the user mistakinly clicks the dropdown then a value is populated and there's no way to get back to NULL

I've tried to catch the mousecelldown event and others to try to catch this before a value is selected but the Cancel=True doesn't work - I can catch the event but don't know how to return the cell to unclicked or reset it to NULL or pre selected value if NULL I know how to at a new row with the datatable and then set the combo datasource to it and I have my null blank value but with a tightly bound control how do I add this row?

Adding An Empty Row To A Databound Listbox Using Linq2SQL And Winforms?

Sep 28, 2011

what is the most robust method for adding a empty row (to select "nothing") to a ListBox?

Dim List = Enumerable.Repeat(New TABLE With {.Text = "", .ID = -1}, 1).AsQueryable().Union(From t In mainctx.TABLEs)
ddlMangelKategorie.DisplayMember = "Text"
ddlMangelKategorie.ValueMember = "ID"
ddlMangelKategorie.DataSource = List.ToList

But this has some drawbacks:wordy must explicit write the Type (TABLE in this case), so i cant wrap this in a function have not found an solution, which works with anonymous types I.e. if I add a From t In mainctx.TABLEs Select Text=col1, id=col2 to the query, this method does not work anymore.

VS 2008 - Change Individual Item Color In DataBound ComboBox

May 8, 2009

I have a combobox called cbMaterialType on a windows form that's bound to a table in SQL - everything loads great and the combobox displays 'Material' items as it should, in that table I have two fields - Material (as mentioned above) which is a char(25) and InStock which is an nchar(1). If the InStock field contains a '1', I'd like the individual material to be green in the combobox, if '0', then red. I have the simple code in the drawitem event of the combobox as follows, but can't seem to get any results at all:

Private Sub cbMaterialType_DrawItem(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.DrawItemEventArgs) Handles cbMaterialType.DrawItem
If MaterialTableAdapter1.GetData.Item(cbMaterialType.SelectedIndex).InStock = 1 Then
cbMaterialType.ForeColor = System.Drawing.Color.Green
Else
cbMaterialType.ForeColor = System.Drawing.Color.Red
End If
End Sub

I've never worked with any form of color in comboboxes before and this is my first attempt at the drawitem event.

VS 2008 - Adding Rows To Databound DataGridView From Child Form?

Feb 7, 2010

I am having trouble adding a row to a databound datagridview on a parent form from a child form.

'call it as a dialog to check for the cancel button

Making A Form Resize When A Picturebox Becomes Visible?

Feb 8, 2012

The basis of the program is that the user enters info into to text boxes then hits a button, when the button is clicked and all the parameters are met, the visible property of a rather large picture box becomes true. What I want to do is have the form start off small, just big enough to hold the labels, text boxes and buttons and then resize when the picture box is made visible.

Making Controls Resize With The MDI Child Form

Jan 23, 2011

Does anyone know how to make the controls on an MDI Child form resize along with the form itself? I inherited a project from another developer and I was asked specifically to make the form resize. With advice I received on this forum I now have the form resizing as expected. It will minimize, restore and maximize as well as resize with the mouse pointer.

The problem is that when I increase the size of the form all I get is more blank space on the screen. The controls to do change at all. Although I thin this is normal behavior for a Windows form my bosses all seem to think that the controls resize on every other widows for they see. I wondered if anyone had successfully accomplished this. I was already advised to write a FormResize handling subroutine and this unfortunately did not work.

ComboBox - How To Resize Dropdown Area Based On Item Length

Jun 11, 2011

Since we have to resize the combo box dropdown area based on the combo box item length, used the drawstring() to add items to combo based on the item length. This gave us the below issue: On moving the cursor on the drop down area the font color and the background color are back hence the text is not readable (i.e. the whole item becomes black).

Below piece of code is used to achieve this,
Private Sub cboClient_DrawItem(ByVal
sender As
Object,
ByVal e
As System.Windows.Forms.DrawItemEventArgs)
[Code] .....

We tried changing font color and the dropdown area backcolor on selecting a particular item. How to make the text readable (i.e. the font color should change while if we scroll on the item).

Forms :: Looping Through Listbox Making Calculation To Every Item - Won't Update New Result

Apr 6, 2009

i have 2 list boxes.. Qty and Cost both of these are populated from a sql database. The code is suppose to read through the listboxes and multiple the Cost by the Qty and then replace the Cost with the new result. The Cost listbox is populated with the cost of one item. The reason i am not doing this calculation in the sql query is because the sql query is very complicated filter out a bunch of stuff to show just the qty of the item...

Adding Item Only Once In Dropdownlist

May 12, 2012

I am using ASP.NET with VB.NET as background code. I have 8 ImageMaps in my webform Estimator.aspx.Each ImageMap represents a car part (Front Bumper, Rear Bumper, Mirror, Hood, Sunroof, DoorShell, Headlights, Tail lights) and I have a dropdownlist ddlChosenParts. When the user clicks on any of the 8 ImageMaps, I add the PostBackValue to the dropdownlist ddlChosenParts.The problem is that if the user clicks on the same ImageMap twice, the PostBackValue is added twice.I want to check if ddlChosenParts contains the ImageMap's PostBackValue and if it already contains it, do not add it again. That means that if the user clicks more than once on the same ImageMap, it's PostBackValue is only added once in ddlChosenParts.I have this code but i'm getting an error: Value of Type String cannot be converted to ListItem.

Adding An Item To A Combobox In A Datagridview?

Oct 16, 2011

I have an Access database with a Parts table. I'm using tableadapters in my project. A datagridview on my form is filled manually in code. One column of the DGV contains a columntype of combobox. I've got a bindingsource on my form whose source is the Parts tableadapter. The combobox column is tied to the bindingsource and is displaying fldDescription.

The part descriptions can be changed by the users, but the original part description is saved in another table that is used to fill the grid. If part "widget" gets changed to "widget, large" I can no longer display "widget" in the combobox of the grid. I need to know how to be able to add it to the bindingsource so I can display it in the combobox. I don't want it saved to the Parts table though.

When adding a new item (class, control, etc) in C# it will automatically add a namespace to the file depending on the location in the project.

Is this also available for VB.NET?

The code 'Namespace DataClasses.AX' and 'End Namespace' would be generated.
