I want to set header column width for grid view. I tried HeaderStyle-Width="30px". But it is depending on Item columns. The column width is setting based on item value. But I want fixed width even if it has value or empty.

I have 10 fields showing in datagridview. As the last 5 columns header is long, the datagridview is not fitting inside 1 page (not showing all 10 fields in one single page). But is there a way i can "Text Wrap" the top header column and lock in the width, then it should print across one page perfectly. How I can "Text Wrap" the top header column and lock in the width to print across one page.

I have a gridview with autogenerated columns that I set programmatically I want to format the column width. This is my code for my gridview in code behind...
If Not Page.IsPostBack Then
Dim budgetTable As New DataTable("Budgets")
budgetTable.Columns.Add("Approval Date", GetType(Date))
[code]....
I have ASP gridview bound to an Entity Data source which works no problem, however when I try to programmatically change a header columns text, it appears to break the styling and will not allow sorting either, below is how I am trapping and changing the Header row column text.
Protected Sub gv1_RowDataBound(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Web.UI.WebControls.GridViewRowEventArgs) Handles gv1.RowDataBound
If e.Row.RowType = DataControlRowType.Header Then
'retrieve the values from the userdeftable
e.Row.Cells(6).Text = App.Session.Company.UserDef3
End If
End Sub
how do I get the Header text of the header the user clicked in the datagridview.I know I have to use the column header click event but I can't work out or find away to extract the clicked header data?
View 4 RepliesI am aware that this is a visual basic dot net post. However It was extremely simple for me to write out a file in VB6 using lines such as the following snippet
[Code]...
I want basically to export an array A (I used zero based array here) with three columns and a particular value B in fixed widths, hence the @@@@@ which means 5 spaces in to a text file defined by the FreeFNum (FreeFileNumber).
I would like to use CSV and all the other formats but some scientific programs written in FORTRAN may not support them. Anyway my file output here needs to be in this fixed width format because it will be used by proprietary software that I have no access to the source code.

I have files that are one long line of text but are made up of individual segments. I have managed to parse the segments into a string array but now need to parse each segment into its individual fields, based upon a field structure defined by the first 2 characters of the segment.For example:
CA12345ABC999999XXPPPPPPPP55
CA segment (CA is first 2 characters of segment) has fields defined as:
Field Name,Start,Length

I'm using vb6 to read lines of txt files, using the code posted in ream.In.Code "Reading a Text file Line by Line". My question is how can I real a line with fixed column width, for example:
qwerty 12345 asdfg
asd 455 hfgdf
qhjkrty 1235 asdfg
The objective is to read each part of the row. In Visual Studio 2010 Beta version the code I present below that is actually working but it doesn't work in VB6.
Using Reader As New Microsoft.VisualBasic.FileIO.TextFieldParser("C:\teste.txt")Reader.TextFieldType = Microsoft.VisualBasic.FileIO.FieldType.FixedWidthReader.SetFieldWidths(8, 30, 25, 45, 57)

I found away to read a fixed position text file, but I encounter a problem, I know which field I want to go and check, how can I jump directly to the field I need. Readfields does not helps.for instance I need to check on field 3 and 7 of the row before the next row is read.[code]is this my best approach to read a fixed position text file?
View 1 RepliesI need to write some fixed-width font (i.e Courier New or Consolas) text to a .net Winforms window in the Paint event - not using a label or any other winforms control - rather using a graphics object method to render the text onto the form's client area. I am having difficulty aligning text on different lines under headings even though it is fixed width font. How can I get a precise measurement of the width of a single character in the fixed-width font? How can I get 2 lines to print out aligned horizontally in successive text out calls?
For example:
Heading 1 Heading 2
Short Other text
A bit longer Still aligned?
I need a separate call to render each cell of text under Heading 2. For argument's sake - let's say column 1 items are printed in black and column 2 are printed in blue - we can't use the same text out call for the entire line.
I am trying to format a string of arbitrary length into a fixed width field for display.
Let's use a width of 20 as an example, and call the string to be formatted s. I'm adding the formatted string to a StringBuilder named b.
Dim b As New System.Text.StringBuilder()
Dim s as New String
If the string I want to display is shorter than 20 characters, I can do this:
b.Append(s.PadRight(20))
or
b.AppendFormat("{0,-20}", s)
So far, so good. But, if the string is longer than 20 characters, I want the string to be truncated to 20 characters as it is appended. The code above appends the entire string.
I tried this:
b.Append(s.Substring(0,20).PadRight(20))
But, this fires an exception if the string was shorter than 20 characters.
So, I ended up with:
b.Append(s.PadRight(20).Substring(0,20))
This seems to do the job. The PadRight prevents the exception by making sure thet string has 20 characters before the Substring is performed.
I was wondering if there is an alternate method that would look more elegant and avoid padding the string just so prevent the substring from causing an exception. Have I missed a feature of String.Format that can accomplish this in one step?
Edited to add solution:
I ended up with the following code:
Module Extensions
<Extension()> _
Function AppendFixed(ByVal b As StringBuilder, ByVal s As String, ByVal width As Integer) As StringBuilder
[Code]....
This uses an extension method to clean up the syntax, as suggested by Joel and Merlyn, and uses the StringBulider Append overloads to avoid creating new strings that will have to be garbage collected, as suggested by supercat.
Is there a simple way (without measuring characters using a Graphics object) to check if a font is fixed-width?

DoCmd.TransferText acExportFixed, "schema.ini", "table_ABC", "C: estingTestData.txt"
But I am getting error message: "Run time error-3625 The text file specification 'schema.ini' does not exist.You cannot import, export, or link using the specification."
Here schema.ini is at same location as of text file. i.e. "C: esting"
I tried with
DoCmd.TransferText acExportFixed, "C: estingschema.ini", "table_ABC", C: estingTestData.txt"
but no success.
For delimited format it is working fine
DoCmd.TransferText acExportDelim, "", "VDMMEMBS", "C: estingTestData.txt"

I am trying to load a text file into an Access 2007 table. I know you can read the file line by line and then create a record out of each line. i was trying to see if this could be done with an INSERT INTO rather than cyclying through all lines of text. My text file is not character delimited but rather by fixed column width. For example:[code]The data in the example has spaces for readability but in reality the data are clumped together like so [code]I cant figure out how to tell the command how the data is structured. I know you can use a schema file but there's got to be a way to do this all through code.

View 1 RepliesIt seems that on clicking datagridview column header, the column will be automatically sorted based on the column type. I have a column showing some numbers. If column type is string, it sorts "1","20","3" into "1","20","3". If column type is double, it sorts into "1","3","20" which is the result that I want. However, there might be some erros in the numbers and error messages(text) will show in the cell instead of numbers. So I cannot set the column type as double. I want to ignore these error messages and sort all the numbers. How can I do this?
Also, I need to add some background colors to different rows in datagridview. So in the column header click event, I call the bkgColor Sub to achieve this. My question is that how can I override the sorting method in this event?
