I have been asked to convert a column (11) in a datagridview. The dgv is populated in code thusly:
Dim dt As DataTable = MyDAL.GetDataTable(SQL, Params)
With dgvContracts
.DataSource = dt
.Columns(0).Visible = False
.Columns(1).Visible = False

I have a datagrid that I am unable to change the width setting, it always reverts back to the original setting.
To change this setting:
1. select the datagrid view tasks
2. Edit columns bound column properties
3. Select Width property
4. Width property will always revert back to the original setting.
I have check the properties settings without any luck.
I've been able to add my own non-bound columns to a DATAGRIDVIEW - such as a check box column.But I'm not seeing how to take a bound column and make that column be a combobox. Doesn't appear to allow that.Do I have to hide the real column and add a "fake" front-end column that I make a combobox?
View 1 RepliesI am creating a DataSet:

I have a string field, EventAction, that is in the database.I want that column to be a combobox column.I want to add the different EventActions to the list and let the user select the action they desire.
I have a DGV I am working on, and I have many columns.
For example I have Columns colcase(Combobox), colreportTime(Time)
the combox shows 4 cases {A,B,C,D}
what I need to do is if the user select "C"
the the colreporttime will show the time of this change unless the old value is C
I have generated datagridview column dinamicly by code
DataSet1.Clear()
SqlDataAdapter1.Fill(DataSet1.Tables(0))
DataGridView1.DataSource = DataSet1.Tables(0)

I have a ComboBox with its datasource being a dataset from a SQL Server database.
The width of its columns are relative to the width of the name of the columns. I would like to increase that width in order to see the content properly and not cuted.[code]...
title is a bit vague. Is there any way I can tell if it's the user or the code that's altered a combobox? I want certain things to happen when a combobox is updated, but I don't want them to happen when the code is altering the combobox at runtime, only when the user selects something out of them. Unfortunately, if I use the 'Selectedindexchanged' option that triggers when I change the contents in code too. I've tried disabled the combobox while I update it, but that doesn't seem to work. Any way to detect user input only? My combobox is drop-down only by the way, so it's only if they select an option - they can't type anything.

I want to make this text the selected index 0.
Has anyone here tried putting a combobox to a bound datagridview? The selected value of the combobox will depend on the value of the corresponding column in the database.
I have a datagridview. When the user clicks the edit button, the application fetches the records from the database and binds it to the datagriview. But I want to show the Gender Column as combobox with selectable 'Male' and 'Female' values.
How could I add a combobox to bound datagridview?
I bind a datatable to the combobox.DataSource on load. I then give the combobox aisplayMember and a ValueMember (2 different columns out of the datatable). In the SelectedIndexChanged of the combobox I would like to use the SelectedValue property of the combobox, just to test I MsgBox(combobox.SelectedValue) and I get "Argument 'Prompt' cannot be converted to type 'String'." Why isn't it displaying the value?
OnLoad
cbCISoftware.DataSource = dbMaps.Tables("maps")

I have a bound combo box that choose employee profiles and fill the form controls.
I can edit the selected profile nicely, but how to delete that selected profile?
The combo box is bound to a sql table. When i use the...

So how can i delete this selected item or any item i want from that bound combo box?
I've got a combo box that's bound to a virtualpathbinding source. The column it's bound to (Display and value members) have duplicates that I'm trying to hide/remove.

I am using a bound combobox control in a vb.net application. How do I set the combo box to an item if I know the value of the ValueMember, but I don't know the DisplayMember. I can use the FindExactString method if I know the DisplayMember, but not if I only know the ValueMember.In explanation, the value member is an employee Number, the display member is the Name. I get the employee number from a detail item in another table and now I want to set the combobox to display the Name that goes with that detail item.
Can someone post some vb code to show how to do this.

I have looked all over the web for a way to set up a VB 2008 combobox but what I have seen makes me shudder! I want to , as In Access VBA, set the recordsource/datasource for the combobox i.e. the list shown in the combobox, to the values of another table (currency) and then when the user selects one of these values to store it in the (already) bound field of the combobox (to another table). In Access of course there was a wizard for this sort of thing, but in VB 2008 looks like it is just lots of code.
View 7 RepliesThere is a connection in my program to SQL Server and there is a query which is bound to a combo box, to pull out values from the database. For some reason, I get an error message during run-time, saying that the syntax is incorrect.
Here's the query:
'The SQL Command to be executed:
projs = New SqlCommand("use " & Me.ComboBox1.Text & "''" & _
"go" & _
"select name from projects where condition = 'Y'", cnn1)
cnn1 is the name of my SQL Client connection.

For icounter = 0 To Me.ConversationTblDataGridView.RowCount - 1

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 have created a search/query facility after watching one of Beth Messi's videos. I notice that we can convert the textboxes on the auto generated search toolstrip to buttons, comboxes, etc. So, when we wanna search for a data in the datagridview, we enter a keyword. I wonder if it is possible to change the textboxes to comboboxes and make it bind to the datasources, so that users can use the drop down, instead of typing?
View 6 RepliesI am working on a bound DataGrid that displays data from a database. I'm using Silverlight 5 if that helps. Currently all the data is stored in a Dictionary within the my entity object. Using the Property[Key] syntax for the binding path binds properly for display purposes. But the column acts like it is readonly when trying to change a column value in runtime.

My only thought right now is to store the column values in ordered lists and display them using an index rather than key. But I would really like to know why the key isn't working.
