I've been searching and searching, but I haven't been able to find a halfway-decent way of adding multiple columns of data into a WPF VB.NET ListView. The data I'm adding is not from a datasource. [code]...
I am trying to populate a multi-column listview from a file. I have gotten as far as reading the correct data from the file to an array and populating the correct columns with said data. However, sometimes the array will span multiple lines of data in the file and I need all of these matches to populate the listview but the code that I have now only populates the listview with the data from the first matching line. I have tried declaring the variables as listviewitems instead of strings, which allowed me to use listView.Items.AddRange(arr) but then all of the data appeared in the first column instead of spread across all columns like it is supposed to. At this point I am at a loss because I can only figure out how to either fill the first column with all data or fill all columns with only the first line of data. Here is the code that I have

It is really only the last part of the If.. Then statement that I need help with. I was thinking that a loop would accomplish what I am trying but I am still pretty new to VB and do not know the correct code.
I have been reading books and the forums for a rew days now trying to work out how to use any control to carry out the following:Basically, I want to display a selection e.g "Club Name" in a combobox (or similar control) and have the ID of that selection in a separate hidden column e.g. "ClubID". This will allow me to easily reference and store the actual "ClubID" in the required record when I save it back to the database.I can not use the "SelectedIndex" property of the control as the combobox is populated from a 'sorted' stored procedure so the "SelectedIndex" does not match the actual index of the selection.
I have found lots of posts saying use the "ListView" control, but none of them actually show examples of how to bind the control to a data control to acheive what I need.What I am after is a turorial showing ADO code (because I want to hard code this to get a better understanding of how it all works) binding a multi-column control to a SQL database.
I have an Excel based algo-trading app that needs to take in lots of real-time data, and make trading decisions based on the calculations driven by the data. It is not one of those "read-only" stock ticker kinda spreadsheets.I created a COM object with VB.NET that runs in its own thread space which collects data from a socket, and when the data is read it raises an Event with data attached. In Excel VBA, the event handler parses the data, puts them to the right places on the spreadsheet to feed calculations (so far it sounds like a stock ticker app), and then, based on the results of the various calculations it does something.The problem is that when the user starts to click around the spreadsheet while there is large amount of data coming, the event handler's cell updating breaks apart. If the app is left alone without user action, it stands well. My frustration comes from not understanding what happens to the main thread when a user clicks around. Either the event handler blocks the user action, or the user action blocks the event handler (under which case I will put in some queuing facility). But I just don't see how user action can break the code (like causing VBA to stop executing)
I have a gridview where I need to have column names within 1 sortable pageable gridview as the same name, but when I set up the sql query as
select x as 'col', y as 'col', z as 'col'
it shows up in the gridview with autogeneratecolumns on (theres a lot of columns in the page I don't feel like not autogenning it)
and it shows up as
col col1 col2
in the gridview but I want it to just be col, col, and col. I understand that this could cause a sorting problem without turning autogenerate columns off, but I was hoping there was some type of work around.
First, I don't fully understand why VBA can have a multi column combobox but full VB doesn't? What purpose does it serve to only have a drop down list of text strings? I know there is an index property, but what if the items in the drop down can't logically be associated with an index value?
Anyways, here is my problem. I have an enumeration value that I want to add to a combobox. I have the code to go through and add the text of each enumeration value to a combobox. This is fine for enumerations whose values progress in order from 0-whatever. However, I have some enumerations whose values are, for example[code]...
I am currently using the following code to store all of the items from a listbox control in an array, and then build a string based on the array items, trimming the last two character of the string to remove the ", ". I am looking to do something similiar for my multicolumn listview control but am concerned about how to store the multiple subitems for each item in the array.
Dim myStr (listbox1.items.count) as String 'store all active medications information in an array & build a string For i As Integer = 0 To listbox1.Items.Count - 1
Can a listview multiselect in the same way as a listbox can, when it is set to electionMode = multiSimple?for instance when the listbox is set to selectionMode = multiSimpleyou can just select any number of items in the listbut...with a listview you can only multi-select when you hold down Ctrl. As soon as you lift the Ctrl key and click on an item it de-selects everything and only selects the last one you selected
I have a favourite form and it has 2 colums i want to save both colums to a text file then when the form reloads i want it to read the text file and display the info in the text file
In one of my other posts I asked how would I update more than 1 item in a listview, I have been still figuring that out when It occured to me that I could use code along the lines of this
Dim a As Integer = 0 Dim days As String Do Until a = ListView1.Items.Count
I need to add data into a multi-column list, manually, in codes. I am using VB Express 2008. Could someone please hint me on how to do this with the following controls:
The ListBox or the ListView The Grid (I think it is the DataGridView)
Or anyother simple way of doing the stuff. All I want is simplicity.
I have a listbox with two columns. Each listbox item contains a horizontal stacked panel which in turn contains textblocks.
The listbox is empty, with each listbox item being added by the end-user through a couple of textboxes placed elsewhere. The first column accepts strings, and the second column accepts only percentages.
(I have attached a relevant portion of the event sub where a user is adding new rows.)
Private Sub btnAddItem_Click(sender As System.Object, e As System.Windows.RoutedEventArgs) Handles btnAddSplit.Click '... Dim ListBoxItemName As New TextBlock
[Code]....
I would like to be able to check every time the above event is fired that the column of percentages does not exceed 100%. I have a couple of labels below the listbox itself where I would like to show the running total and the remainder.
My questions are:
1) How can I loop through the second column of percentages to show the running total and remainder?
2) Is there something more suitable than a ListBox that could make this easier?
I got a very simple question regarding resizing listview columns. I have a form with a listview anchored to it (top, bottom, left, right). The form is resizable and the user will be able to resize the listview columns manually. However, I need the listview to resize its columns automatically when the form is resized (especially when its maximized).
But, I don't want all the columns to resize, only the ones I choose. For example, the listview will have 6 columns in total (0-5). When the user resizes or maximizes the window, I need only columns 2 and 4 (or columns 3 and 5 or columns 1 and 5) to resize. Now, I have come up with two pieces of code as listed below.
Code Part A: The following code only resizes one column. When the form is maximized, only the column ID provided will resize and fill the rest of the control. It works perfectly but I need to be able to resize multiple columns (as explained above):
Public Sub lvResizeSingleCol(ByVal resizeColumn As Integer, ByVal listViewName As ListView) Dim w As Integer = 0 For column As Integer = 0 To listViewName.Columns.Count - 1 If column <> resizeColumn Then w += listViewName.Columns(column).Width [Code] .....
I made a program (As usual) that plays media files using the ax.interlop.wmp.dll (windows media player). I also made a listview on the form that has gridlines. i have a problem with my mutiselect feature though. it just adds the same filename for every file, but in the amount files (Ex: if there is 8 files, it adds the name of the first one 8 times) i just want it to add every single filename to different rows, here is the current code that i have:
Sub openFile() With OpenFileDialog1 .DefaultExt = "Mp3"
Ok lets say you have a listview well call it "lv". There are items A, B, C and D. If i select A, C and D (holding ctrl) and hit a button it enters A, C, and D in a text box like below
"A(space)C(space)D(space)" note: (space) is a space
how would i go about doing this? Below is the button that you would hit to send the selected items text into the textbox. (doesnt work)ERROR i keep getting: InvalidArgument=Value of '3' is not valid for 'index'. Parameter name: index
I'm using vs2008 with vb.net, and I have googled all around for a multi column combobox and I know there is not an easy way to do it in .net. However, this is my situation:I have a table in my database that only has around 4 or 5 entries, with the columns FirstName, LastName, Type. I need all of these columns for each of the 4 or 5 entries to be displayed in the combobox. I've been trying to think of simple ways to do it such as counting all the rows, selecting each cell in a loop and programmatically assigning them to the comboboxes, but I realized that the ID column for these entries have numbers that do not go chronologically. (I thought that if I counted the rows, the row number would correspond to the ID number and I could go about looping and assigning variables/concatenating them into the combobox, but this is not the case).
So I am just looking to see if anyone else has any ideas on what I can do to solve this? It's a pretty simple problem but I'm kinda out of any simple ideas.
How should I handle image files of various sizes (<1 mb upto 15mb) within a mobile application that I am developing? Currently, I am displaying the image full size using a ASHX file inside of an ASP Win Form using the ASP Image Class. So basically what I would like to know how should I go about dealing with these sometimes vastly different image sizes. Would copying the image to be displayed and then scaling it on the server to whatever dimensions I decide and then displaying it in the browser be a better way of "handling" images especially in an mobile browser?
Means if i have two columns in database namely name & email i wanna search the users or email by entering either name or email on textbox then after clicking the search button record will be displayed in gridview ?can anybody tell me the select query for this ?
