Why do you need unicode to send 'circumflex'?

You need the window handle of the texbox inside the instance of notepad that is running, then you can send it window messages. AKA, an ugly hack.

Binding data to specific rows

I have a gridview with users list. When I double click a row it opens a new tab with a new gridview, fetching data that does belong to that user from another table. Question is, how can I and create a connected database gridview with this selected data? I always done data task my way, using access layers and sprocs and I'd like to start learning connected/binded data operations.

Tables are like this:

Users       UserRecords
---------   ------------
ID          RecordId | UserId

The second gridview should be binded to rows from UserRecords with like UserId=1234...

I'd appreciate any info on this..

Custom Coloumn Headers? [modified]

Hi i am back here with another problem that i am facing with C#. I am still a newbie to this language and i am having a problem with my current project.

Below is a screenshot of what my project looks like at current in VS2008:

What i need is to have the column headers dynamically change depending on what option the user will select to view (client, job, contractor etc) because at current the only way i can name the column headers is by manually naming them...

This would work for the first option (client) but when the user would click on say the (job) button to view jobs in the list it will still show the column header for (client).

I have looked over the internet and in my books and the only method they show for naming column headers is by using the gui way in vs2008.

Would a way to get around this be to have a listview class for each of the nav buttons i have (client, job, contractor etc) so when a user clicks, it calls a seperate listview (so there is actually 8 list views storred but only 1 called when a button is clicked?)

Thank you in advance.

You can first clear the listview from data and then remove oclumns. After that add the new columns you need. In order to do this, have a look at: ListView.Columns Property[^].

That's one way, but I think you're wasting resources if you have several listviews and you actually need only one at a time.

The need to optimize rises from a bad design.My articles[^]

First create your columns (e.g. using VS GUI, but actually you can do it in code), then change the column header text like this:

listView1.Columns[0].Text = "Some header";

Thanks for the advice...

I have managed to get my column headers displaying from using an array. But the problem that i now face is that when i click on my "clients" button in my app the data is pulled out but it is only displaying in the first column [see image link]

could you provide me with some tips?

My code:
private void client_buttonBox_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
string[] colhead = { "Client_ID", "Company_Name", "Contact_Name", "Employee_Count" };
int p;

dataCategory = client;

// Create a ColumnHeader object
for (p = 0; p < colhead.Length; p++)
{
ColumnHeader header = new ColumnHeader();

// Set its text to be displayed
header.Text = (colhead[p]);

// Add it to the listview through its columns collection
listView1.Columns.Add(header);
}

string connectionString = "Data Source=localhost" + "; Database=deroche_consultants" + "; User ID=root" + "; Password=password;";
MySqlConnection MySqlConn = new MySqlConnection(connectionString);
string strSQL = ("SELECT company_id, contact_name, company_name, employee_count FROM client");
MySqlCommand mysqlCommand = new MySqlCommand(strSQL, MySqlConn);
MySqlDataReader Reader;
MySqlConn.Open();
Reader = mysqlCommand.ExecuteReader();
while (Reader.Read())
{
string thisrow = "";
for (int i= 0;i<reader.fieldcount;i++)>
thisrow+=Reader.GetValue(i).ToString() + ",";
listView1.Items.Add(thisrow);
}

MySqlConn.Close();
}

The first question is the listview empty when the user clicks the Clients button?
You should, probably, first clear the listview items and columns, then add new columns for the data you are loading.

In the data load code you are iterating through the rows and pushing all the columns of the reader into the first column of the listview.

Here is an example of populating a listview with several columns and data.

listView1.View = View.Details;

// add first column and set the header text
ColumnHeader col1 = new ColumnHeader();
col1.Text = "col1";
listView1.Columns.Add(col1);

// add first column and set the header text
ColumnHeader col2 = new ColumnHeader();
col2.Text = "col2";
listView1.Columns.Add(col2);
            
// adds an item to the listview and sets its text (in this case the text of the
// item is the data in the first column, the rest of the columns' data is being
// set using SubItems)
ListViewItem item = listView1.Items.Add("Hello");
item.SubItems.Add("world");

I'm sure you'll figure out the rest by yourself.
BTW, check out this link[^]

Hey i have been advised to use a datagrid and have now managed to get the data displaying which im very happy with. Two questions though, is there a way to change the appearance of the datagrid as it looks pretty ugly compared to the listview also i am trying to get all data to display on a seperate form when a client is highlighted and i m confused as whether i can use the current dataset or have to create a new one. I have created a thread:
http://www.codeproject.com/script/Forums/View.aspx?fid=1649&msg=2861198[^]

Would really appreciate the advice Smile | :)

Check the properties of the DataGridView for appearance changing, they are not very fancy though. If you want something extraordinary, you'll need to implement it yourself or get a third party gridview control.

For the master-detail see this link[^], and try to google around, you'll get a lot of examples.

menuItem with Shortcut and Icon

good day people

so i created a mainMenu in my windows form and i wanted icons in the menuItems, i found my solution here
http://www.codeproject.com/KB/menus/cs_menus.aspx[^]
problem is it sets the OwnerDraw property to true and then i cant set my shortcut keys to show that way

i go menuItem1.Shortcut = Shortcut.CtrlV;
menuItem1.ShowShortcut = true;

and it keeps showing me this in menuItems --> "&Menuitem1"

when it should be ---> "MenuItem1 Ctrl + V "

how can i have icons in my menuItems AND have Shortcut keys too? (im using Visual studio 2003)

thanks in advance

When you use OwnerDraw, then you have to draw everything you want to see yourself,
including shortcuts.

Obviously you would still want to set the Shortcut property itself so it remains operational.

Hi,

use the same way you do the menu text itself, call Graphics.DrawString using a font, a color and a position of your choice.

You find the correct column from the datagridview's columns[^] collection (which is an instance of DataGridViewComboBoxColumn). Then on DataGridViewComboBoxColumn you have Items[^] collection or DataSource[^].
