How Can i detect return key in datagridTextBoxColumn

26-Dec-02 20:55

Either:

RadioButton1.DataBindings.Add(New System.Windows.Forms.Binding("Value", Mydataset, "client.stop_serv1"))<br />
<br />
RadioButton2.DataBindings.Add(New System.Windows.Forms.Binding("Value", Mydataset, "client.stop_serv2"))

Or, can you just use a check box and bind the Checked property?

Hi,
Please I need help.
I created a form that allows me searching customers by name. after display customers list in datagrid, i want allow user to select one customer by pressing key.
for grid setup, i tried the following code :

'Configuration de la grille
Private Sub DataGridSetup()
Dim ts As New DataGridTableStyle()
Dim cs As New DataGridTextBoxColumn()
AddHandler cs.TextBox.KeyPress, AddressOf CellKeyPress
DataGrid1.ContextMenu = ContextMenu1
DataGrid1.CaptionText = "Résultat"
ts.MappingName = "mycli"
cs.MappingName = "c_cli"
cs.HeaderText = "Code"
cs.Alignment = HorizontalAlignment.Center
ts.GridColumnStyles.Add(cs)
cs = New DataGridTextBoxColumn()
cs.MappingName = "N_cli"
cs.HeaderText = "Nom/Raison sociale"
ts.GridColumnStyles.Add(cs)
DataGrid1.TableStyles.Clear()
DataGrid1.TableStyles.Add(ts)
End Sub

and i added handler to datagridtextboxcolumn, for detecting the keypress events as follows :

'Ajout d'un évènement aux cellules
Public Sub CellKeyPress(ByVal Sender As Object, ByVal e As KeyPressEventArgs)
Dim dt As DataTable = ds.Tables("mycli")
Dim p As Integer
CodeClient = Space(11)
If e.KeyChar = Chr(13) Then
p = Me.BindingContext(ds, "mycli").Position
CodeClient = dt.Rows(p)("c_cli")
Me.Close()
End If

End Sub

So after writing this code, i can select one customer only after pressing SHIFT+RETURN.

please can you explain me way i must first press
SHIFT.

Thank you very match.

Intibnin...

The return key is captured to end edits. If you begin editing a DataGridTextBoxColumn and then press enter the edit will end.

If you want to override this you'll have to be really careful or edits or use the column as read-only.

The easiest (maybe only) way to do this would be to creat your own wrapper which inherits the DataGridTextBoxColumn class. Eg:

Public Class DataGridTextBoxSelectorColumn<br />
    Inherits DataGridTextBoxColumn<br />
<br />
    Public ...<br />
End Class

From here you should be able to override the key events. Be careful that if your not going to actually do anything on the event that you call the equivalent MyBase.whatever event.

Hi Tatham,

Thank you for your help.

I tried your code bu it doesn't work.

if you can clarify more.

I attract your attention that the return key is completely omitted in the datagrid and all the other keys work correctly. Probably because <enter> key appears in the list of keyboard shortcut of the datagrid control

thank you for advance.

LabelArray and MenuItemArray

25-Dec-02 15:48

If it is VB6...

When you set the properties for your toolbar, you have to set the key for each button, for example, "IDX_NEW","IDX_OPEN", etc.

Then

<br />
Private Sub toolbar_ButtonClick(ByVal Button as MSComctlLib.Button)<br />
Select Case Button.Key<br />
   Case "IDX_NEW"<br />
      coding<br />
   Case "IDX_OPEN"<br />
      coding<br />
........<br />
<br />

Both these object are from the vb6.compatibility namespace and are used to represent control array when upgrading a project from vb6 to .net. Microsoft does not recommend the use of these objects for new .net projects sinse they will not support it in later versions. However, if you still want to use them...

First add the controls to the form, say lblArray,lbl_0,lbl_1,lbl_2

then

<br />
Public Sub Form_Load()<br />
    lblArray.SetIndex(lbl_0,Ctype(0,Short)<br />
    lblArray.SetIndex(lbl_1,Ctype(1,Short)<br />
    lblArray.SetIndex(lbl_2,Ctype(2,Short)<br />
End Sub<br />

You can then reference these controls as lblArray(i), where i = 0,1,2

though IMHO, it's better than you not use them. Instead just declare an array of labels and assign each control to it

How to pass a ADO object as a parameter to a function?

23-Dec-02 9:29

in the error handler take a look at the error message and error number to give an indication as to why your handler is being called.

But do you understand WHY this worked? I think that is more important.

Using parens in VB mandates that your function RETURN something.

For example:

Public Function AddNumbers(numOne As Integer, numTwo As Integer) As Ineteger

   Dim retVal as Integer

   retVal = numOne + numTwo

   AddNumbers = retVal

End Function

This function would be called like so:

Dim answer As Integer

answer = AddNumbers(1, 2)

If you have a Subroutine they generally don't return anything. This is afterall the main difference between a Function and a Subroutine. Functions do soemthing AND return something.

Given a Subroutine as such:

Public Sub DisplaySomething(something As String)
   Debug.Print something
End Sub

Because this does not return anything it has to be called one of the following ways:

DisplaySomething "Hello World."

-or-

Call DisplaySomething("Hello World.")

This is one of the reasons that alot of people don't like VB. They feel confused by needing to rememebr if they have to use parens or not.

Generally speaking i think that using the Call keyword is bad form though. Simply don't use parens and all is fine.

Tell me about it ! Wink | ;)

And for someone like me who alternates between .net and vb6, it can get even more confusing! Thank god for .net's intellisense. I just don't bother with parens at all. Smile | :)

Really, humm, I prefer to use the parens because, I like to make it more blatently obvious that I am calling a function ( the keyword "call" helps with that blatentness)

With default functions sometimes it is not immeadly obvious what one was thinking when they wrote their code.

When you shell out to your DOS application, pipe the output to a file using the '>' directive, then reed the file in after the program is done.
