Using a DataGridColumnStyle is the best way to do this. That's what they're there for - to customize the data-bindable cells in a DataGrid. There's an easy article about this in MSDN posted a few months ago at http://msdn.microsoft.com/msdnmag/issues/03/08/DataGrids/default.aspx[^].

If you don't want to use this mechanism, then handle the DataGrid.CurrentCellChanged event, determine if you should show a ComboBox for the current cell, then add a ComboBox to the DataGrid's container's Controls collection with a higher TabStop than the DataGrid, and size the ComboBox to match the cell's extents. This is a really poor way of handling this and I'm not guaranteeing that it'll work.

Making an exe file from c# code

30-Nov-03 17:25

I’m using a simple print template: http://www.webreference.com/js/column92/7.html. I programmatically set the orientation to landscape by adding the following to the code that gets executed immediately on pageLoad:

printer.orientation = “landscape”;
alert(printer.pageHeight + “ ” + printer.pageWidth);

The expected result should be an alert that displayed (850 1100). However the page orientation is not properly updated and the alert displays (1100 1100). The width of the page is updated properly, but the width is not. The settings is actually updated in PageSetup but isn’t properly refreshed in the UI. After displaying the PageSetup and closing the dialog the UI is properly refreshed.

I need to get the orientation to work properly in the UI without any problems.

Query: The | Operator

30-Nov-03 4:53

I have some sample code Heath (Stewart) may recognise it, as it's from his Icon Extraction sample.

Anyway, I'm confused about the use of the | operator with enumerations.

<br />
	[DllImport("shell32.dll", CharSet=CharSet.Auto)]<br />
	private static extern IntPtr SHGetFileInfo(<br />
		string path,<br />
		int fileAttributes,<br />
		[MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.Struct), Out]out SHFileInfo info,<br />
		int fileInfoSize,<br />
		[MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.U4)]SHGFI flags);<br />

First is the use of the SHGFI Flags, which I take as wanting to use the Hex values as handles or refferences or pointers or something. I'm sure I'll figure it out.

The next part is:

<br />
		IntPtr retVal = SHGetFileInfo(filename, FILE_ATTRIBUTE_NORMAL,<br />
			out info, Marshal.SizeOf(typeof(SHFileInfo)),<br />
			SHGFI.AddOverlays | SHGFI.DisplayName | SHGFI.Icon | SHGFI.SmallIcon<br />
			| SHGFI.TypeName | SHGFI.UseFileAttributes);<br />

Now, how does the | operator in this work? Is it actualy an or statement? Or a collection of flags from the enumeration? If so, what effect does the | charachter have?

Thanks guys

The latter, it behave like flags. A bit-wise OR iow.

How do flags work? What is the OR required for? What do flags represent? Hex numbers paired with ordered values from an enumeration?

Cheers

J. Dunlap30-Nov-03 10:32

The bitwise OR operator combines the bits of two values into one value, making each bit that is "1" in either value be "1" in the new value, and any bit that's "0" in both be "0" in the new value. So, you're using each bit to represent a "flag" instead of having lots of boolean (true/false) values, one for each flag.

So, if you had the flags 1, 2, & 4, and OR'ed them together, each bit would represent a flag, and it would look like this (where r = result):

       binary
value  value
--------------
1  =  00000001
2  =  00000010
4  =  00000100
--------------
r  =  00000111

Dear, Sir.

How to convert "string" type to "Shortcut" type ?
For example
convert the strings, "CtrlM", "CtrlN", "CtrlO", "CtrlP", etc to Shortcut type.

Thank you.

30-Nov-03 14:23

You're lucky c# has an enum parse feature

you can use this:

System.Windows.Forms.Shortcut s = (System.Windows.Forms.Shortcut)Enum.Parse(typeof(System.Windows.Forms.Shortcut), "Alt1");

J. Dunlap30-Nov-03 16:42

30-Nov-03 16:42

The method that the post above mentions works for some but not all shortcuts (AFAIK). The preferred method is to use the KeyConverter class (in System.Windows.Forms) to do this. It does not take strings like "CtrlM", but it will take strings like "Ctrl+M" or "Ctrl+Shift+M".
