How to select a cell for edit mode from code?

Hey,
I am doing a lot of calculations to the grid through code and it is real slow if I don't use grid.beginupdate() & grid.endupdate(). However, when i call these I lose the edit of the selected cell. Oh well, so i store the current cell information and try to set it to edit after all the calculations have been done:

Me.gvRoomNights.Rows(_LastRowIndex).Cells(_LastColIndex).BeginEdit()

However this doesn't seem to work. Actually it never really loses edit, if you type it will edit. However, it doesn't look like it is in edit mode. For example, it is not white and no cursor.

Another,
When I call, grid.beginupdate() & grid.endupdate(), the gird loses all of its cell formatting as far as backcolor.

Thanks in advance

Eric

Nested PageView has 3px margin I can't get rid of

I've got a form has the following
PageView with 2 Pages (Let's call them A and B)
On Page B, I will have another PageView with n pages (Generated at run-time).

The problem that I'm having is that there is a margin inside the PageView (top [3px] and left [5px] - bottom and right have no margin) in such that I cannot get a nice flush finish. See screenshot attached. I've verified that all the properties for both Margin and Padding are set to 0.

I also noticed that in the location must be set at -5,-3 in order to line up with the edges correctly - which is the same amount that this additional margin is adding.

In fact, I wanted to change the margin to say 10 just to try going the other way (so I knew I was adjusting the correct margin property), but it only worked for the bottom margin, no others.

If someone could provide an example of what I am doing wrong, or how to nest 2 pageviews with no margin, please let me know.

Thanks

Problem with Expression in column

Hi. I have a datagrid that has a data source added programatically. I need a column to calculate an expression based on the data, but it is not working. Is it possible to combine expressions in data gridviews? Below is a snippet of my code.

With gvEntregaDetalle
    .MasterTemplate.AllowAddNewRow = False

    .Columns("Pendiente").Expression = "Cantidad-Surtido"

NumberFormat on column

Hello, I am using 2010 Q2

1)

I want to display amount in Indian format on grid column.
Is it possible to assign directly using inbuilt formatting?

OR

If not we are using below code for Microsoft Datagridview

NumberFormatInfo RupeeFormat = new NumberFormatInfo();

RupeeFormat.NumberGroupSeparator = ",";

RupeeFormat.NumberGroupSizes = new int[] {3, 2};

//NOTE: default format for decimal type columns

DataGridViewCellStyle DecimalStyleVal = New DataGridViewCellStyle();

DecimalStyleVal.FormatProvider = RupeeFormat;

DecimalStyleVal.Format = ConstantsUtils.PriceFormat;

DecimalStyleVal.NullValue = "0.00";

DecimalStyleVal.Alignment = DataGridViewContentAlignment.MiddleRight;

Now we are just using this on Form Load as shown below(not handling any formatting event)

Form_Load
{
gridview.Columns["Amount"].DefaultCellStyle = DecimalStyleVal ;
}

How to achive this in your grid, by assigning cellstyle only?
This is working perfectly in MS datagridview.

Display Example:
Decimal value = 12345678.95
( required view )
Display in dgv column = 1,23,45,678.95

Or any alternative to display format as shown in example?

2) How can i apply Numberformat to your gridview column in form loading
3) If possible how to apply for Summary also.

4)
I have a grid showing Stock price.
Which is updating every second.
I want to apply conditional formatting on that

ConditionalFormattingObject c1 = new ConditionalFormattingObject( "Grater", ConditionTypes.Greater, "5", "", true );

c1.CellBackColor = Color.LightBlue;

c1.CellForeColor = Color.Black;

ConditionalFormattingObject c2 = new ConditionalFormattingObject( "Less", ConditionTypes.Less, "5", "", true );

c2.CellBackColor = Color.IndianRed;

c2.CellForeColor = Color.Black;

ConditionalFormattingObject c3 = new ConditionalFormattingObject( "Equal", ConditionTypes.Equal, "5", "", true );

c3.CellBackColor = Color.White;

c3.CellForeColor = Color.Black;

I am using above code for generating conditions.
However, here i am having "5" as a Value1 parameter, instead of that i want to check the same cell value with the new value for same cell

Like say, A column BidPrice have value 50 (Old value backcolor = black)
New price after 1 sec is 51 (New value)

so i want to put conditionalformatting in such a way that it should check Old value and New value for setting cell colors for price change display. in this case "c1" will be applied to the cell after new value.
Display should be BidPrice 51 ( backcolor = blue )

Hope you undderstand wat i want to ask.

Thanks,

GridView

gridViewTemplate does not resize on form resize

If anyone is struggling with your template columns not resizing when your form is resized, after trying misc. things this worked for me.

It appears that the gridview redraws itself, but does not resize template columns.

private void frmMyForm_SizeChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)

{

gridViewTemplate1.Refresh();

gridViewTemplate2.Refresh();

}

Rebind / refresh a changed dataset

Hi All,

OK I am feeling somewhat stupid at the moment. I have a Windows forms app with a datagrid on it. In the menu I have an option to allow the user to resync the database with my main SQL database. It uses merge replication and it all works fine. The problem that I am having is stupidly simple by comparison to the task of syncing the data. Once the syncronisation has finished, I need the datagrid to repopulate itself with any changed data. 2 minute job I thought, an hour later I still am having issues!

There are some threads discussing what I think is the same issue but people seem to be missing the stick and talking about setting the datasource to null and then reconnecting it. Well that works but the RadGrid seems to then add in all of the hidden ID columns etc again.

Surely there is a command like Refresh (what does that do anyway? does it just redraw the grid?) that works on this. On Asp.Net Refresh does as you'd expect and refreshes the data in the grid.

All I want to do is tell the grid to reload it's data!

Any ideas anyone?

Regards,

Jon
