ComboBox & DataGrid

Nov 22 2004 3:27 AM
Stupid question, but annoying nonetheless: I am trying to add dropdown boxes to a datagrid control. I have successfully gotten them added, but the rows do not show the selected value. I try updating the DataTable, but to no avail. Any ideas? Ryan Ross Code: private System.Windows.Forms.DataGrid CatalogLanguages; private System.Windows.Forms.DataGridTextBoxColumn CatalogLanguagesComboBoxColumn; private DataGrid.HitTestInfo CatalogLanguagesHitTest; private System.Data.DataTable Languages; private System.Windows.Forms.ComboBox CatalogLanguagesComboBox; private void NewCatalog_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e) { Languages = new System.Data.DataTable(); Languages.Columns.Add(new System.Data.DataColumn("Language")); Languages.Columns.Add(new System.Data.DataColumn("Display Name")); CatalogLanguages.DataSource = Languages; if(!CatalogLanguages.TableStyles.Contains("Language")) { //Create a DataGridTableStyle object DataGridTableStyle dgdtblStyle = new DataGridTableStyle(); //Set its properties dgdtblStyle.MappingName = Languages.TableName;//its table name of dataset CatalogLanguages.TableStyles.Add(dgdtblStyle); dgdtblStyle.RowHeadersVisible = false; dgdtblStyle.HeaderBackColor = Color.LightSteelBlue; dgdtblStyle.AllowSorting = false; dgdtblStyle.HeaderBackColor = Color.Navy;//.FromArgb(8,36,107); dgdtblStyle.HeaderForeColor = Color.White; dgdtblStyle.HeaderFont = new System.Drawing.Font("Microsoft Sans Serif", 9F, System.Drawing.FontStyle.Bold, System.Drawing.GraphicsUnit.Point, ((System.Byte)(0))); dgdtblStyle.GridLineColor = Color.DarkGray; dgdtblStyle.PreferredRowHeight = 22; CatalogLanguages.BackgroundColor= Color.DarkGray; //Take the columns in a GridColumnStylesCollection object and set //the size of the //individual columns GridColumnStylesCollection colStyle; colStyle = CatalogLanguages.TableStyles[0].GridColumnStyles; colStyle[0].Width = 220; colStyle[1].Width = 220; //colStyle[2].Width = 150; } CatalogLanguagesComboBoxColumn = (DataGridTextBoxColumn)CatalogLanguages.TableStyles[0].GridColumnStyles[0]; CatalogLanguagesComboBoxColumn.TextBox.GotFocus += new EventHandler(this.CLCBC_GotFocus); //CatalogLanguagesComboBoxColumn.TextBox.LostFocus += new EventHandler(this.CLCBC_LostFocus); } private void CLCBC_GotFocus(object o, EventArgs e) { CatalogLanguagesComboBox = new ComboBox(); CatalogLanguagesComboBox.DropDownStyle = System.Windows.Forms.ComboBoxStyle.DropDown; CatalogLanguagesComboBox.Cursor = System.Windows.Forms.Cursors.Arrow; CatalogLanguagesComboBox.Dock = DockStyle.Fill; CatalogLanguagesComboBox.Items.AddRange(new string[5]{"","Information Technology","Computer Science","Bio Technology","Electrical Engg"}); for(int i = 0; i < Languages.Rows.Count; i++) { CatalogLanguagesComboBoxColumn.TextBox.Controls.Add(CatalogLanguagesComboBox); CatalogLanguagesComboBox.BringToFront(); CatalogLanguagesComboBox.SelectedValueChanged += new EventHandler(this.CLCB_LostFocus); } } private void CLCB_LostFocus(object o, EventArgs e) { System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine(CatalogLanguagesComboBox.SelectedItem); //System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine(Languages.Rows.Count); //System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine(CatalogLanguagesHitTest.Row); for(int i = 0; i < Languages.Rows.Count; i++) { if(CatalogLanguagesHitTest.Row == i) { //System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine(i);// = CatalogLanguagesComboBox.SelectedItem; Languages.Rows[i].ItemArray[0] = "Here"; //Languages.AcceptChanges(); } } } private void CatalogLanguages_MouseDown(object sender, System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs e) { CatalogLanguagesHitTest = CatalogLanguages.HitTest(e.X,e.Y); }
