Add CheckBox To DataGridView Cell Programmatically - vb.net

I’m trying to add a CheckBox programmatically to a DataGridVew cell if the cell next to it has a value of “1”. I’m trying to do this as the rows are added
I’m hoping someone can help me out with the correct code here. I understand one of the lines of code is incorrect but I’ve put it in to illustrate what I'm trying to do.
Thanks in advance.
Private Sub Controls_DGV_RowsAdded(sender As Object, e As Windows.Forms.DataGridViewRowsAddedEventArgs) Handles Controls_DGV.RowsAdded
If Controls_DGV.Rows(e.RowIndex).Cells(2).Value = "1" Then
Controls_DGV.Rows(e.RowIndex).Cells(1).AddCheckBox ' THIS LINE IS INCORRECT
End If
End Sub

This is the same as #miguel except for the checking the value, in this case Option Strict is On as it should be.
Public Class Form1
Private Sub dataGridView1_RowsAdded(sender As Object, e As DataGridViewRowsAddedEventArgs) _
Handles dataGridView1.RowsAdded
If CStr(dataGridView1.Rows(e.RowIndex).Cells(1).Value) <> "1" Then
dataGridView1.Rows(e.RowIndex).Cells(0).Value = False
dataGridView1.Rows(e.RowIndex).Cells(0) = New DataGridViewTextBoxCell()
dataGridView1.Rows(e.RowIndex).Cells(0).Value = ""
dataGridView1.Rows(e.RowIndex).Cells(0).ReadOnly = True
End If
End Sub
Private Sub AddRowsButton_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) _
Handles AddRowsButton.Click
For index As Integer = 0 To 5
If CBool(index Mod 2) Then
dataGridView1.Rows.Add(False, "0")
Else
dataGridView1.Rows.Add(False, "1")
End If
Next
End Sub
End Class

The column number 1 that you want to display a checkbox should already be of type DataGridViewCheckBoxColumn and then if the value is not "1" you can transform the type of the cell for a DataGridViewTextBoxCell, so there is no checkbox and you can even put there some text if you want. Because you're using 3 columns, i'll try to do the same.
In your Form1_Load() you should have something like this if you are adding columns programmatically:
Dim ChkBox As New DataGridViewCheckBoxColumn
Controls_DGV.Columns.Add("TextBox1", "TextBox1")
Controls_DGV.Columns.Add(ChkBox)
Controls_DGV.Columns.Add("TextBox2", "TextBox2")
Then using your code it should be like this:
Private Sub Controls_DGV_RowsAdded(sender As Object, e As Windows.Forms.DataGridViewRowsAddedEventArgs) Handles Controls_DGV.RowsAdded
If Controls_DGV.Rows(e.RowIndex).Cells(2).Value <> "1" Then
' replace the checkbox cell by textbox cell
Controls_DGV.Rows(e.RowIndex).Cells(1) = New DataGridViewTextBoxCell()
Controls_DGV.Rows(e.RowIndex).Cells(1).Value = "(empty or some text)"
End If
End Sub

How to pass the 2nd selected row in datagridview to textbox?

How do i pass my 2nd selected row in datagridview to textboxt. I only know how to put the first data. How do i pass the 2nd selected to textbox?
Dim i As Integer
i = DataGridView2.SelectedRows(0).Index
Me.txtEmployeeID.Text = DataGridView2.Item(0, i).Value
you can use this code it worked for me
Dim test As String = DataGridView1.SelectedRows(0).Cells(2).Value.ToString
You need to only change the .cell(Here write the index value of the cell)
Then you can use the string value to fill up textbox
Try using the following:
Dim secondRow as integer = 0
Private Sub DataGridView2_CellContentClick(sender As Object, e As DataGridViewCellEventArgs) Handles DataGridView2.CellClick
'assuming that by second selected row, you mean the row after the selected row
secondRow = e.RowIndex + 1
End Sub
Private Sub RowToTextBox()
Try
For i = 0 to DataGridView2.ColumnCount - 1
txtEmployeeID.Text &= DataGridView2.Item(i, secondRow)
Next
Catch ex as Exception
MsgBox("You have selected the final row")
End Try
End Sub
I don't think Me. is needed when referring to a textbox in the same form.
Since you don't know how many rows your user will select, I think looping thought the SelectedRows collection might work. I used the Name column because that is what I happened to have in my grid. Instead of a MessageBox you could add the values to a ListBox.
Private Sub Button2_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Button2.Click
For Each GridRow As DataGridViewRow In DataGridView1.SelectedRows
MessageBox.Show($"Value is {GridRow.Cells("Name").Value}")
Next
End Sub

How to make cell readonly if the second cell is empty

The user should not be able to input a qty where the unit is empty in the datagridview.
To make it clear, I want to make the cell readonly = true if unit column is empty.
The colUOM4 is the name of the column that if the cell of this column is empty the olNewQty2 cell will be readonly.
I tried this code but it didn't work
Public Sub UnitEmpty()
For i As Integer = 0 To dgvCount.RowCount - 1
If dgvCount.Rows(i).Cells("colUOM4").Value Is Nothing Then
MessageBox.Show("It worked!")
dgvCount.Rows(i).Cells("colNewQty2").ReadOnly = True
Else
MessageBox.Show("Nothing happened!")
Exit For
End If
Next
End Sub
I'd recommend not using a loop because that will only set the state when you execute it and not react to any changes. I'd suggest working at the row and cell level, i.e. set the default state when a row is added and then react when a specific cell changes, e.g.
Private Sub DataGridView1_RowsAdded(sender As Object, e As DataGridViewRowsAddedEventArgs) Handles DataGridView1.RowsAdded
For i = e.RowIndex To e.RowIndex + e.RowCount - 1
'Make the first cell in each new row read-only by default.
DataGridView1(0, i).ReadOnly = True
Next
End Sub
Private Sub DataGridView1_CellValueChanged(sender As Object, e As DataGridViewCellEventArgs) Handles DataGridView1.CellValueChanged
'Check whether the change is in the second column.
If e.RowIndex >= 0 AndAlso e.ColumnIndex = 1 Then
Dim row = DataGridView1.Rows(e.RowIndex)
'Make the first cell in the row read-only if and only if the second cell is empty.
row.Cells(0).ReadOnly = (row.Cells(1).Value Is Nothing)
End If
End Sub

Hide rows if column contains particular text/ string

I have a datagridview wich I have no bound datasource too I also have a button and three rows in my datagridview. If my column named STATUS contains the word CLOSED I would like to hide that entire row but i dont want to delete it just hide it.
If anyone woyuld like to know I am ussing VB.net
How can I do this?
If you are using a bound datasource you want to capture the DataGridView.DataSourceChanged event.
Would look like this.
Private Sub DataGridView1_DataSourceChanged(sender As Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles DataGridView1.DataSourceChanged
For Each row As DataGridViewRow In DirectCast(sender, DataGridView).Rows
If row.Cells("status").Value.ToString.ToLower.Contains("Closed") Then
row.Visible = False
End If
Next
End Sub
If you are not using a datasource you would want to capture the DataGridView.RowsAdded event.
Would look like this.
Private Sub DataGridView1_RowsAdded(sender As Object, e As System.Windows.Forms.DataGridViewRowsAddedEventArgs) Handles DataGridView1.RowsAdded
Dim dg As DataGridView = sender
If dg.Columns.Count > 0 And e.RowIndex <> 0 Then
Dim theRow As DataGridViewRow = dg.Rows(e.RowIndex)
If theRow.Cells("status").Value.ToString.ToLower.Contains("closed") Then
theRow.Visible = False
End If
End If
End Sub

Why is gridview.selectedColumns nothing?

I want to run a code like this, but it always jumps over the loop, so I see no line in the console.
That means that selectedColumns is empty. My assumption was that I (or the user) select a cell from a Column and then, selectedColummns are +1. But as it looks, it doesnt work. Then I tried to set proberties of selectionMode to select full columns, but then an exception is thrown:
"System.InvalidOperationException" Additional Information: the SortMode cannot be Automatic, if full Column selection is selected.
I don't know what SortMode is.
For Each col As DataGridViewColumn In datagridview2.SelectedColumns
Console.Write(datagridview2.SelectedColumns.Count)
Console.Write("1")
Next
Any Ideas how to get that the columns into selectedColumns?
Here my code that solved my problem, but I guess it is not the smartest one:
Private Sub Button2_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Button2.Click
Dim body As String = ""
Dim myWriter As New StreamWriter("H:\downloads\test.csv", True)
Dim list As List(Of Integer) = New List(Of Integer)
For Each cell As DataGridViewCell In datagridview2.SelectedCells
If list.Contains(cell.ColumnIndex) = False Then
list.Add(cell.ColumnIndex)
End If
Next
For i = 0 To datagridview2.Rows.Count - 1
For ix = 0 To datagridview2.Columns.Count - 1
If list.Contains(ix) Then
If datagridview2.Rows(i).Cells(ix).Value IsNot Nothing Then
body = body + datagridview2.Rows(i).Cells(ix).Value.ToString + ";"
Else
body = body + ";"
End If
End If
Next
myWriter.WriteLine(body)
body = ""
Next
myWriter.Close()
End Sub
You need to do this after the selected changed event has fired.
For example:
Private Sub Mydg_ColSelected(sender As Object, e As SelectionChangedEventArgs) Handles datagridview2.SelectionChanged
For Each col As DataGridViewColumn In datagridview2.SelectedColumns
Console.Write(datagridview2.SelectedColumns.Count)
Console.Write("1")
Next
End Sub
Or if this isn't what you are after, then try handling the ColumnHeaderMouseClick event instead. I'm not sure what technology you are using, e.g Winforms, WPF, silverlight

Capturing value of DataGridView CheckBox in VB.Net

I have a datagridview (unbound). Fields are Name, Family Name and Phone No and a checkbox colum.
There are ten rows in that DataGridView.
There is an OK button
I need to get message of showing which rows user has checked. The message should appear when user clicks on the OK button. There could be several messages, checking each row one by one, in a loop.
I am not able to get this message. I tried following code in OK button :
Dim strCB As String = dgvChooseQs.Rows(0).Cells(3).Value.ToString
Cell(3) is my checkbox. Do not consider Rows(0), at the moment I am just checking value at row 0
Thanks for your help.

Do not use the cell index. Your checkbox column must have a name so you should use it.
Otherwise, what you want to do would be something like this
For each oRow as DataGridViewRow in dgvChooseQs.Rows
If oRow.Cells("ColNamE").Value = True then
'do whatever you need to do.
End if
Next
If you feel you need to cast the column, then you can use CType, but the type is DataGridViewCheckBoxCell, not CheckBox.
You need to do something like this:
if ctype(dgvChooseQs.Rows(0).findcontrol("whateverYourCheckBoxIsNamed"), checkbox).checked then
'throw the message
end if
You may cast the cell value to Boolean, and then check it, as follows:
Dim RowIndex As Integer = ...
Dim ColumnIndex As Integer = ...
Dim IsTicked As Boolean = CBool(DataGridView1.Rows(RowIndex).Cells(ColumnIndex).Value)
If IsTicked Then
MessageBox.Show("You ticked the box.")
Else
MessageBox.Show("You cleared the box.")
End If
Only the third example worked for me but I had to add a Timer
Private Sub DgvElencoFile_CellClick(sender As Object, e As DataGridViewCellEventArgs) Handles DgvElencoFile.CellClick
'Variabili gestione programma
Dim numerocolonnaSelezionata As Integer
Dim numeroColonnaSelezionataPerDowonload As Integer
Dim numeroRigaSelezionata As Integer
numeroRigaSelezionata = e.RowIndex
NumerocolonnaSelezionata = e.ColumnIndex
If NumeroRigaSelezionata < 0 Then
ClaFunzSgnSon.SegnaleSonoro(ClaFunzSgnSon.EnTipoSgnSon.ErroreImpostazioneDati)
GoTo FineSubFunz
End If
numeroColonnaSelezionataPerDowonload = -1
If DgvElencoFile.Rows(numeroRigaSelezionata).Cells(ClnDownLoad.Name).Selected Then numeroColonnaSelezionataPerDowonload = numerocolonnaSelezionata
If numeroColonnaSelezionataPerDowonload >= 0 Then
TimVisCheckDownLoad.Start()
End If
FineSubFunz:
End Sub
Private Sub TimVisCheckDownLoad_Tick(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles TimVisCheckDownLoad.Tick
TimVisCheckDownLoad.Stop()
Dim isTickedOn = CBool(DirectCast(DgvElencoFile.CurrentCell, DataGridViewCheckBoxCell).EditingCellFormattedValue)
If isTickedOn Then
MessageBox.Show("You ticked the box.")
Else
MessageBox.Show("You cleared the box.")
End If
End Sub
I found a simple solution.
Just change the cell focus after click on cell.
Private Sub DGV_CellContentClick(sender As Object, e As DataGridViewCellEventArgs) Handles DGV.CellContentClick
If e.ColumnIndex = "Here checkbox column id or name" Then
DGV.Item(e.ColumnIndex, e.RowIndex + 1).Selected = True
'Here your code
MsgBox DGV.Item(e.ColumnIndex, e.RowIndex).Value
End If
End Sub
Don't forget to check if the column of your (ckeckbox + 1) index exist.
Set type of grid in dataGridView to 'DataGridViewCheckBoxXColumn' instead of DataGridViewCheckBoxColumn.
all problems will be solved
The post is old but it can help in need:
You have these three properties after casting your cell:
Private Sub YourDataGridView_CellMouseClick(sender As Object, e As DataGridViewCellMouseEventArgs) Handles YourDataGridView.CellMouseClick
Dim b, b1, b2 As Boolean
b = DirectCast(YourDataGridView.CurrentCell, DataGridViewCheckBoxCell).EditingCellValueChanged
b1 = CBool(DirectCast(YourDataGridView.CurrentCell, DataGridViewCheckBoxCell).EditingCellFormattedValue)
b2 = CBool(DirectCast(YourDataGridView.CurrentCell, DataGridViewCheckBoxCell).EditedFormattedValue)
End Sub
it's a long time since this question was sent, but can be useful this answer to anybody with the same issue. In my case, I used (I'm using your notation):
dgvChooseQs.Item(6, vCont).State
where 6 is the checkbox column number, in my case column 6. vCont is an iteration counter in a FOR NEXT loop. If State equals 32, checkbox was checked, else State will be zero. I hope this can be of help.
