VBA MSHFLEXGRID wrong .ROW information in the CLICK event - vba

I'm using the VBA MSHFLEXGRID, 2 grids in fact in the same Form, one below the other so when I choose a row in the first grid, the second one shows info regarding the first grid row selection.
Well, the problem is that the second grid, after choosing a row in the first grid which brings to no information in the second one (I put the data through the own grid recordset, and if i dont want it to show information, i do an exit in the load procedure, it gets crazy and the .ROW property in the Click event starts returning a fixed number, like for example 4, instead of the actual row being clicked. Always a number that represents a higher row than the last one (one that is even out of the grid). I tried also the .MOUSEROW and this one returns 0 all the time (when the grid becomes crazy).
This never happens with the first grid, only with the second one. There's nothing I can do without real information about the row being clicked. I've seen that with different resolutions the problem gets reset. Seems not to happen with low resolutions like 1360x768, but it does with 1920x1080 and 2560x1440.

SOLVED! I was trying cases and more cases to try to understand why it happens sometimes in random cases and finally found it. The problem appears when you set the recordset directly to the grid (Set Grid.Recordset = xxxx) and this xxx is empty. It is, EOF. So I was doing a .Clearstructure, and then the SET. After this, if i did another SET (another selection of the second grid) with a non empty recordset, then it would go crazy.
So what I did was simple assigning first a recordset object to check if the SQL query is empty or not, and if it's not empty and only then, assign the recordset to the grid. Oh my god, this was bringing me crazy after a long time.

Datagridview.Rows(#).Selected not updating CurrentRow.Index

VB.Net 4.6.1
Windows Forms application
I have a bound datagridview that I'm trying to sort and select. The data loads fine and I can click the headers (with some code) and the sorting works well. I'm working on reselecting a record after the sort is complete and I'm running into some trouble.
Assume that I have a datagridview with 20 records in it. On the form I also have a button that runs the following:
MessageBox.Show(MyDataGridView.CurrentRow.Index.ToString)
I also have a Sub that handles MyDataGridView.Sorted and in it I have one test line as follows:
MyDataGridView.Rows(2).Selected = True
After the data loads I click on the 11th record (selectionmode fullrowselect) and then I click the button. Box pops up and says "10" (0 based index). I click one of my column headers, the data sorts and the highlight bar jumps up to the 3rd record (index 2). However when I hit my currentrow.index button it still says 10. Additionally if I hit the down arrow key the selection bar jumps down to the 11th (index 10) record in the list.
It seems that using "Selected" doesn't update the currentrow.index value and since it is read-only I can't force it. Can anyone educate me on what's going on because, as it is, my users would be confused if the arrow up and down keys didn't work properly after a sort.
Thank you!
"Current" and "selected" do not mean the same thing. How could they, when multiple rows can be selected but there can only be one current row? The current row is the row that currently contains the caret and a selected row is one that is highlighted. If you want the row at index 2 to be the current row then you need to make a cell in that row the current cell, i.e. assign a cell in that row to the CurrentCell property.

Cannot disable UltraGrid cells

I have an UltraGrid in my project. Data can be entered into each cell, which is then saved to the database. I want to be able to disable all of the cells in the current row EXCEPT for one called Product_Code. Once data has been entered into the active row column (this is entered via a ValueList), I then want all of the other cells to become available for entering data into.
So far I have tried
If Me.ugProducts.ActiveRow.Cells("Product_Code").Value.ToString = "" Then
Me.ugProducts.ActiveRow.Cells("Product_Volume").Activation = Activation.Disabled
Else
Me.ugProducts.ActiveRow.Cells("Product_Volume").Activation = Activation.AllowEdit
End If
But to no success. When the project is built, all of the cells are immediately available to type into, despite no value having been entered.
Why is it not working? What is the best way to do this?
I saw a previous comment on here that has since been deleted, for some reason... However, one solve you can try is:
In the form load; add in ugProducts.DisplayLayout.Override.CellClickAction = CellClickAction.CellSelect - This will mean all of the cells are disabled, but you'll still be able to select the ValueList for Product_Code
Now, in the CellListSelect event of ugProducts, use the following code ugProducts.DisplayLayout.Override.CellClickAction = CellClickAction.Edit (After any validation checks or anything that you have in the method already, it will go in here somewhere, just keep trying things if you aren't too sure where)
Anyway, this should now let you fill them in as you wish.

BIRT result set values in specific cells

My query returns location_cd(string) and item_count(int). I only need certain rows from the result however and I need them to display in specific places in my layout so I don't think the table solution is going to work. Can I determine where I place the value for a particular row of the result set?
I am using a grid to display values for a number of fields. I cannot seem to be able to get the values from the results to show. The grid is bound to the result set. I even tried binding the cells to the result set but that didn't work either.
I checked in the query editor and there is a result set shown in the Preview so I know the query works. The complete and correct result set shows if I put a table on the page.
I tried inserting a Dynamic Text or Data object in a cell and used the expression:
dataSetRow["location_cd"]=="3SD"?dataSetRow["item_count"]:""
This returns a blank and does not seem to evaluate. I tested it with :
dataSetRow["location_cd"]=="3SD"?dataSetRow["item_count"]:"BLANK"
and got 'BLANK' to appear in that cell.
dataSetRow["location_cd"] and dataSetRow["item_count"] will display the location_cd and item_count from the first row of the result set. row.outer[] did the same thing. Obviously I am just hacking at this report at this point.
A co-worker suggested that she uses a JAVA if-statement in places like this but I could not get that to work either.
Any ideas or suggestions that will get me on the right road??
Thanks
An elegant option would be to use a HashMap storing the result of the dataset.
Declare a report variable named "values", with a new hashmap as default value (see image below)
Fill values in the onFetch script of the dataset: vars["values"].put(row["location_cd"],row["item_count"]);
Insert new data elements at any place of the report with expressions such: vars["values"].get("myFavoriteLocationCD");
Though it is important to note the dataset should be triggered by the report before these data elements.
The particular row you want to display you specify in a "Text" field inside your grid. Just drag and drop a "Text" field inside your grid. If you bound the fields you want to display to your grid, the "Text" field inside the grid inherits the bindings of its parent (the grid), so you can access the bindings automatically in the "Text" field.
You could try following steps, maybe that works.
Don't use "Dynamic Text" field, instead use a regular "Text" field
Ensure the fields of your query which you use, are bound to the grid (you sayed you already did)
Open the "Text" field
Change preselected pull-down entry "Auto" into "HTML"
Change preselected pull-down entry "Formatting" into "Dynamic Text"
Wrap your code in <value-of format="HTML"> your code goes here... </value-of>
Note: You should check in the "Expression Builder" of your "Text" field if you are able to access the fields you bound to the grid. If they are not available sth. went wrong with your binding. Avoid binding query records to cells this will drive you crazy.
If you want to display a list, ensure you didn't set a constant height in the row of your grid. Set the height to 100% than the row takes its height dynamically.
What about the idea to optimize your query, that only get the results you want are displayed, than you don’t need to filter them with java script? If you don’t need the filtered results in another place this would be the cleaner solution in my opinion.

Grids get empty when I click on some other tab

I have a question, I have a combo box, which when changed fills the data grid. Now Wen I change the Tab and come back to same tab again(one containing the combo box)..the value of combo box remains there, however the grid gets empty. I need this data to be maintained till the user selects another value from drop down.How can this be done???
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Some of the possible reasons :
There is a MyDataGrid.clear somewhere
The DataSource used to fill the grid is somewhere cleared.
If you use a DataSet, your DataTable is somewhere truncated.
If you use a BindingSource as your DataSource, maybe somewhere else you're using the same BindingSource, which empties the grid.
I would recommend you to put a braekpoint on your Combobox change value event to see if it's not called with a wrong value somewhere else.
And I would add a spy to check your DataGrid (the number of lines for example) to precisely know where it happens by executing my code step by step.
Hope this helps !

Multi Band Infragistics UltraGrid Row Select problem

I am bringing in data from SQL that is to be displayed in a multi band ultragrid. This works great. It does what it is supposed to in this regard; however, if I try to select a row other than the first one, in any band of the bands, it freezes the program.
When the grid is loaded, the first row seems to be active (text is bold), so I tried doing an update on the active row. This got rid of the active row, but didn't fix the problem.
Thank you in advance for any help!
Are you using BindingList<> as your data source? Try converting to List<>.If you have to use BindingList<> then set the SyncWithCurrencyManager property on ultragrid to false. This tells the grid not to synchronize the current row with the current position of the CurrencyManager
