I have a winform with a bound datagridview, 4 text boxes and a button. With the click of the button the "fillby" statement is called, the data is loaded on the datagridview and the content of the text boxes become the default value of some fields in the new rows of the datagridview.
I need to check all the text boxes to make sure they're not empty, if any of them is empty then a message should pop up saying which text box is empty and also keeps the datagridview from filling.
This is the code I have so far:
Private Sub btnCargarInformacion_Click(sender As System.Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnCargar.Click
Dim emptyTextBoxes =
From txt In Me.Controls.OfType(Of TextBox)()
Where txt.Text.Length = 0
Select txt.Name
If emptyTextBoxes.Count >= -1 Then
MessageBox.Show(String.Format("Please fill following textboxes: {0}", String.Join(",", emptyTextBoxes)))
Else
Dim PartePersonalTableApt As New PersonalObraDataSetTableAdapters.PartePersonalTableAdapter
Dim PersonalObTableApt As New PersonalObraDataSetTableAdapters.PersonalObTableAdapter
PartePersonalTableApt.ClearBeforeFill = True
PartePersonalTableApt.FillByFecha(PersonalObraDataSet.PartePersonal, txtDate.Text, txtDepartamento.Text, txtTurno.Text)
PersonalObTableApt.ClearBeforeFill = True
PersonalObTableApt.Fillby(PersonalObraDataSet.PersonalOb)
End If
End Sub
I don't get any errors, the message appears even if all textboxes are filled, the message box does not specifying any text boxes as empty and stops the datagridview from filling.
I'm very new to codding so please explain in more detail your solution. Thanks
.Count >= -1
The count will be 0 if it's empty
If emptyTextBoxes.Count <> 0 Then
MessageBox.Show(String.Format("Please fill following textboxes: {0}", String.Join(",", emptyTextBoxes)))
Else
Dim PartePersonalTableApt As New PersonalObraDataSetTableAdapters.PartePersonalTableAdapter
Dim PersonalObTableApt As New PersonalObraDataSetTableAdapters.PersonalObTableAdapter
PartePersonalTableApt.ClearBeforeFill = True
PartePersonalTableApt.FillByFecha(PersonalObraDataSet.PartePersonal, txtDate.Text, txtDepartamento.Text, txtTurno.Text)
PersonalObTableApt.ClearBeforeFill = True
PersonalObTableApt.Fillby(PersonalObraDataSet.PersonalOb)
End If
You can try to loop at your container (ie form, panel, groupbox) for each textbox without content, then increment whenever there is a textbox that doesn't have content.
Example:
Dim checkr as integer = 0
Dim this As Control
For Each this In that.Controls
If TypeOf this Is TextBox Then
If this.text = "" then
Checkr += 1
End if
End If
Next
If checkr > 0 then
msgbox("Cannot proceed because a textbox has no content")
Else
'......(what you were gonna do)
End If

So I am making a function that will populate the TableLayoutPanel from FileDialog Result then make a delete button for each row using a loop. Here's the code

So I am trying to remove the row in the TableLayoutPanel together with the dynamic control. My approach is removing the selected item in the list and I achieved it properly but can't remove the row in the TableLayoutPanel. Any help is much appreciated!
EDIT
I have tried to use the provided module above but got this error
And got this error
Here is an extension method that will enable you to remove any row from a TableLayoutPanel by index:
Imports System.Runtime.CompilerServices
Public Module TableLayoutPanelExtensions
<Extension>
Public Sub RemoveRowAt(source As TableLayoutPanel, index As Integer)
If index >= source.RowCount Then
Throw New ArgumentOutOfRangeException(NameOf(index),
index,
"The row index must be less than the number of rows in the TableLayoutPanel control.")
End If
'Remove the controls in the specified row.
For columnIndex = 0 To source.ColumnCount - 1
Dim child = source.GetControlFromPosition(columnIndex, index)
If child IsNot Nothing Then
child.Dispose()
End If
Next
'Move controls below the specified row up.
For rowIndex = index + 1 To source.RowCount - 1
For columnIndex = 0 To source.ColumnCount - 1
Dim child = source.GetControlFromPosition(columnIndex, rowIndex)
If child IsNot Nothing Then
source.SetCellPosition(child, New TableLayoutPanelCellPosition(columnIndex, rowIndex - 1))
End If
Next
Next
'Remove the last row.
source.RowCount -= 1
End Sub
End Module
I tested that on 3 column by 4 row TableLayoutPanel containing a Label in each cell executing the following code twice:
Private Sub Button1_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
TableLayoutPanel1.RemoveRowAt(1)
End Sub
The result was as expected, i.e. removing the second-from-top row each time. You may need to fiddle a bit more depending on what you want to happen row heights. I had the row heights set to equal percentages so the remaining rows grew proportionally to fill the space. If you want something different, you can add code accordingly. Note that you could create an almost identical method for removing columns.
I've got part of my code that creates a tab in a tabcontrol, and then fills it with a datagridview which contains a couple columns that are DataGridViewComboBoxColumn.
It looks like this:
Private Sub NewTabPage()
Dim TabPageCount As Integer = RacerOrderTAB.TabPages.Count
RacerOrderTAB.TabPages.Add(TeamNames(TabPageCount)) 'teamnames() is an array of team names
Dim CurrentTabPage = RacerOrderTAB.TabPages(TabPageCount)
Dim GridToAdd As New DataGridView
GridToAdd.Size = CurrentTabPage.Size
GridToAdd.AutoSizeColumnsMode = DataGridViewAutoSizeColumnsMode.Fill
GridToAdd.Location = New Point(CurrentTabPage.Location.X, CurrentTabPage.Location.Y)
GridToAdd.Columns.Add("ShiftCOL", "Shift Name")
GridToAdd.Name = "grid_" & CurrentTabPage.Text
For y As Integer = 1 To ShiftSetup.racerspershift 'add extra column for each racer in shift
Dim cmb As New DataGridViewComboBoxColumn
cmb.HeaderText = "Racer" & y
cmb.Name = "Racer_" & y
cmb.MaxDropDownItems = AmountOfRacers
cmb.DisplayStyle = DataGridViewComboBoxDisplayStyle.DropDownButton
GridToAdd.Columns.Add(cmb)
Next
RacerOrderTAB.TabPages(TabPageCount).Controls.Add(GridToAdd)
End Sub
But I've been having difficulty in adding an eventhandler for the comboboxes. What I want to happen is that when a combobox is clicked and opened, I populate it with the items I want.
I managed to vaguely get it working by adding:
AddHandler GridToAdd.EditingControlShowing, AddressOf <sub name>
but then have been unable to figure out which combobox was clicked, and how to populate it. It's also been requiring like four clicks before the drop list will appear. I'm only slightly very confused.
Thanks for any advice; these DataGridViewComboBoxColumns [deep breath] have been confusing me a lot!
It may be a little hacky but it should do what you are asking… hopefully. I created two List(Of String) variables. AllRacers contains all the racers… i.e. all the names we want to appear in a combo box such that there is no other combo box on that row that has an item selected. These names are what all combo boxes on all rows would initially contain in the selectable items list.
The other List(Of String) UsedRacers contains a list of all the “comboboxes” on the current row that have selected items. Each time a cell value is changed and it is one of the “combobox” column cells, then UsedRacers is cleared/updated to reflect the added/changed selected item on the current row.
When a “comboBox” cell value is changed, SetUsedRacersForRow is called…
Private Sub SetUsedRacersForRow(rowIndex As Int16)
UsedRacers.Clear()
Dim curValue = ""
For i = 1 To racersPerShift
If (Not (dgvRacers.Rows(rowIndex).Cells(i).Value Is Nothing)) Then
curValue = dgvRacers.Rows(rowIndex).Cells(i).Value.ToString()
If (Not (String.IsNullOrEmpty(curValue))) Then
UsedRacers.Add(curValue)
End If
End If
Next
End Sub
The code above loops through all the “combobox” cells in the given row and if a “combobox” cell has something selected, the selected value is added to the UsedRacers list.
Now that the selected items for all the “comboboxes” in that row are in the UsedRacers list, we can now loop through each “combobox” cell in that row and set the proper list of names. To help, a method is created that returns a DataGridViewComboBoxCell such that the names in the current UsedRacers list will NOT be in the DataGridViewComboBoxCell’s list of selectable names.
The only issue here would be with cells that currently have an item selected. Each “combobox” cell with an item selected will uniquely need to have its selected item in its list of items. To remedy this, a check is needed to see if the “combobox” cell contains a value. If the “combobox” cell DOES contain a selected value, then this value is also contained in the UsedRacers list. Since THIS cell is the cell that is in the UseRacers list… then we need to ADD this value to this cells items list. Otherwise, we would not be able to display the unique selection.
To keep the UsedRacers list consistent, we need to add this item directly to the individual “combobox” cell and not remove or alter the UsedRacers list as this will be used for the other “combobox” cells. In other words… whatever value is selected in a combo box, we need to make sure it is one of the items in the “combobox’s” list of selectable items. I hope that makes sense.
This can all be done in the DataGridViews CellChanged event.
Private Sub dgvRacers_CellValueChanged(sender As Object, e As DataGridViewCellEventArgs) Handles dgvRacers.CellValueChanged
If (e.ColumnIndex >= 1 And e.ColumnIndex <= racersPerShift) Then
SetUsedRacersForRow(e.RowIndex)
For i = 1 To racersPerShift
Dim newCell As DataGridViewComboBoxCell = GetCurrentComboBoxCell()
If (Not (dgvRacers.Rows(e.RowIndex).Cells(i).Value Is Nothing)) Then
Dim curValue = dgvRacers.Rows(e.RowIndex).Cells(i).Value.ToString()
newCell.Items.Add(curValue)
newCell.Value = curValue
End If
dgvRacers.Rows(e.RowIndex).Cells(i) = newCell
Next
End If
End Sub
In the code above, a method GetCurrentComboBoxCell (below) returns a DataGridViewComboBoxCell such that the items in the combo boxes list of items does not contain any items that are in the UsedRacers list. Because of this, a check is needed (above) to see if the cell already contains a value. NOTE: the DataGridViewComboBoxCell returned will always contain a “blank” empty item. This is necessary to allow the user to “De-Select” any currently selected value and then make the “De-Selected” item available to the other combo box cells.
Public Function GetCurrentComboBoxCell() As DataGridViewComboBoxCell
Dim newComboCell = New DataGridViewComboBoxCell()
newComboCell.DisplayStyle = DataGridViewComboBoxDisplayStyle.DropDownButton
newComboCell.FlatStyle = FlatStyle.Flat
newComboCell.Items.Add("")
For Each curRacer In AllRacers
If (Not UsedRacers.Contains(curRacer)) Then
newComboCell.Items.Add(curRacer)
End If
Next
Return newComboCell
End Function
Finally, putting all this together…
Dim racersInShift = 3
Dim AllRacers As List(Of String) = New List(Of String) From {"John", "Bobby", "Trent", "Josh", "Chapman", "Henry", "George", "Marvin"}
'Dim racersPerShift As Int16 = AllRacers.Count '<-- should be MAX value
Dim racersPerShift As Int16 = 4
Dim UsedRacers = New List(Of String)
Private Sub Form2_Load(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
BuildGrid()
End Sub
Private Sub BuildGrid()
dgvRacers.Size = New Size(800, 200)
dgvRacers.AutoSizeColumnsMode = DataGridViewAutoSizeColumnsMode.Fill
'dgvRacers.Location = New Point(50, 200)
dgvRacers.Columns.Add("ShiftCOL", "Shift Name")
dgvRacers.Name = "RacersDGV"
dgvRacers.EditMode = DataGridViewEditMode.EditOnEnter
dgvRacers.AllowUserToAddRows = False
AddRacerColumns()
AddRacerRows()
End Sub
Private Sub AddRacerColumns()
Dim newColumn As DataGridViewComboBoxColumn
For i As Integer = 1 To racersPerShift
newColumn = GetNewComboBoxColumn("Racer" & i, "Racer " & i)
dgvRacers.Columns.Add(newColumn)
Next
End Sub
Private Sub AddRacerRows()
For i As Integer = 1 To racersInShift
Dim row As New DataGridViewRow
dgvRacers.Rows.Add(row)
Next
End Sub
Private Sub dgvRacers_CellValueChanged(sender As Object, e As DataGridViewCellEventArgs)
‘See code above
End Sub
Private Sub SetUsedRacersForRow(rowIndex As Int16)
‘See code above
End Sub
Public Function GetCurrentComboBoxCell() As DataGridViewComboBoxCell
‘See code above
End Function
‘Lastly a method to set a whole `DataGridviewComboBoxColumn` which is used to initialize all the combo box columns
Public Function GetNewComboBoxColumn(colName As String, colHeader As String) As DataGridViewComboBoxColumn
Dim newComboCol = New DataGridViewComboBoxColumn()
newComboCol.DisplayStyle = DataGridViewComboBoxDisplayStyle.DropDownButton
newComboCol.FlatStyle = FlatStyle.Flat
newComboCol.Items.Add("")
newComboCol.HeaderText = colHeader
newComboCol.Name = colName
For Each curRacer In AllRacers
newComboCol.Items.Add(curRacer)
Next
Return newComboCol
End Function
I hope this helps, I am guessing there is an easier way to do this.
I have the following code:
Private Sub EditarToolStripMenuItem_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles EditarToolStripMenuItem.Click
Dim ctlEditable = {txtCodigo, txtDeudor, txtOportunidad, drpBanca, txtEjecutivo, drpGarantia, txtCIIU, dteFecha, txtAnalista, drpEstatus, drpConcepto, dteUltAct, txtIngresos, drpCumplimiento, txtROA2, txtIE2, txtAnt, txtAct, txtCovenants, drpFaltas, txtOportunidades, txtCostos, txtPMAA}.ToList()
Dim ctlText = {txtCodigo, txtDeudor, txtOportunidad, drpBanca, txtEjecutivo, drpGarantia, txtCIIU, dteFecha, txtAnalista, drpEstatus, drpConcepto, dteUltAct, txtIngresos, drpCumplimiento, txtROA2, txtIE2, txtAnt, txtAct, txtCovenants, drpFaltas, txtOportunidades, txtCostos, txtPMAA}.ToList()
Dim ctlPerma = {txtRAS, txtActividad, txtTipo, txtMultaPot, txtPotencial}.ToList()
Dim control As Control
For Each control In Me.Controls
If TypeOf (control) Is TextBox Then
Dim txtBox As TextBox = control
If txtBox.Text.Length = 0 Then
ctlEditable.ForEach(Sub(c) c.Enabled = False)
Else
ctlEditable.ForEach(Sub(c) c.Enabled = True)
Return
End If
End If
Next
End Sub
I'm trying to check if the text boxes are empty before enabling them for edit; so basically if they're empty you can't edit, but if there's text you can. I tried the answer in: Check for empty TextBox controls in VB.NET but didn't work.
Any ideas?
What you should do is work out whether or not to enable them and only then execute the foreach loop to enable / disable.
Dim enable = Me.Controls.OfType(Of TextBox).Any(Function(t) t.Text.Length > 0)
ctlEditable.ForEach(Sub(c) c.Enabled = enable)
However I suspect you'll want to use ctlEditable instead of Me.Controls as Me.Controls only contains the top level controls of a form.
There are seven combo box on form
I want to add the item in each combo box. But i don't want to manual mode for add the item.
I want to use the ForLoop to add the item.
I try like this, but second line is get exception occurred.
Dim cmb_Temp as ComboBox = New ComboBox
cmb_Temp.Name = "cmb_a" + "7" <- exception
so, I don't know about how to handling the ForLoop to add the item.
is it impossible in vb.net?.
is it use the FindeComponet method?
Assuming WinForms, you can use Controls.Find() like this:
Dim matches() As Control
For i As Integer = 1 To 7
matches = Me.Controls.Find("cmb_a" & i, True)
If matches.Length > 0 AndAlso TypeOf matches(0) Is ComboBox Then
Dim cb As ComboBox = DirectCast(matches(0), ComboBox)
cb.Items.Add("SomeItem")
End If
Next
I have a setup in my code where there is a datagridview. For each row I have a combo box cell that I have a separate combo box cell since I want a different selection of items for each cell.
Problem : The cell only drops down when the arrow is double clicked. How can I change the cell formatting, or possibly a cell click event, so that the cell response to just one click?
Here's my cell creation code. Frankly, I didn't start any other code since I didn't know what event to touch or call. Is there a property I can edit?
Code:
'add items to combobox list
Dim comboCell As New DataGridViewComboBoxCell
comboCell.FlatStyle = FlatStyle.Flat
Dim resolutionList As New List(Of cmbStruct)
Dim currentResIndex As Integer = 0
'create list of resolutions
For j As Integer = 0 To resolutions.Length - 1
Dim resClass As New cmbStruct
resClass.Name = resolutions(j)
resClass.ID = resolutions(j)
resolutionList.Add(resClass)
comboCell.Items.Add(resolutions(j))
Next
'set combocell values
comboCell.DisplayMember = "Name"
comboCell.ValueMember = "ID"
'set the default value to the current resolution index
Try
comboCell.Value = resolutions(currentResIndex)
Catch ex As Exception
End Try
comboCell.ValueType = GetType(cmbStruct)
comboCell.DataSource = resolutionList
editCameraTable("Resolution", i) = comboCell
Next
Change the EditMode property:
DataGridView1.EditMode = DataGridViewEditMode.EditOnEnter
There seems to be a nearly identical question and a very good answer. It involves using the click_event. Here is the link:
How to manually drop down a DataGridViewComboBoxColumn?
In the link:
Private Sub cell_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As DataGridViewCellEventArgs) Handles DataGridView1.CellClick
DataGridView1.BeginEdit(True)
If DataGridView1.Rows(e.RowIndex).Cells(ddl.Name).Selected = True Then
DirectCast(DataGridView1.EditingControl, DataGridViewComboBoxEditingControl).DroppedDown = True
End If
End Sub
