Re: Bardcode reader query

23-Aug-06 4:51

Hello

Barcode readers usually act like keyboards. Once you press the button while pointing to a barcode, the value of the barcode will be written in the active control, wether it's the notepad, textbox, combobox, etc...

So, you won't need any special programming for barcoding, unless you want to print barcode, not read it. For only reading barcode, just make a textbox to receive the value as it would be written by a keyboard.

OK so that means I can get the price of an item thru a barcode reader just as if I'm entering the value from a key board. Gr8!thats fantastic.

Many thanks Nader! that's makes me feel a lot comfortable

Hi all,

i need to connect to a remote server using c#.net.
The connection should be also able to access a sub database in a database.(HP9000)

Rather it should work like the Qcterm.

Using sockets i can only pass the port and IP address .
How will i pass the database name to be connected to and fetch data????????????

It would be a great help if someone has an answer.....

Thanks.

Hello

This sounds much like Client/Server application. At the connecting machine there is a client app to connect to the server app in the "connected to" machine. Now the client app makes requests, and the server app fetches the data from the database -on the same machine-, and send it as a response to the client. It's possible using sockets.

What would be the problem with that?

DataGridView WordWrap

Iam developing a windows application. I have a dataGridView which has
rows. Inside a row in dataGridView i kept two lines. For doing this
i first did

dataGridView1.DefaultCellStyle.WrapMode = DataGridViewTriState.True;

and kept a new line character in the string

so if i have Mike and Bond to go in separate lines inside one row in dataGridView i would say "Mike"+"\n"+"Bond"

it worked and kept in separate lines but when i double click on the DataGridView row for some weird reason its again keeping back in single line
with some funny character between Mike and Bond

But when i leave the row it again puts back in two separate lines.

Did any body encountered this if yes how to solve this. I want them in Separate line always.

Thanks
Kal

DataGridView Custom Column Control Events

23-Aug-06 4:42

Hello

To solve this issue either use "Mark\r\nBond", or "Mark" + Environment.NewLine + "Bond"

I have created a custom datagridviewColumn control containig a TextBox+Button. I want to access the events of these controls directly, for example TextBox_textChanged, Button_MouseHover. following code has been written for this, but it is not working Confused | :confused:

        DXDataGridViewTextBoxButtonColumn btn = new DXDataGridViewTextBoxButtonColumn();<br />
            ((DXTextBoxButtonCell)btn.CellTemplate).SSTextBoxButton.Button.Click += new EventHandler(SSTextBoxButton_Enter);<br />
            ((DXTextBoxButtonCell)btn.CellTemplate).SSTextBoxButton.Enter += new EventHandler(SSTextBoxButton_Enter);<br />
<br />

I have simply shown a messagebox in its event handler.

Can anyone help?

sorry for my bad English.

Hello

MyCustomControl control = new MyCustomControl(); //Includes a public member of type Button called MyButton
control.MyButton.Click += new EventHandler(MyHandler);

What's wrong with simplicity??!!

Hello

Let me get this right!! Your problem is that you made a custom control - TextBox & a Button-, and you want to display it in the header cell?? Or is it in all cells of the column??

Hello

Now I got your problem... Actually custom DatagridView columns are inherited -after some fathers- from DataGridViewElemnt. In that class you will find protected methods called RaiseCellClick(), RaiseCellContentClick(), among other methods to raise the events DatagridView.CellClick event, and DataGridView.CellContentClick. So the control that will handle the events is the DataGridView actually by the above events. If your custom control doesn't fire these events automatically -I don't know how you implemented them!-, so when you see suitable fire them yourself using the Raise methods.

Thanx Nader for your help

public override void InitializeEditingControl(int rowIndex, object<br />
           initialFormattedValue, DataGridViewCellStyle dataGridViewCellStyle)<br />
       {<br />
          ase.InitializeEditingControl(rowIndex, initialFormattedValue,<br />
               dataGridViewCellStyle);<br />
                         DXTextBoxButtonColumnEditingControl ctl =<br />
   DataGridView.EditingControl as DXTextBoxButtonColumnEditingControl;<br />
         if(ctl !=null)<br />
           if (this.Value != null)<br />
               ctl.SSTextBox.Text = (string)this.Value;<br />
           else<br />
               ctl.SSTextBox.Text = string.Empty;<br />
          }

i want this ctl to be accessed in the form where datagridcolumn will be used.

Thanx

sorry for my bad English.

"hiding" items in a combox

5-Sep-06 9:18

Hello

I'm sorry my reply came very late, but your email notification arrived to my just now!!

You can't acess ctl this way because you've declared it as a local variable in a method. Declare it as a public member in your class, and access it like MyCustomColumn.ctl.Click for the click event as an example.

I don't know if my reply would help you or it came too late, but forgive me.

u can create dataview from dataset and can filter data from dataset
and then can bind it to combobox

i have found one in VB:

Private Sub Button3_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button3.Click
da1.Fill(ds, "Autores1")

Dim dv As New DataView(ds.Tables("Autores"))

dv.RowFilter = "Au_ID <= 15"

DataGrid1.DataSource = dv

End Sub

Maybe Delete() and CancelChanges() on the underlying row ?
