format DataGridViewTextBoxColumn as number as the user is typing the value

HI all,

I am using a datagridview control on a form and one of the columns is defined as datagridviewtextboxcolumn type. This column is used to display and amount and the cell is editable allowing the user to modify the amount. I already formatted this column as "N0" so when the user moves the focus to amother element this cell displays the amount as a number (eg: 1,000,000 for 1 million). Anyway, I want to be able to format this value as number as the user types the amount... so instead of getting 10, and then 100 and then 1000... 100000 as he types, I would like to show 10.. 100 .... 1,000 .... 100,000 so the user won't have to count how many zeros he typed. I already implemented such a feature in a standalone textbox control using the TextChanged event, but I am unable to implement this in the gridview.
Is it possible to achieve this in a gridview cell? What event(s) should I implement to get this functionality working? I am opened to any suggestions or comments!

Thank you in advance!

Andrei

Hi you told the solution already
you have to create a user control of datagridview column type with the number textbox you created and make column type of No as the newly created datagridview column.A sample code for customized datagridview column type is available with in the msdn

If you can't just mail me

Just create a new bitmap, get the pixel from original bitmap and set the pixel to new bitmap using GetPixel and SetPixel.

But how can i know where are the empty pixels and where there are used pixel ?

For Example:

I will get in one of the iteration a Bitmap with 1000X1000 pixels but the DLL that i used only used 15X28 in location (523,724)
in the bitmap, How can i get a new Bitmap with the size of 15X28 that contain only the crop of location 523,724 ? (Every iteration will be with different size and with different location).

(In the next iteration i can get Bitmap with 500*500 , used size 123*243 and the location will be in 23*342 for eample)

Every time i will want a new Bitmap with only a crop of the used part of the old Bitmap.

How can i do it?

Hi,

the one way with decent performance goes like this:
- create a new bitmap with appropriate size;
- call CreateGraphics on it;
- perform Graphics.DrawImage using an overload that lets you choose part of a source image
- if necessary, save the bitmap in the format you like
- Dispose of the objects you no longer need.

There is no source image, every time i will get Bitmap with another size and i want to cut the unused part, lets say that i will get Bitmap with the size 500X500 but there is only one small rectangle size 10X15 that locate in Point 124,254 in the orignal Bitmap and i want to get new Bitmap with the size 10X15 that contain the pixels from location Rectangle ( Location(124,254), Size(10X15)) but the only thing that i have is the bitmap.
If i had the Rectangle of the used parts of the bitmap ,for example, i could just Clone the bitmap with this Rectangle, but how can i get this Rectangle?

the image you have IS the source image, the bitmap you draw into is the destination image.

If I understand correctly, your problem is locating the image you want to crop inside the bitmap.
You said that it will always be a rectangle, and you talk about "empty" and "full" or "used" and "unused" pixels.
This simplifies your problem a lot! You should be aware that image recognition is a rather complex field, and without these two assumptions you would have to go for complex solutions.

Now, if you know the characteristics of the "empty" or "unused" pixels, you can recognize them. Fox example, they might be all of the same color (white ? black ?). So, starting from the corners of the image you can detect the first "used" pixels and define your cropping rectangle.

How you do it is strongly dependant on the inner image characteristics. For example, if ALL of the inner image's pixels are different from the "unused" ones (different color, in my example), then you can walk along the diagonals of your bitmap to find the cropping area and then define it by walking along its edges if necessary, and so on.

Hope this gives you some ideas. Smile | :)

what i advice you to do is to design your database scheme first of all

turn off the computer, write everthing down before you hit the keyboard

after you have your database scheme, take your time to build the database, i advice you to manage login in sql (create user table with id/user/pass and trigger a login store_procedure).
go to c# only after database is donne

- - -

About the connection to the database in the previous post you see a way to do that
You can find lots of stuff on google if you use key word like "c# database connection" but i advise you to download microsoft absolute beginners lessons videos, it´s free and you will understand it better
in alternative download a project here in codeproject

If you have this HTML as a string, you can use Regular Expressions to search for the tag. You can find the RegEx here[^].
