Hello,
Please pardon my ignorance as I'm sure this is easy to do. I have a datagrid
where I want to let the user delete columns. I added a context menu to the
datagrid that has a delete option. If the user right clicks on a column
heading can I highlight that column and then delete it? I'm not exactly sure
how to highlight it or figure out what column has been clicked.
In my testing so far when I use the context menu I always get the error
"Column 'ColumnName' does belong to table" - I'm trying to remove the first
column:
((DataTable)dgd Data.DataSource ).Columns.Remov eAt(0);
When I added a button and use the same line of code I do not get the error
and the column is removed. Any ideas why?
Thanks for any help, I really appreciate it.
Thanks,
Nick 10 2333
I don't think you should delete columns.
instead, use a view that shows colums of a data table. then, you can simply
change the colums that are shown.
that way te columns stay where they are, but they are just not shown.
kind regards,
Bruno.

Bruno,
Thanks for your help. I'm actually not loading database records into the
datagrid. They are values I'm pulling in from a text file. I want to allow
them to do whatever they want to the data and then I will save it back to the
file.
Thanks,

regardless, you can load the data from the text file into a data table and
then do what i suggested.
you can fill data tables from all sorts of data sources.

Bruno.

Hi Nick,
Thanks for your post.
To highlight the certain column in DataGrid, there is no build-in support,
we have to inherit from the DataGrid control then draw the column
selection. The link below shows the 2 ways of doing this:
"5.59 How can I enable column selections in my datagrid?" http://64.78.52.104/FAQ/WinForms/FAQ_c44c.asp#q893q
To determine which column the right mouse clicked, we can handle the
MouseDown/MouseUp event, in this event, we can get the mouse position, then
we can use DataGrid.HitTes t method to convert the mouse position
information into DataGrid.HitTes tInfo instance. Then we can determine the
column index, sample code snippet like this:
private void Form1_Load(obje ct sender, System.EventArg s e)
{
DataTable dt=new DataTable();
dt.Columns.Add( new DataColumn("col umn1", typeof(int)));
dt.Columns.Add( new DataColumn("col umn2", typeof(string)) );
for(int i=0;i<5;i++)
{
DataRow dr=dt.NewRow();
dr["column1"]=i;
dr["column2"]="item"+i.ToStr ing();
dt.Rows.Add(dr) ;
}
this.dataGrid1. DataSource=dt;
}
private void dataGrid1_Mouse Down(object sender,
System.Windows. Forms.MouseEven tArgs e)
{
DataGrid.HitTes tInfo hti=this.dataGr id1.HitTest(e.X , e.Y);
MessageBox.Show ("column: "+hti.Column.To String() +" Row:
"+hti.Row.ToStr ing());
}
For the last issue of deleting the column, I am not sure what is the logic
you what. Do you want to delete the DataColumn data in the DataTable, or
you only want to hide the column in the DataGrid UI without the DataColumn
data in the DataTable to be deleted?
Based on your code snippet, it seems that you want the first option.
Currently, your code snippet looks good without much problem. Can you show
me a little sample project to reproduce our your problem? You may attach
the sample project in a further reply.
Thanks

Could I ask one more question? Is there a way to insert a column somewhere
other than the end? I put something together inserts a column, but I lose all
my data.

Hi Nick,
I am glad your original problem is resolved.
For your further question, I am not sure I understand it very well. For
"insert a column", do you mean insert into the DataTable or DataGrid UI? Do
you use the autogenerated columns by databinding in DataGrid or you
explicitly add the DataGridColumnS tyles to DataGrid?
Normally, we'd better not use the autogenerated columns by databinding in
DataGrid, we can explicitly add DataGridColumnS tyles to DataGrid, which
DataGridColumnS tyle.MappingNam e can be set to corresponding
DataColumn.Colu mnName. If we do this, after inserting a new column into the
DataTable(with data), we can also programmaticall y insert a
DataGridColumnS tyle to the position you want in
DataGrid.TableS tyles[0].GridColumnStyl es property, with setting this
GridColumnStyle .MappingName to the new inserted columnname, it will display
in this new GridColumnStyle without any problem. So we can display the new
inserted column in DataGrid any order we want.
Hope this helps

Jeffrey Tan

Hi Jeffrey,
Thanks again for your help. I have never really used DataGridColumnS tyles.
For testing purposes I have this:
DataTable myDataTable = new DataTable();
DataColumn myDataColumn;
for(int z=0;z<5; z++)
{
myDataTable.Col umns.Add(new DataColumn("")) ;
}
dataGrid1.DataS ource=myDataTab le;
Could I use DataGridColumnS tyles with this sample?
Thanks,
Nick

Hi Nick,
Thanks for your feedback.
Yes, for product level DataGrid usage, we should always use explicit
DataGridColumnS tyles for the DataSource, then we can control the column in
details. Normally, we should first create a DataGridTableSt yle and set its
MappingName to DataTable.Table Name, then create several
DataGridColumnS tyles, each for one DataColumn, then set each
DataGridColumnS tyle.MappingNam e to corresponding DataColumn.Colu mnName. At
last, we should add these DataGridColumnS tyles into DataGridTableSt yle
..GridColumnSty les property, and add this DataGridTableSt yle into
DataGrid.TableS tyles property.
Note: the most important thing is we must set the MappingName property
correctly, or the DataGridTableSt yle and DataGridColumnS tyles may be
invisible.
Below article provided a detailed information regarding DataGrid
DataGridColumnS tyle:
"Styling with the DataGridColumnS tyle, Part 1" http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...us/dnwinforms/
html/datagridcolumns tyle1.asp
If you want to know how to move columns in DataGrid, please refer to the
below FAQ:
"5.19 How do I move columns in a datagrid?" http://64.78.52.104/FAQ/WinForms/FAQ_c44c.asp#q764q
