datagrid woes

Hi all,

I have a disabled datagrid on my form. Disabling it was, it seemed, the
only way to prevent the user from being able to change the selected row or
modify the appearance of the grid in any way.

The problem is that I need working scrollbars on this grid, and disabling
the grid also disables the scrollbars.

Is there a way to get the grid to behave as though it were disabled, except
for it's scrollbars?

Thank you,
Jesse

I think if you set the DataGrid's ReadOnly property to true, that should do it.

thanks, but what i'm after here is not a restriction on the editability of
the data in the grid, but on the appearance changes that a user can make by
clicking here and clicking there. Rows get highlighted, cells get
highlighted and have a dotted border around them. Scrolling is possible if
the user touches low enough on the bottom row. All these things I want to
prevent... and yet still have scrollbar functionality.

Hi, I have a typed dataset working nicely, bound to my datagrid (Windows forms) using stored procs for insert/update/delete. The first column contains the primary key of the base table, so when I add a new record it inserts into the dbase fine. However the PK column still shows (null), meaning it hasn't refreshed back from the database. What's the best way to get back the PK and insert it into my Dataset and grid?

Hello all: What is the best way to get a reference to an item selected in a data grid?

Alright, so this is strange. someone let me know if this is a *bug* or not. Whenever I would use Dataset.Merge(datarows()) method, I would always get an exception (IndexOutOfRangeException) on the currency manager after a paint was fired on the datagrid controls. Old code was currMan.Suspendbinding()

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
