ComboBox databindng Problem

ComboBox databindng Problem

== How the ComboBox is setup and used:

My comboBox is populated by a lookup table. The ValueMember is the
lookup table's Id and the DisplayMember is the text from a
corresponding field in the lookup table. In my data table we store the
ID in what I will call the 'key' field.

== Description of the desired operation:

1.) When the user selects a record in the datagrid the bound comboBox
displays the DisplayMember of the corresponding Value stored in the
data table's 'key' field.
2.) When the user selects a record in where the 'key' field is null (no
selection was made or saved) the comboBox display should be empty to
indicated that fact.

== Description of the problem:

Simply put, #2 above does not happen. Here is what does; When the user
moves to a record in the datagrid in which the 'key' field is null the
comboBox is *not* empty, it incorrectly displays the first possible
selection in the comboBox.

== Additional facts: (read carefully - this could be a little
confusing)

Consider a scenario in which the 1st record stores a value in the 'key'
field and in the 2nd and 3rd records in which the 'key' field is null.
Here is what happens when we walk through the records;
In the 1st record: the comboBox always displays the correct value
corresponding to the 'key' field.
As the user moves to the 2nd record: incorrectly - values are shown
rather than being empty.
As the user moves to the 3rd record: correctly - the comboBox is shown
empty.
As the user moves back to the 2nd record: correctly - the comboBox is
shown empty this time.

In summary - when you move from a record with a populated 'key' to a
record with a null 'key' field - incorrect values will *always* be
displayed. When you move from record with a null 'key' field to another
record with a null 'key' field - correctly a *blank* will *always* be
displayed in the comboBox. Records with a populated 'key' filed will
*always display correct values.

What is the reason for the wrong display behavior?
What is the solution to get proper display behavior?

=============== =========
BTW - Here is the order in which I populate and bind the controls and
datagrid.
1.) populate the dataset with the datatables for the datagrid, controls
and the combobox
2.) set the combobox datasource, value and display members
3.) set the datagrid datasource and datamember
4.) bind the controls to the datatable and corresponding field
5.) set the binding context to the datatable

Not sure what you mean in number 5.

Altough it seems that other people had a similar problem with null values
and lookup combo, i can not reproduce this problem. It works perfectly even
on the first null.

Maybe you could post the entire code that reproduces this problem ?
What version of framework are you using ?

> Not sure what you mean in number 5.

Here is what I mean by number 5...
This variable is created;

Protected WithEvents _bmb As BindingManagerB ase

Then just after the controls binding I do this;
_bmb = Me.BindingConte xt(_dt)

What version of framework are you using ? DotNet framework 1.1.4322 SP1
Visual Studio 2003 Version 7.1.3088
Maybe you could post the entire code that reproduces this problem ?

I'll try to do this within a day.

Not sure what you mean in number 5.
Here is what I mean by number 5...
This variable is created;

Protected WithEvents _bmb As BindingManagerB ase

Then just after the controls binding I do this;
_bmb = Me.BindingConte xt(_dt)

Nothing wrong with storing a CurrencyManager , but for the connection between
DataGrid<->ComboBox, you don't need to handle any events. You are adding a
Binding to the ComboBox for SelectedValue, aren't you ?

What version of framework are you using ? DotNet framework 1.1.4322 SP1
Visual Studio 2003 Version 7.1.3088

Same here.

Maybe you could post the entire code that reproduces this problem ? I'll try to do this within a day.

Since a basic example seems to work for me, i can't say alot without seeing
any code.

Hi Bart,

I sent my code earlier today. You should have it by now look above.

Hi Bart,

Maybe you could post the entire code that reproduces this problem ?

Here is the entire code necessary to reproduce the problem. (It is
simplified to contain only the code necessary)

First of all, you are correct that binding to lookup ComboBox's causes
problems with null values, i should have seen this earlier.

The main reason for this problem is that the ComboBox's have their own
CurrencyManager which mantain position. The position of a CurrencyManager
can not be -1 (no item selected), but the SelectedIndex of a ComboBox can
be -1 (no item selected). That's causing a conflict.
This first time the Position of the CurrencyManager will go to 0 instead
of -1, but since it has changed, the ComboBox sees this and updates its
SelectedIndex from -1 to 0. The second time it doesn't matter anymore, the
CurrencyManager stays at 0, doesn't fire any changing events and the
SelectedIndex of the ComboBox can stay at -1.

All that's left is a workaround, but first a correction:

1) I see that you are handling a cell changed event, you needed to do this
because the DataSource of the DataGrid and the Controls aren't exactly the
same.
Remove the cell changed event :

'Protected Sub DataGrid1_Curre ntCellChanged(B yVal sender As Object,
' ByVal e As System.EventArg s) Handles DataGrid1.Curre ntCellChanged
' _bmb.Position = DataGrid1.Curre ntCell.RowNumbe r
' End Sub

Then it is important to bind the DataGrid and your Controls to the same
DataSource, let's use _dt:

Private Sub SetBindings()
'[ComboBox]
' .... no need to change ....

'[DataGrid - using _dt ]
Me.DataGrid1.Da taSource = _dt ' CHANGED

'[Controls - using _dt ]
Me.lblpkJobId.D ataBindings.Add ("Text", _dt, "pkJobId")
' ....

'[BindingContext - using _dt ]
_bmb = Me.BindingConte xt( _dt )

End Sub

Now the DataGrid and the Controls will navigate together without handling
the cell changed event.
2) A workaround for the null value problem:

Add the following code to the form, which handles the PositionChanged event
for the CurrencyManager you declared (_bmb) :

Private Sub _bmb_PositionCh anged(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArg s) Handles _bmb.PositionCh anged
'
Dim lv As DataRowView = _
DirectCast(_bmb .Current, DataRowView)

Dim cbs() As ComboBox = _
New ComboBox() {cboSystemPhase , cboSystemVoltag e}

For Each cbo As ComboBox In cbs
If
(lv(cbo.DataBin dings("Selected Value").Binding MemberInfo.Bind ingField) Is
DBNull.Value) And _
(cbo.SelectedIn dex <> -1) Then
cbo.SelectedInd ex = -1
End If
Next
End Sub
hth,

Hi Bart,

Thank you.I have implemented your suggestions and they work!

I have a question about the positon changed method in an environment of
inheritance. I use Protected Overridable in my base class and Protected
Overrides in my derived classes when I set my bindings. Is there a way
to implement _bmb_PositionCh anged as a Protected Overridable and use
Protected Overrides to bring in the different combo boxes in the
derived forms. I don'e know how to do this when I already have method
parameters. For now I have a separate copy of the method in each of my
eight derived classes. I believe there should be a more practical way.

dbuchanan,
Thanks
