I have a Database that looks like this
Table Name : ri_closure
as what you see on the image above all of the columns except Month
are TinyInt(1)
and Month
is Varchar
now I have a code here
Dim con1 As MySqlConnection = New MySqlConnection("server=192.168.2.87;userid=root;password=admin1950;database=inventory")
Dim sql1 As MySqlCommand = New MySqlCommand("Select * from ri_closure", con1)
Dim ds1 As DataSet = New DataSet
Dim adapter1 As MySqlDataAdapter = New MySqlDataAdapter
con1.Open()
adapter1.SelectCommand = sql1
adapter1.Fill(ds1, "MyTable")
DataGridView2.DataSource = ds1.Tables(0)
con1.Close()
ds1.Tables(0).Columns(2).DataType = GetType(Boolean)
Me.DataGridView2.Columns(1).Frozen = True
Dim i As Integer
For i = 0 To DataGridView2.Columns.Count - 1
DataGridView2.Columns.Item(i).SortMode = DataGridViewColumnSortMode.Programmatic
Next
DataGridView2.Columns(0).Visible = False
DataGridView2.Columns(1).DefaultCellStyle.BackColor = Color.LightBlue
Now this is what it looks like
Now you see the output and I'm sure you dont that want that red ones. Irritating in the eyes and here is my code for that
For Each rw As DataGridViewRow In DataGridView2.Rows
For ii As Integer = 2 To rw.Cells.Count - 1
If rw.Cells(ii).Value = False Then
rw.Cells(ii).Style.BackColor = Color.Red
ElseIf rw.Cells(ii).Value = True Then
rw.Cells(ii).Style.BackColor = Color.White
End If
Next
Next
Now here is my question and I hope it is possible. I want to do something like this instead uncked and turn the cell in to red How can I make the uncked cell like this.
instead of empty checkbox it will look the same as the image above.
and another one I hope the that will generate filled checkbox will replace the uncheked value because I have code in checking of that one.
I try some code and this is the output
TYSM for future help
You can customize painting of DataGridViewCheckBox
column by handling CellPainting
event of DataGridView
. Then you can use CheckBoxRenderer
to draw the check box in desired state. The state which you want to show for unchecked state of check box is CheckBoxState.MixedNormal
:
Private Sub CellPainting(ByVal sender As Object, _
ByVal e As DataGridViewCellPaintingEventArgs) Handles DataGridView1.CellPainting
If (e.ColumnIndex = 0 AndAlso e.RowIndex >= 0) Then
Dim value = DirectCast(e.FormattedValue, Nullable(Of Boolean))
e.Paint(e.CellBounds, DataGridViewPaintParts.All And _
Not (DataGridViewPaintParts.ContentForeground))
Dim state = IIf((value.HasValue And value.Value), _
VisualStyles.CheckBoxState.CheckedNormal, _
VisualStyles.CheckBoxState.MixedNormal)
Dim size = RadioButtonRenderer.GetGlyphSize(e.Graphics, state)
Dim location = New Point((e.CellBounds.Width - size.Width) / 2, _
(e.CellBounds.Height - size.Height) / 2)
location.Offset(e.CellBounds.Location)
CheckBoxRenderer.DrawCheckBox(e.Graphics, location, state)
e.Handled = True
End If
End Sub
To test the solution you can add a column to grid this way:
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) _
Handles MyBase.Load
Dim C1 = New DataGridViewCheckBoxColumn()
C1.DataPropertyName = "C1"
C1.HeaderText = "C1"
C1.TrueValue = 1
C1.FalseValue = 0
Me.DataGridView1.Columns.Add(C1)
Me.DataGridView1.Rows.Add(DirectCast(1, Object))
Me.DataGridView1.Rows.Add(DirectCast(0, Object))
Me.DataGridView1.AllowUserToAddRows = False
End Sub
And this will be the result:
To draw the unchecked (in fact mixed state) in red color, after calling CheckBoxRenderer.DrawCheckBox
use this code:
If (state = VisualStyles.CheckBoxState.MixedNormal) Then
Dim rect = New Rectangle(location, size)
rect.Inflate(-2, -2)
e.Graphics.FillRectangle(Brushes.Red, rect)
End If
You can utilize the DataGridView
's VirtualMode
and then use CellValueNeeded
event to display your own content.
Here is what I suggest you should do,
- Decide an image to be displayed instead of checkbox (example a green tick)
- Set the
DataGridView
's VirtualMode
property to true
- After binding the
DataGridView
with your DataTable
iterate through all month columns set the DataProperptyName
as empty string (this important in order to trigger the event)
- Create an event handler for
DataGridView
's CellValueNeeded
event, in this event you will be receiving the Column Index and Row Index in event parameters. Use that to find the actual value behind and then return the green tick image (using e.Value
) or return a blank image depending on the value.
