Data Grid problem

[Shailja]

Hi,

I am using vb. I have data grid on my form. At runtime i am not able to enter data into data grid. I think grid is locked. Do i need to set any property or need to write code to enter as many records as i want at runtime?

I am using DataGrid. Is it ok or i should use DBGrid. My back end is access.
Please help me soon. It is quite urgent.

The link by ansuman will help you if you are using visual studio 2005
The below is the exact link for it (i presume)
Please do read the tutorial carefully

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/vbcon98/html/vbconUsingDataGridControl.asp

First check out the allowaddnew property set it to true
Thereafter if you are using a adodc control then set the relevant properties.
After setting the properties of adodc control right click on the datagrid and choose retrieve fields.

In case you are going to code then set the recordset to the datagrid
here's an example
Here Myrs2 is the record set
'Set on the cursor location
MyRs2.CursorLoc ation = adUseClient
MyRs2.Open "select * from investmentdetai ls ", MyCon, adOpenDynamic, adLockOptimisti c
'Set the datasource to the record set
Set DataGrid1.DataS ource = MyRs2

NEXT TIME ONWARDS PLEASE PUT ON YOUR CODE

Good luck

I dont want to display records from a perticular table. I want to enter records by my own into Data Grid at runtime. So what is the solution for that?

DID U TRY OUT THE CODE

'Set on the cursor location
MyRs2.CursorLoc ation = adUseClient
MyRs2.Open "select * from investmentdetai ls ", MyCon, adOpenDynamic, adLockOptimisti c
'Set the datasource to the record set
Set DataGrid1.DataS ource = MyRs2
NOW YOU WILL BE ABLE TO ENTER DATA.
Make sure to set AllowAddNew and AllowUpdate to true
No need any more code it will automatically add the records In case you want to delete set AllowDelete to true

No, Still i am not able to enter new record in data grid. You dont understand my question. I dont want to display records of perticular table in grid. I want to add records in grid at runtime. Grid will be blank at runtime and i want to enter data in it. Neither cursor is coming in first column and first row nor i m able to enter the record

you can better use the component 'VSFlex' to write at the run time

How to enter data in that at runtime? Plz let me know

Shailja ,
MSFlexgrid is not editable.
That's y i had suggested u to use Componant One's VsFlexGrid
Try It
Good Luck

See this is the third part componant.
So u have to manage it by urself.
for run time editing no need to code any more its by default editable i.e. u've to set its editable property =0 or 1 or 2 or 3
try it Good Luck

Kindly let me know one thing. Are u connecting datagrid with ADODC control or are you using ADODB.
In case you are using ADODB I am at complete loss to understand why and where did my code fail in entering data.
I not only completed my project using that code. But got installed at the client's place with much success.

I am using ADODB. Why I need to connect datagrid as i dont want to display records from perticular table. I want to enter by my own. Is it possible with datagrid or not?
