Question

Im busy with a Windows Embedded CE 5.0 mobile app. I’m a bit stuck at the moment. I’m using a datagrid with data. I want to add a extra column to the grid(already did this. I added null from dual). Now in app i want users to be able to change the value of the field(how many units are in one pack).

Here is my code for the Datagrid:

private void gridView()
    {
        conn.Open();
        string query = "select distinct s.sku_id_no SKU_id, (pt.product_type_desc|| ' ' ||ps.prod_size_desc|| ' ' ||c.colour_desc) Product_Desc, null Pack_Units from sku s , product_type pt , prod_size ps , colour c , purch_order_carton_sku pocs, purch_order_carton_sku poc, dual where pocs.order_no ='" + this.orderCode + "' and pocs.carton_code ='" + this.cartonCode + "' and pocs.sku_id_no = s.sku_id_no and s.prod_size_id_no = ps.prod_size_id_no(+) and s.colour_id_no = c.colour_id_no(+)";
        OracleDataAdapter da = new OracleDataAdapter(query, conn);
        OracleDataSet ds = new OracleDataSet();
        da.Fill(ds);
        dgSku.DataSource = ds.Tables[0]; 
    {

Then I call the grid when screen loads like this:

private void frmCartonContentVerification_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        gridView();
    }

So above is how it looks at the moment. So when a user for example click the first field of Pack_Units i want them to be able to edit the field.

Goal is when they click the NEXT button a validation procedure must run and check if that is correct. So it will be great if some can also show me how to get the value from a select field??

Im using Oracle database with VS 2005 c#.

Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

To get a value of currently selected cell (assume dgSku is your DataGrid):

var value = dgSku[dgSku.CurrentCell.RowNumber, dgSku.CurrentCell.ColumnNumber];

To be able to edit field….I’m afraid the solution is fairly painful. What you essentialy need is a column that is made up of TextBoxes, and because .NETCF provides only a subset of desktop equivalent’s functionality you have to make one yourself. Have a look here and here, this should give you a good starting point.
