I wish to make a custom view of relations in a datagrid
what i want to do is when the plus sign is clicked instead of showing the
link label
i want to show a grid with the subtable in that area between the selected
grid and the next grid.

however i cannot seem to find a method of obtaing the position coordinate
for that area.? and ideas on how to go about finding the position?

thanks again

Hi,


Here is an example that uses the northwind database. Add 3
datagrids to a form. dgorders, dgorderdetails, dgemployees.


Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load

Dim ds As DataSet

Dim daEmployees As SqlDataAdapter

Dim daOrders As SqlDataAdapter

Dim daOrderDetails As SqlDataAdapter

Dim conn As SqlConnection

Dim strConn As String

Dim strSQL As String

Dim strItem As String

Dim ctrl As Control

For Each ctrl In Me.Controls

If TypeOf ctrl Is DataGrid Then

Dim dg As DataGrid = ctrl

dg.AllowNavigation = False

End If

Next

strConn = "Server = " + Environment.MachineName + "\VSdotNet;"

strConn += "Database = NorthWind;"

strConn += "Integrated Security = SSPI;"

conn = New SqlConnection(strConn)

ds = New DataSet

daEmployees = New SqlDataAdapter("Select * from Employees", conn)

daOrders = New SqlDataAdapter("Select * from Orders", conn)

daOrderDetails = New SqlDataAdapter("Select * from [Order Details]", conn)

daEmployees.Fill(ds, "Employee")

daOrders.Fill(ds, "Orders")

daOrderDetails.Fill(ds, "OrderDetails")

ds.Relations.Add("EmployeeOrder",
ds.Tables("Employee").Columns("EmployeeID"), _

ds.Tables("Orders").Columns("EmployeeID"))

ds.Relations.Add("Order2Details", ds.Tables("Orders").Columns("OrderID"), _

ds.Tables("OrderDetails").Columns("OrderID"))

dgEmployees.SetDataBinding(ds, "Employee")

dgOrders.SetDataBinding(ds, "Employee.EmployeeOrder")

dgOrderDetails.SetDataBinding(ds, "Employee.EmployeeOrder.Order2Details")

End Sub
