[Andrew]

Hi,

I am just having a data table as a data source and i am attaching it as a
data source to a Compact Framework DataGrid.

The grid is coming readonly by default and i cant seem to find a way to make
it editable.

Whats the trick here?

Can some one help?

also please help on my earlier therad on bool column style. how to create
that in Compact Framework?

 

[Andrew]

Any one please?

Andrew,

As the found the Compact Framework DataGrid is read only, but you can use an
associated TextBox for data entry:

You can also try ComponentOne FlexGrid and Resco Smartgrid, both have trial
versions and allow for in-place text editing.

An hour?

Sat 31-Jan 20:40 (i.e. 8:40 pm) to Sun 1-Feb 10:17 AM?

Did I enquire in 1 hr? Where could you read an hr in this?

It was 13 hours, but still, it was less than a day and over a weekend.
Expecting turnaround in that timeframe is a bit unreasonable.

Well I appologies if I enquired a little early...

but than understanding that this is a connected world (literally around the
globe) and not confined to a local down the lane corner club where meeting
time is strictly in the evening...

13 hours is really sufficient to repost for a notice... especially when the
need for support is desparate for MSDN registered IDs...

Sorry about misreading the AM/PM on your messages. I apologize.

Remember that we are not paid to support you, nor is anyone in this forum
paid to support you. This is all peer support. You are not talking
directly to Microsoft (although you can pay to do that, if you really want a
24-hour, not 13-hour), turn-around, on average. I'm not sure what a
registered MSDN ID has to do with anything. Your question doesn't deserve
any more priority than anyone else's. If someone knows the answer, you'll
get a reply. If they are buried in an active project of their own, it might
take a few days. It's reasonable to strobe the thread after a day or two,
updating what else *you've* done in the mean time and what you've found, but
assuming that you're owed a response in short order is actually bad for
response times.

This is not a support channel. Everyone here is volunteering their time and
knowledge. 13 hours is *not* sufficient time. You seem to think that
everyone that might know about the problem will be reading this group 24x7
and that they feel obligated to answer immediately. You would be incorrect.

I'm not sure what you mean by a "MSDN registered ID" but if that means that
you have an MSDN subscription, then you have actual, *real* support
incidents associated with that. If you want a guaranteed and timely
respone, you can actually use one of them by contacting Microsoft Support.

Hi Paul, Chris,

The microsoft newsgroups are not just general purpose posts.

Live MSDN members are offered a special advantage for their queries as a
part of the MSDN subscription purchase.

FYI, read the below from:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/subscriptions/aa718661.aspx

[
Managed Newsgroups Support
For Developers the first port-of-call for answers is usually the community.
Where the community cannot answer the toughest of questions, MSDN
Subscribers have the exclusive guarantee of their question being answered.
If not effectively answered by the community, posts to the MSDN Newsgroups
from MSDN subscribers will be picked up by Microsoft engineers within 2
business days.
]

The item of interest is

"MSDN Subscribers have the exclusive guarantee of their question being
answered"
- yes it is

"If not effectively answered by the community, posts to the MSDN Newsgroups
from MSDN subscribers will be picked up by Microsoft engineers within 2
business days."
-well it does

So guyz, FYI, this is not a just general purpose newgroup. Its a little more
than that. Those queries which are from MSDN register IDs, they are
GUARANTEED pickedup by Microsoft itself for resolution, if not effectively
answered otherwise - which is alright - but Microsoft itself monitors these
MSDN ID's is something special. So this is a special provision only to MSDN
registered IDs and let me tell you, it helps.

"Sorry about misreading the AM/PM on your messages"

Anyways! But yes, it helps to be a little careful else it starts some
unnecessary threads...

"I'm not sure what a registered MSDN ID has to do with anything. Your
question doesn't deserve any more priority than anyone else's."

Your info is not complete on MSDN registration. Queries from MSDN registered
IDs are handled in a different special way by Microsoft.

"You are not talking directly to Microsoft "

The benefit is, apart from the world, I am talking with Microsoft directly
through this ID.


I never asked help from YOU directly nor i imagined nor i know. The forum is
worldwide and while one might be having holidays or weekends, the whole
gigantic rest of the world thrives in existence live and running - and
someone from somewhere does help. So no harm in a gentle call of help.

"If not effectively answered by the community, posts to the MSDN

This is not a managed newsgroup. The official list of them is here:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/subscriptions/aa974230.aspx

In fact none of the windows ce or device groups are on that list.

So guyz, FYI, this is not a just general purpose newgroup. Its a little
more than that. Those queries which are from MSDN register IDs, they are
GUARANTEED pickedup by Microsoft itself for resolution, if not effectively
answered otherwise - which is alright - but Microsoft itself monitors
these MSDN ID's is something special. So this is a special provision only
to MSDN registered IDs and let me tell you, it helps.

Negative. This *is* just a general Usenet newsgroup - it just happens to be
server from Microsoft's NNTP server. There is no guarantee of any answer
from MS here. Trust us. Paul and I have both been reading this group,
probably almost daily, since it was created (and significatly longer in the
older device groups). I know with absolute certainly that posting here and
expecting a response from a Microsoft engineer at all, let alone within 2
days, is futile. It simply doesn't happen. Do the MS engineers read the
groups? Yes, but with what frequency I can't say. Do they provide answers?
Occasionally. Just look at the history of people posting for the last week,
or even month if you really want verification on that.

But enough of this off-topic blathering. The answer is that the grid *is*
read only. It's unfortunate but by design. To make it "editable" the
typical workaround is to handle a click and float a textbox over the
selected cell.

Your info is not complete on MSDN registration. Queries from MSDN
registered IDs are handled in a different special way by Microsoft.

Maybe, IF YOU SEND THE QUERY TO MICROSOFT. Again, you are not talking to
Microsoft. You are posting to a public forum. There are occasionally one
or two Microsoft guys who read messages here in their spare time, but this
is not a Microsoft support channel.

"You are not talking directly to Microsoft "

The benefit is, apart from the world, I am talking with Microsoft directly
through this ID.

I'm sorry, but you're either deluded or have pushed the wrong button
somewhere. Your MSDN ID does nothing with respect to this group. We don't
check IDs at the door to the group and no one else that I can ever recall
has felt that being a MSDN subscriber had anything to do with priority on
this group. This is a public NNTP newsgroup. It happens to be about
Microsoft products and can be read from a Microsoft NNTP server, but it's
not a Microsoft channel, at all. You don't need a MSDN ID to connect to it,
read it, post to it, etc.
