Data Grid

[Randy Hersom]

When my DataGrid shows only one table, it seems highly user unfriendly to
make the user expand the table list and select the only table on the list in
order to get to their data. How can the programmmer programmatically make
these selections for the user? I'm using C++.

Hi Randy,
You mean the datagrid is just showing a node of the table name instead
of the content when you are using one table?
Yes, this situation may happen when you only set the DataSource
property of the DataGrid to your DataSet, but leave the DataMember
property unset.
You may try setting the DataMember property to your table name in
corresponding dataset, This is easy in Design-time ,since the property will
show you your table name.You can also do it in run-time by simply giving an
string of your table name to the DataMember property. Thanks!

Does this solve your problem?
I'd appreciate if you could post a reply on the NG to let us know the
status of your problem,
Thanks for using MSDN Newsgroup!

When I posted this, my DataGrid would show up with no words and two cryptic
buttons in the upper left corner. Clicking on the lower button would reveal
the word Objective. Clicking on the word Objjective would then load the
desired data.

I got my intended result by adding this line just before the end of my
form_load
this->dataGrid1->NavigateTo(0,"Objective");

I will look at the DataMember info and see how that might help me in the
future.

Thanks
