Frustrated with preventing user resizing datagrid columns, please

[Guest]

Hi there,

I've tried everything that I know to prevent usre resizing datagrid columns,
but nothing works. Following are the code that I used. Please tell me
what's wrong with them. Thank you.

P.S.: dg is datagrid

Protected Overrides Sub OnMouseDown(ByVal e As
System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs)
Dim hti As DataGrid.HitTestInfo = me.dg.HitTest(New Point(e.X, e.Y))
If hti.Type = DataGrid.HitTestType.ColumnResize Then
Return 'no baseclass call
End If
MyBase.OnMouseDown(e)
End Sub


Protected Overrides Sub OnMouseMove(ByVal e As
System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs)
Dim hti As DataGrid.HitTestInfo = me.dg.HitTest(New Point(e.X, e.Y))
If hti.Type = DataGrid.HitTestType.ColumnResize Then
Return 'no baseclass call
End If
MyBase.OnMouseMove(e)
End Sub

Private Sub dg_MouseDown(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As
System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs) Handles dgPond.MouseDown
Dim hti As DataGrid.HitTestInfo = Me.dg.HitTest(New
Point(e.X, e.Y))
If hti.Type = DataGrid.HitTestType.ColumnResize Then
Return 'no baseclass call
End If
MyBase.OnMouseDown(e)
End Sub

Private Sub dg_MouseMove(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As
System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs) Handles dgPond.MouseMove
Dim hti As DataGrid.HitTestInfo = Me.dg.HitTest(New Point(e.X, e.Y))
If hti.Type = DataGrid.HitTestType.ColumnResize Then
Return 'no baseclass call
End If
MyBase.OnMouseMove(e)
End Sub

Hi,

You need to create an inherited datagrid for that. Here is the code
for one that will raise an event to let you the user is about to delete a
row. Also prevents the user from resizing a row or column.

Public Class ConfirmDeleteDataGrid

Inherits DataGrid

Public Event DeletedRow(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)

Private Const WM_KEYDOWN = &H100



Public Overrides Function PreProcessMessage(ByRef msg As
System.Windows.Forms.Message) As Boolean

Dim keyCode As Keys = CType((msg.WParam.ToInt32 And Keys.KeyCode), Keys)

If msg.Msg = WM_KEYDOWN And keyCode = Keys.Delete Then

If MessageBox.Show("Delete This Row?", "Confirm Delete", _

MessageBoxButtons.YesNo) = DialogResult.No Then

Return True

Else

RaiseEvent DeletedRow(Me, New EventArgs)

End If

End If

Return MyBase.PreProcessMessage(msg)

End Function

Protected Overrides Function ProcessDialogKey(ByVal keyData As
System.Windows.Forms.Keys) As Boolean

Dim pt As Point

Dim hti As DataGrid.HitTestInfo

pt = Me.PointToClient(Cursor.Position)

hti = Me.HitTest(pt)

If keyData = Keys.Delete Then

If hti.Type = Me.HitTestType.RowHeader Then

If MessageBox.Show("Delete this row?", "Confirm Delete", _

MessageBoxButtons.YesNo) = DialogResult.No Then

Return True

Else

RaiseEvent DeletedRow(Me, New EventArgs)

End If

End If

End If

Return MyBase.ProcessDialogKey(keyData)

End Function



Protected Overrides Sub OnMouseDown(ByVal e As
System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs)

Dim hti As DataGrid.HitTestInfo = Me.HitTest(New Point(e.X, e.Y))

If hti.Type = DataGrid.HitTestType.ColumnResize Or hti.Type =
DataGrid.HitTestType.RowResize Then

Return 'no baseclass call

End If

MyBase.OnMouseDown(e)

End Sub

Public Sub New()

Trace.WriteLine(Me.VertScrollBar.Visible.ToString)

End Sub

Protected Overrides Sub OnMouseMove(ByVal e As
System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs)

Dim hti As DataGrid.HitTestInfo = Me.HitTest(New Point(e.X, e.Y))

If hti.Type = DataGrid.HitTestType.ColumnResize Or hti.Type =
DataGrid.HitTestType.RowResize Then

Return 'no baseclass call

End If

MyBase.OnMouseMove(e)

End Sub


End Class

Thank you so much Mr. Tucker. You solved my problem. "Inherited" is the key
that I missed.

Thanks again.
