Grid, Any Suggestions

[s-c]

I am fairly new to vb.net and windows programming, and learn primarily by example.

I am trying to create the grid in the image below.



How would I go about doing this

Use a DataGridView.

Right click it on your form, Edit Columns.

Click "Add".

Name: colString
Type: DataGridViewTextBoxColumn
Header Text: String

Click "add" again - this time column2

Name colDateTime
Type: DataGridViewTextBoxColumn (there is no date column, I assume they are using text)
Header Text: DateTime

Click "add" again - this time column3

Name colCheck
Type: DataGridViewCheckBoxColumn
Header Text: CheckBox

Click "Close"
Click "OK"

Job done

That gets it done for the most part. But I still have a question about formatting the datagridview

How do I remove the first column with the arrow, so I can have just the displayed columns

with the inbuilt grid of VS2005, I don't think you can hide the record selector.

I may be wrong, but I can't see any property that will hide it.

DataGridView.RowHeadersVisible property

 

[Arg81]

RowHeadersVisible

I was looking for something under columns or headers

Great, very helpful...

Thanks for a great first experience here on vbdotnetforums

Damn it, I was looking for something under columns or headers

Just for future reference, the short fat things that run left to right, rather than up-down, those are called rows...

 

[Arg81]

ahh, that's where I was getting confused

Well you would think that as the arrow appears in a "column" that it may be a visible column setting... I use ComponentOne and not the standard grids, all my properties are different! (thats my excuse)
