VB2005 Icons for Binding Navigator

The new data features in VB2005 are great, but when you need to do more than just form fill, I have found it to be too restricting. For example, I need to find the next available ID and fill it in, along with uploading pictures etc.

In the end, I gave up trying to do it the 'easy' way and have gone back to my trusted VS 2003 way (creating the data adapter and dataset etc). My question is, the binding navigator has good looking icons (better than I have created) and as some other forms still use the new method, I need this to graphically mirror the other forms to give a consistent look and feel.

I pasted a binding navigator on to the form but the icons are greyed out (I'm guessing by default unless you bind with a binding source). Is there a) any way to un-grey out these buttons so I can write the necessary code behind them...or b) grab those icons and paste them into a toolstrip

Thanks

Hello Lee -

You should be able to enable the BindingNavigator buttons by setting the individual buttons Enabled property to true. For example to enable the Add New Item button --> bindingNavigatorAddNewItem.Enabled = True...

hope that helps...
