re use datagridview

Hi,

I've build a datagridview with a particular style - docking, padding, row color ...

I'd like to re use this grid in another form. No drang and Drop possible or cut and paste because I'd like to build the grid programmaticaly...

Can I use something like a sub, structure, class

pseudo code :

Me.TabControl.TabPages.Item(0).Controls.Add(myGrid(myBindingSource))

I don't know exactly --- sorry for this newby question :-)

Can someone help me

Thanks

    I "fell" this is the answer to my question, but I'm probably too "young" to make it by myself...

    Can you help a little more

    Don't waste your time for me...If you don't have time, I will continue to search by myself

    Thanks again

    - Write your own datagridview class named as myGrid inherited from DataGridView

    - The class myGrid should be able to be created without parameter. That mean, if you include a

    Public Sub New(ByVal pBindingSource as BindingSource)

    You must also, include a

    Public Sub New()

    Without include "Public Sub New()", it means user cannot "myGrid" without parameter. In form design, all controls are assumed can be created without parameter.

    - Include "myGrid" in a project which will generate an assembly of "mylibrary" of assembly type as Library.

    - In a new project, add reference to this "mylibrary". In the form design of a new form in this new project, you WILL see there will a tool icon of "myGrid" in a tag of "myLibrary" in form design toolbox. You can drag and drop your "myGrid" to the new form and further change any your "own properties" defined in "myGrid" in the property page of "myGrid". So, try write some property in "myGrid" controlling the behaviour of you "myGrid".

    - This steps applied to any inherited control.

    I hope this would help.

    Gee Whizz.... Long Thread done there stating the the designer didn't Produce REAL CODE...... Boy was That WRONG....... Boy this Dude is a Real Bottom Feeder.... He's Gonna Roll His own datagridview....... I Hope He's Young....... Sorry about the small Crummy Font.....

  • Jon Bishop

    In actuality, the controls are added programatically. Look in the file {yourformname}.designer.vb. You will be able to copy what the designer does in your own subroutine.

    (you will have to press the 'show all files' button in the solution view, and it is a child of the {yourformname}.vb entry).
