The CellClick DataGridView in the combobox does not appear in the vb.net.

is there something wrong in my code? I updated the code from me so that the answer can be adjusted in the code because I am still confused with the answer

thanks

CodePudding user response：

It appears that you are retrieving data from a database into a DataTable and binding that to the DataGridView. In that case, you should bind that same DataTable to the individual controls. That way, selecting a row in the grid will automatically load that same row into the individual controls. You should also add a BindingSource to your form and bind through that, if you aren't already. E.g.

thingBindingSource.DataSource = thingDataTable
thingDataGridView.DataSource = thingBindingSource
stuffTextBox.DataBindings.Add("Text", thingBindingSource, "Stuff")

When you add a binding to a control, the first argument is the name of the control property and the last is the name of the source column/property. In the case of a ComboBox, you would normally bind data from another table and display a name/description and hide the ID, then have the ID populate a foreign key column in the other table. That might look like this:

With otherStuffComboBox
    .DisplayMember = "Name"
    .ValueMember = "ID"
    .DataSource = referenceListDataTable
    .DataBindings.Add("SelectedValue", thingBindingSource, "ForeignKeyColumn")
End With

It sounds like you're not doing that though. It sounds like you just have a list of Strings in the ComboBox and they are populating the other table directly. In that case, you can bind to the SelectedItem rather than the SelectedValue.

By the way, if you want to save changes to the database, you should be saving all the changes from the DataTable using the same data adapter that you used to populate it in the first place. Each time you edit a row, those changes are stored in the DataTable. You can navigate around and edit as many rows as you like and all changes are stored. To delete, you call RemoveCurrent on the BindingSource and that change is stored too. You can then call Update on a data adapter to save all the changes in a batch.
