The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

DataGridView combobox display

Asked by sgaggerj in Microsoft Visual Basic.Net

Tags: datagridview, combobox

Hi all,

Here's another DataGridView question:

I have a column in my DataGridView that is defined as DataGridViewComboBoxCells.
The cell is databound to a table in my database and gets its values from a single column in that table.

There are presently ~65 items in that column and it will continue to grow to a max of about 95

My problem is that when the combobox is clicked and the elements are displayed for the user to choose, the entire list of elements are not displayed.
A single column that starts at the very top of the screen, and goes all the way down to the task bar is displayed, showing around 50 items.
There are no scrollbars and moving the mouse towards the bottom of the list does not scroll it down further.

What I would like to do is one of the following:

1) Add scrollbars to the list that is displayed and reduce it's height to something a bit more managable, similar to a dropdown list in excel that shows 10-15 items and has scrollbar on the side to access the rest of the items in the list.

OR

2) Add a filter to the combobox where if the user types 1 or 2 characters (ie 'F' or 'FL') the the list of elements is filtered to show only those starting with 'F' or 'FL'.

OR

3) Add an auto-suggest feature similar to that of a web-browser where if the user types in the part of the code, below the box the filtered list (similar to #2) is displayed (ie in the addressbar of a web browser, if you start to type in an address of a page already visited, it will auto-suggest possible pages that it has in cache.)

Any of these would be acceptable and greatly appreciated if someone can help me out.

TIA!
