Force a Grid to be 2x2

[Michael Scott]

I''m trying to change the size of a grid to a single cell (ncluding row/col borders) if there is no data, but it isn''t working. What is wrong with this code (what am I missing) :

if (numDefects == 0)
{
this.gridCtl.BeginUpdate();
int [,] grid = new int[2, 2];
for (int i = 0; i < 2; i++)
for (int j = 0; j < 2; j++)
grid[i,j] = 0;
this.gridCtl.Model.PopulateValues(
GridRangeInfo.Cells(0, 0, 2, 2), grid );
this.gridCtl.EndUpdate();
this.gridCtl.Refresh();
this.gridCtl.Invalidate();
return;
}

Hi Michael,

The Populate method gives you an easy way to copy the data from any given datasource that implements the IList interface or is an Array to the specified range of cells in the Grid. It doesn''t configure the grid (ie it doesn''t set the RowCount/ColCount/Style property of the grid). If you want to configure the grid, you can set those property explictly. Here is a code snippet.

if (numDefects == 0)
{
this.gridCtl.BeginUpdate();
int [,] grid = new int[2, 2];
for (int i = 0; i < 2; i++)
for (int j = 0; j < 2; j++)
grid[i,j] = 0;
this.gridCtl.Model.PopulateValues(
GridRangeInfo.Cells(0, 0, 2, 2), grid );

//Set the RowCount AND Colcount
this.gridCtl.RowCount = 1;
this.gridCtl.ColCount = 1;

this.gridCtl.EndUpdate();
this.gridCtl.Refresh();
this.gridCtl.Invalidate();
return;
}

Let me know if this helps,
