DataGridView not displaying data in ToolStripControlHost
- by jblaske
I'm utilizing the code posted by Jesper Palm here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/280891/make-user-control-display-outside-of-form-boundry
/// <summary>
/// A simple popup window that can host any System.Windows.Forms.Control
/// </summary>
public class PopupWindow : System.Windows.Forms.ToolStripDropDown
{
private System.Windows.Forms.Control _content;
private System.Windows.Forms.ToolStripControlHost _host;
public PopupWindow(System.Windows.Forms.Control content)
{
//Basic setup...
this.AutoSize = false;
this.DoubleBuffered = true;
this.ResizeRedraw = true;
this._content = content;
this._host = new System.Windows.Forms.ToolStripControlHost(content);
//Positioning and Sizing
this.MinimumSize = content.MinimumSize;
this.MaximumSize = content.Size;
this.Size = content.Size;
content.Location = Point.Empty;
//Add the host to the list
this.Items.Add(this._host);
}
}
I've translated it to VB:
Public Class PopupWindow
Inherits System.Windows.Forms.ToolStripDropDown
Private _content As System.Windows.Forms.Control
Private _host As System.Windows.Forms.ToolStripControlHost
Public Sub New(ByVal content As System.Windows.Forms.Control)
Me.AutoSize = False
Me.DoubleBuffered = True
Me.ResizeRedraw = True
Me._content = content
Me._host = New System.Windows.Forms.ToolStripControlHost(content)
Me.MinimumSize = content.MinimumSize
Me.MaximumSize = content.MaximumSize
Me.Size = content.Size
content.Location = Point.Empty
Me.Items.Add(Me._host)
End Sub
End Class
It works great with a PictureBox showing its information. But for some reason I cannot get the DataGridView to display anything when it is in the popup.
If I pull the grid out of the popup it displays all of its information fine. If I pause during debug, the grid shows that it has all the data in it. It's just not displaying anything.
Does anybody have any ideas?
