[2005]Binding combo boxes to datagridviews

[steve_rm]

Hello,

I have 1 list box and 2 combo boxes respectively, orders, ordered, delivered.

I have 3 datagridviews, dgvOrders, dgvOrdered, dgvdelivered.

I also have a different binding source binded to each one.

The customer creates orders and these new orders are placed in the orders datagridview.

There a drop down combo in the dgv so the user can select either, Ordered, delivered.

The customer will make the order, then click ordered, then the customer will select delivered from the orders dgv combo box and the orders will appear in the delivered dgv.

This is difficult to explain what the users wants, Once an order has been delivered, that order number should not display in the orders, ordered comboxes. Once the order has been ordered, it should not appear in the orders and delivered combo boxes.

But as the order can contain may rows, so orders could a mixture or orders, ordered, and delivered. so these should remain in each of the combo boxes.

I have also used the filter properties of the binding properties to display.

This is my code for filling the combo boxes.

Try
            Me.DsAddComponetAndEquipment.Orders.BeginLoadData()
            Me.TA_Orders_dsCodered1.Fill(Me.DsAddComponetAndEquipment.Orders)
            Me.DsAddComponetAndEquipment.Orders.EndLoadData()

            'Load and display only the orders that are new.
            Me.bsOrder.Filter = String.Format("Status = '{0}'", "New Order")
            Me.lstOrder.DataSource = Me.bsOrder
            Me.lstOrder.DisplayMember = "OrderID"
            Me.lstOrder.ValueMember = "OrderID"

            'This will select a newly created order, last order created will be set to the one displayed
            count = Me.lstOrder.Items.Count - 1
            If (count > 0) Then
                Me.lstOrder.SetSelected(count, True)
            End If

            'Fill the pending orders combo box with orders that have only been ordered. Not to show 'Delivered'
            Me.bsPendingOrders.Filter = String.Format("Status = '{0}'", "Ordered")
            Me.cboPendingOrders.DataSource = Me.bsPendingOrders
            Me.cboPendingOrders.DisplayMember = "OrderID"
            Me.cboPendingOrders.ValueMember = "OrderID"

            'Fill the delivered orders combo box.
            Me.bsDeliveryOrders.Filter = String.Format("Status = '{0}'", "Delivered")
            Me.cboDeliveredOrders.DataSource = Me.bsDeliveryOrders
            Me.cboDeliveredOrders.DisplayMember = "OrderID"
            Me.cboDeliveredOrders.ValueMember = "OrderID"

        Catch ex As Exception
            MsgBox(ex.Message)
        End Try

I think what is required is some very clever data binding technique. But as a novice I am looking for a more experienced way of doing it.

Can anyone tell me is there a better way to do this,

many thanks,

Steve
