Is there a way to change the display of a tinyint column from text field to checkbox in phpMyAdmin?
I know there is no boolean type in MySQL, so I can see why it's a text field, but manually changing it to a checkbox would be nice.

How to delete the columns in ag-grid table using column Id in reactJs?
Use setColumnVisible(colKey, visible) in columnApi. It Sets the visibility of a column. colKey can be the column id or Column object. visible is a boolean, true to show, false to hide. I don't think you can remove a column, but you can hide or show it.

I have a table with a combination of Text Boxes and Comboboxes all bound to fields in a Users table.
The combo boxes are used to select items such as Location, Access rights and Title which are all listed in seperate tables.
However as the values for Location, Access rights and Title are stored in my users table as the integer Primary keys from the related tables this is what is being displayed on my form.
How do I set the combobox field to display the Loc_Name rather than the Loc_ID but still be bound to the original users table?
The second problem I have is that when I select the dropdown for the combo box I get the List of Locations (for example) which is fine and when I select the valid location it displays the Loc_Name in the combobox field. The problem here is that because the combobox is bound to an integer type field in the Users table the form will not accept the String Loc_Name only an integer value.
Am I going about this the wrong way????
Details of settings:
The Location combobox on my form is bound to the Location field in my users table which stores the foreign key integer value from the locations table.
The ComboBox datasource is set to the Locations Table Binding SOurce
The Combobox Display member is set to Loc_Name
The Combobox Value Member is set to Loc_ID
The Selected value is set to (None)
Sorry. Should have put this here.
Looks like I might have been going about it the wrong way. Instead of referencing the valueID with the combo box I had to create a SELECT that join the two data tables and display the Joined data. On update the combobox had to be set to reference the original ID Field. Seeming like a very roundabout way of doing it. No where near as neat as Access.
I am attempting to set the value of a combo box from a "Splash Screen" type form in Access that will take the user's computer name and load two combo boxes on another form with the Employee ID and Manager ID, which are both bound columns of the combo boxes, which are unbound themselves. I can get the IDs in the combo box, but i want it to still display column 2 (Names) of both combo boxes. Right now it just displays the IDs. Anyone got any ideas how i can get it to react like i actually picked it in the combo box?
So, comboboxes can sometimes be tricky, but once you get it down you should be good to go.
So, when looking at a Combobox's properties,
The Format tab :
ColumnCount: 2 <-- You want the ID and the Name
ColumnWidths: 0";1" <--- You're hiding the ID field, which is the first column
The data tab:
This is where you're going to tell Access what data you're supplying for your combobox.
Usually it's a query or table data source. If it's a query you should be selecting the ID and Name fields, and use that query in the RowSource property in the Data tab.
Row Source: Select ID, Name FROM YourTable
Row Source Type: Table/Query
When you use the Wizard to create the combobox, it's fairly straightforward. When Access asks you to format your data source, you completely shrink the ID column, so it hides it (but it's still there).
The steps would be:
I want the combobox to look up the values in a table or query
Select the Table or Query
Select the Fields (ID and Name seem appropriate for your scenario)
Any sorting you may want
The next screen is where we want to hide our ID column, so shrink it entirely
The next screen is where we tell Access that we want the ID to be in scope (selected) when we select a combobox item
Name it & be proud
I have a Windows forms DataGridView with a combobox column. The combo box column is bound to a data source that is populated from a Linq to Entities query. I would like users to be able to select "Nothing" in the combo box (assign a value of NULL to the underlying data source).
How can I accomplish this?
DataGridView supports the Ctrl+0 keystroke to enter a null value into a cell, so you can use that to clear out a combo box's value and set it back to null.
I have an application in Access 2003 that I am working on. In it, I have an employee table, which is connected to two other tables. The two connected tables are tables that hold a few fixed KeyWords. In my main employee table, I just have the ID from the other table, rather than having the whole word.
I wanted to make a form for entering data into these tables, so I made a query from the three tables that shows the all the regular fields of the employee table except instead of those two ID's, I showed the words themselves.
I then made the form and set the query as the RecordSource. The fields that have keywords are Combo boxes on my form, and their ControlSource is the keyword field from the query (like I mentioned earlier, the value can only be one keyword out of a list). Now, the problem I face is this: When I want to see a single record, it shows the correct value in the ComboBox, but when dropdown the menu, it doesnt show any of the other values.
What is the best way to do this? Am I doing this in the wrong way?
Thank you
I'd approach this slightly differently, set the combo box Row Sources to include both the id and text fields (you can hide the ID column if required by setting it's width to zero). Now add the ID fields to the employee query; you shouldn't need to join the other tables to the Employee table in this query, these fields are foreign keys and the combo boxes should show the text for you automatically. Set the form Record Source to this query, now set the combo box Control Source to the appropriate ID value from the form Record Source.
If you let the wizard build a form for you based on the Employee table you will see this approach in action.
ControlSource is the column name of the table where any user entry will be saved.
RowSource is where you type the name of the saved query or manual query typed directly into that field, which is used to provide a list of available drop down options for the combo box.
RowSourceType should be set to Table/Query, which is based on aforementioned RowSource method.
Now to correct the problem of only displaying what you begin to type (i.e. "Allow AutoCorrect" in Property Sheet > Other) or already have saved for that record without other options appearing after clicking the drop down is the following:
In Design View, click the combobox in question.
Property Sheet > Format > Column Count = set the desired number of columns to display in drop down.
Property Sheet > Format > Column Widths = set the desired width of column in the drop down.
Property Sheet > Format > List Width = set the desired width of the drop down itself.
Property Sheet > Data > Bound Column = set to the column of query table (i.e. 1 for ID and 2 for list options, if you only have two entries)
Note: If your desired drop down options are column two and not column one (makes things easier btw) then do the following change from above:
Property Sheet > Format > Column Count = set the desired number of columns to two.
Property Sheet > Format > Column Widths = add two entries 0",1" which means the ID field is not visible (0") and the options field is one-inch.
The easiest way to sort this out in the beginning is to view the column header names to know what you are looking at in the meantime by doing the following:
Property Sheet > Format > Column Heads = set to yes. At least you will know what is showing and whether or not you are on the right track.
I had this same issue in access 2016 and the issue was with my datatype. The combo box didnt accept 'Longtext' so i just changed datatype to 'shorttext' instead and all the values appeared.
You have set the query as the recordsource for the form. A form only shows (and ties to) ONE record at a time.
Since you want the combo box to show all the values, you should set the RecordSource of the ComboBox to your query.
