I want to know how to get values from a table in a DataViewCollection and put them into variables.
I have bought and read many books and bought and watched many videos but not show me what I want. They all show you how to display data on the screen in controls or objects.

I have a sheet in excel that is basically like a database (yes it has to be in excel unfortunately) and I want to design a simple form to display the records (the different column values in the rows). Usually MS is good with making widgets to do this but I cant seem to figure out how to write it in VBA (easily)
Basically I have a list of Names and ID#'s then some other columns that need to be filled in (address, order # etc) but I'd like the user to do this via a form rather than typing in excel. I created a small form in VBA, but now I cant link the columns to the textboxes in the form.
Anyone know of any code I can plug and play to do this.
Specifically I am using a ComboBox (for the list of names) and then a for loop searching through it to find the selection and updating data. But its a real pain.
plus I cant figure out how to put in a 'Next' button, which is really annoying me. Does anyone know how to change the comboBox value to the next row, if it is linked via RowSource
Have you considered the Form feature? You can find under the commands you can add to your QuickAccess toolbar.

I have developed a list in SharePoint. While entering new item in it, like name, if I keep on typing it gets spread over a line making the width of cloumn spread over page. I want to limit the width of site column so as the column's value spreads over multiple lines instead of spreading over one. How can I do this setting?
This is not a setting you can configure in SharePoint. You will need to write some custom code using css and possibly javascript that will set the width of the column. You can make a change like this in SharePoint Designer.
You must use min-width (CSS) in your block.
You have to create custom XSLT for this. There you have loop all the column and need to specify the overflow:auto, hidden,.. CSS property. So it automatically get effect based on your internal name of the field.
So whereever you have the field it automatically get affected. If it for one single view you can use JavaScript to achieve this but this is not right way to do.
The data you are entering can be displayed in many ways. Today in a table format, tomorrow in a dropdown etc. You should distinguish between:
limiting the amount of data that can be entered in a site column (can be done in SharePoint alone, when you design your list)
limiting the wrapping of the words in a table cell today or trimming the values in a dropdown tomorrow (can be done using HTML/CSS "nowrap" if you display the list values in a browser app, or differently if you show the values in a WinForms app)
I am making a list using LinearLayout and would like to add several "person"-objects to my "list"
I need to be able to click on an object in this list an pull out the person object or at least the personId to be able to find the specific person in my database.
How do I go about doing this?
I have tried using a TextView but it is too simple to contain all of the desired values.
I have also tried using a ListView but I have several LinearLayout next to each other. The ListView scroll individually and therefore I can't use them
Here is an image:
As you can see I am trying to make a grid of sorts each column is a linearview and at the moment so are each row.
I realize there is a grid but I need to be able to fit objects in where I want them and I am too inexperienced to write my own adapter for the gridview
You can achieve this using a ListView with a custom ArrayAdapter.
Check out this example.
Instead of the Weather class, use your own Person object and make the necessary modifications.
Edit:
After reading your edit, I can see that you have some kind of Grid. So my best guess would be to use a GridView with a custom adapter.
Since you are getting your data from a database, you might as well use a custom CursorAdapter.
But I still haven't figured out what you're trying to do.
It seems that you want all the cells to be visible. That would only mean you have a small/finite amount of cells, and in that case a GridView wouldn't be any better than a for loop that adds views to a layout.
mates! I'm new in programming in lotus notes and I have a question.
I want to create an outline based on categories such as: Sorting people after their names, their birthdate and by their phone number. Could everyone explain me how to do this? Should I create an embedded outline ? This outline should be contain on a frame. Thanks!
Traditionally you would create a frameset that defines the layout of your application's frames, and then set one of those frames to display a page, which in turn contains the outline. The target of the outline frame would be a main frame where you show the views -- the selected outline node defines which view to show.
You need to create several views, one for each "sort by" you described if you want there to be a link to each sorted view. Your outline would then contain entries for each view. As an alternative, you could create just one view and make the column headers allow sorting provided you can show all the necessary columns in one view.
I have a custom publishing page layout I have created. The content type behind the page layout has a lookup column pointing to a document library where I store images. Basically, the pages I am creating from the layout are 'articles' and I have an associated image with each.
As you can probably guess by now, I want to display the lookup image on the page. However, I cannot for the life of me figure out how to do this. I have been inserting columns into the page layout via controls, but I'm not sure how to format it to look at the source document behind the lookup column. I am wondering if it is possible somehow through controls, and if not this way, if it can be done through modifying the XSL of a webpart. My last option which I don't want to use but I know it would work is a workflow (on new item creation, copy Name (FileLeafRef) into a hidden single line text field I coult utilize).
Does anyone know how to format a lookup column to display Name (FileLeafRef)?
Help is greatly appreciated!
