    How about DataGrid.InvalidateCell ? ;)


    Formula 1 - Short for "F1 Racing" - named after the standard "help" key in Windows, it's a sport where participants desperately search through software help files trying to find actual documentation. It's tedious and somewhat cruel, most matches ending in a draw as no participant is able to find anything helpful. - Shog9 Ed

      If it has an Invalidate method, call it, that forces a repaint of a control.

        I crated my own class inherited from DataGridViewImageCell. How can I call a method from parent object which is DataGridView? I passed a DataGridView parameter to constructor but when I call grid.InvalidateCell() I have a message "Object refrence not set to an instance of an object"

          But DataGridViewImageCell does not have a Invalidate method.

            Then you probably need to Invalidate the entire grid.

              There is a method grid.InvalidateCell however I cannot call it because I have to do it from DataGridViewImageCell level (form my own class). I described the problem above. Thanks for advice.

                    I created my own classes public class ImageCell : DataGridViewImageCell { public ImageCell(DataGridView grid) { this.grid = grid; } ........ private void animate(object o, EventArgs e) { DataGridView dgv = (DataGridView)grid; dgv.InvalidateCell(this); /// there is an error } } and public class ImageColumn : DataGridViewColumn { public ImageColumn(DataGridView dgv) { this.CellTemplate = new ImageCell(dgv); this.HeaderText = ""; this.Width = 25; this.Resizable = DataGridViewTriState.False; } } In my application when I have DataGridView I just add ImageColumn object as new column passing DataGridView object to the constructor: ImageColumn imgCol = new ImageColumn(m_DataGridView); m_DataGridView.Columns.Add(imgCol); I do not like to pass such a parameter to the constructor. However how to call InvalidateCell in ImageCell class? thanks Ela

                      You should be able to get a reference to the DataGridView from the conveniently named property DataGridView in your class since you inherit from DataGridViewColumn / Cell and both these eventually inherit from DataGridViewElement which has a property which provides a reference to the DataGridView.

                          Don't worry I had a similar problem where I spent a whole day ripping code apart trying to find the answer and in the end it was looking me in the face :-O The X is probably because it can't find the gif or there was an error in the drawing code (similar to when a control crashes on the designer).
