Update DataGridView Cell value [modified]

[Jay Royall]

Hi, I have a DataGridView control containing several columns one of which is a CheckBoxColumn. Clicking any of the CheckBoxes in this column fires the CellContentClick event which perfoms a task using the value of the clicked CheckBox. However, the value of the CheckBox doesn't seem to update until the cell loses focus, which is a problem for the task I am trying to achieve. Anybody help me on this one? Thanks. EDIT : Sorted it I think using the CommitEdit method of the grid.

Perhaps you can move the task from the CellContentClick event to the DataGrid's MouseUp event ? Determine which cell has been clicked there, and because MouseUp happens after the rest, the CheckBox value should be resolved and ready for you to use.

My advice is free, and you may get what you paid for.

In the CellContentClick event, you will get the updated value in the EditedFormattedValue property of the cell and not in the Value property.

It's not necessary to be so stupid, either, but people manage it. - Christian Graus, 2009 AD
