GridView checkbox cell

[Wild Thing]

Hi, I have a gridview where the first column is a checkbox. When I open the grid, the value of the first checkbox is always false, no matter how it is initialized. When I select another cell, the correct state appears. How could I have the correct value be shown?

Without seeing some of your code it is impossible to guess why this may be happening. How do you initialise the checkbox?

ok, here is my intitialization:

        foreach (Linie lrow in ud.Linien)
        {
            LLinGrid.Rows.Add();

            DataGridViewRow gr = LLinGrid.Rows\[LLinGrid.NewRowIndex - 1\];

            gr.Cells\["global"\].Value = Convert.ToString(lrow.Global);
            gr.Cells\["ust"\].Value = Convert.ToString(lrow.Ust);
            gr.Cells\["kennung"\].Value = Convert.ToString(lrow.Kennung);

            if ((lrow.Kennung & 0x80) != 0)
                gr.Cells\["isuz"\].Value = true;    // set and shown correctly !
            if ((lrow.Kennung & 0x40) != 0)
                gr.Cells\["aktiv"\].Value = true;   // set and shown correctly !

            gr.Cells\["dir"\].Value   = Convert.ToString(lrow.Dir);
                            
            **gr.Cells\["xmit"\].Value = true; // Debugger says : true, but shown as unchecked**
     }

if I move the "xmit" column from position 1 to >2, it works. I tried:

        LLinGrid.ClearSelection();
        LLinGrid.Rows\[0\].Cells\[1\].Selected = true;  // select next cell
        LLinGrid.Invalidate();
        LLinGrid.InvalidateCell(LLinGrid.Rows\[0\].Cells\[0\]);
        LLinGrid.Show();
        LLinGrid.UpdateCellValue(0, 0);

All of those didn't show the desired result. The value for the checkbox in the first column stays unchecked until I move to the next cell. this happens only in the first row; follwing rows are correct.

Got it. I had

this.Show();

positioned before the initialization block above. This raises the BeginEdit event for the first cell which seems to prevent the altering via program. There are 2 ways to solve this: move

this.Show();

or insert

LLinGrid.EndEdit();

behind initialization, Thanx for your interest.
