Setting the CurrentCell and then calling BeginEdit(true) works well for me. The following code shows an eventHandler for the KeyDown event that sets a cell to be editable. My example only implements one of the required key press overrides but in theory the others should work the same. (and I’m always setting the [0][0] cell … Read more
I realize this is an old question, but I figured I would give my solution to anyone out there that may need to be able to do this. While I couldn’t find any answers to do exactly this… I did find an answer to a different question that helped me. This is my solution: private … Read more
The above answer led me down the primrose path for awhile. It does not work as it causes multiple events to fire and just keeps adding events. The problem is that the above catches the DataGridViewEditingControlShowingEvent and it does not catch the value changed. So it will fire every time you focus then leave the … Read more
If the DataGridView is databound, you shouldn’t directly modify the content of the cell. Instead, you should modify the databound object. You can access that object through the DataBoundItem of the DataGridViewRow : MyObject obj = (MyObject)dataGridView.CurrentRow.DataBoundItem; obj.MyProperty = newValue; Note that the bound object should implement INotifyPropertyChanged so that the change is reflected in … Read more
You should set DefaultCellStyle.WrapMode property of column to DataGridViewTriState.True. After that text in cells will be displayed correctly. Example (DataGridView with one column): dataGridView1.Columns[0].DefaultCellStyle.WrapMode = DataGridViewTriState.True; dataGridView1.Rows.Add(“test” + Environment.NewLine + “test”); (Environment.NewLine = \r\n in Windows)
The error says “The index is out of range”. That means you were trying to index an object with a value that was not valid. If you have two books, and I ask you to give me your third book, you will look at me funny. This is the computer looking at you funny. You … Read more
To scroll to bottom of DataGridView try this. dataGridView1.FirstDisplayedScrollingRowIndex = dataGridView1.RowCount-1;
Set the ReadOnly property of the other columns to true. (You’ll probably need to loop through the Columns collection and use an if statement)
I solved this by simple copy and paste method. I don’t know it is the best way to do this but,for me it works good and almost instantaneously. Here is my code. private void copyAlltoClipboard() { dataGridView1.SelectAll(); DataObject dataObj = dataGridView1.GetClipboardContent(); if (dataObj != null) Clipboard.SetDataObject(dataObj); } private void button3_Click_1(object sender, EventArgs e) { copyAlltoClipboard(); … Read more
[Browsable(false)] will hide a property from a DataGridView. A visual designer typically displays in the Properties window those members that either have no browsable attribute or are marked with the BrowsableAttribute constructor’s browsable parameter set to true. These members can be modified at design time. Members marked with the BrowsableAttribute constructor’s browsable parameter set to … Read more
