Hi,
I have a datagridveiw combo box with a few values in there. I am trying to capture what user clicked. I tried CellValueChanged, CellContentClicked etc. but nothing works.
I want to store this value to a variable (important) and then shift the cursor to Column after user has selected value.

Please help. Please also advise what event to fire.

Thanks

Solution 1

In stead of trying CellValueChanged, you can use the below code

C#

dataGridView1.Rows["YourRowNumber"].Cells["YourColumnNameOrNumber"].Value;

It fetches the selected value properly.

But in what event?

EditingControlShowing of DataGridView. Sample code is attached. Not sure why the answer is marked as -16

I put it like this in your given event, when I clicked on four in my combo, no response
If dg.Rows(0).Cells(0).Value = "Four" Then
MsgBox("Success")
End If

On DataGrid EditingControlShowing event,

C#

private void dataGridView1_EditingControlShowing(object sender, DataGridViewEditingControlShowingEventArgs e)
{
    try
    {
        if (this.dataGridView.CurrentCell.ColumnIndex == (int)Column.Col)
        {
            ComboBox comboBox = e.Control as ComboBox;
            if (comboBox != null)
            {
                comboBox.SelectedIndexChanged += new EventHandler(ComboBoxIndexChanged);
            }
        }
        return;
    }
}

private void ComboBoxIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    dataGridView1.Rows["YourRowNumber"].Cells["YourColumnNameOrNumber"].Value;
}
