Hi,
I have a datagridview with a checkbox column. I want to capture the value of checkbox immediately when user changes it by clicking. I tried several events (CellValueChanged, CellClicked,CurrentCellDirtyStateChanged etc.) but nothing worked.
My code is

If dgvIDsTBC.CurrentRow.Cells(2).Value = True Then
      MsgBox("True")
End If

Please advise what event to use for this.
Thanks
Furqan

Solution 1

Use CellContentClick

[Edit]

VB

Private Sub DataGridView1_CellContentClick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.DataGridViewCellEventArgs) Handles DataGridView1.CellContentClick
    MsgBox(DirectCast(sender, Forms.DataGridView).Rows(e.RowIndex).Cells(e.ColumnIndex).EditedFormattedValue)
  End Sub

CellContentClick does not work.

That is not enough, show how you did it. It would definitely work.

Actually the above given method works, but partially in the way I want.
I gave this code

MsgBox("Clicked")
MsgBox(DataGridView1.CurrentRow.Cells(2).Value)

While I want to capture the current value of checkbox, it True or False but in either cases, it show a blank box.
