Event that fires during DataGridViewComboBoxColumn SelectedIndexChanged


I have DataGridView with two columns. The first column is TextBoxCol(DataGridViewTextBoxColumn) and the Second one is ComboBoxCol(DataGridViewComboBoxColumn).

How can I change the value of TextBoxCol when ComboBoxCol changes its selected index value? (This should happen when selected index changed in ComboBoxCol. Not after leaving the column, like dataGridView_CellValueChanged)

I have read one topic with almost the same problem that I am having but I dont understand the answer(which should be correct base on the check mark). Here's the link. -Almost same topic


Solution

  • Give these two simple methods a go (the '1' in the top method is the index of the combobox column)

    The line that you would make you modifications to would be the setter line cel.Value =, as you may change it to whatever you like.


        private void dataGridView1_EditingControlShowing(object sender, DataGridViewEditingControlShowingEventArgs e)
        {
            if (dataGridView1.CurrentCell.ColumnIndex == 1 && e.Control is ComboBox)
            {
                ComboBox comboBox = e.Control as ComboBox;
                comboBox.SelectedIndexChanged -= LastColumnComboSelectionChanged;
                comboBox.SelectedIndexChanged += LastColumnComboSelectionChanged;
            }
        }
    
        private void LastColumnComboSelectionChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            var currentcell = dataGridView1.CurrentCellAddress;
            var sendingCB = sender as DataGridViewComboBoxEditingControl;
            DataGridViewTextBoxCell cel = (DataGridViewTextBoxCell)dataGridView1.Rows[currentcell.Y].Cells[0];
            cel.Value = sendingCB.EditingControlFormattedValue.ToString();
        }
