Triggering a checkbox value changed event in DataGridView


I have a grid view that has a check box column, and I want to trigger a drawing event as soon as the value of the cell is toggled. I tried the ValueChaged and the CellEndEdit and BeginEdit, and chose the selection mode as CellSelect. As for the the first 2 events, the event was triggered upon the finishing of the edit mode, like moving out of the current cell, or going back and forth. It's just a weird behavior.

Is there anything that triggers the event on the grid view as soon as the cell value is changed?

  • A colleague of mine recommends trapping the CurrentCellDirtyStateChanged event. See http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.datagridview.currentcelldirtystatechanged.aspx.
