Examples
The following code example handles the CellValidating event to ensure that only positive integers are entered by the user. This example is part of a larger example available in the VirtualMode reference topic.
void VirtualConnector::dataGridView1_CellValidating
(Object^ sender, DataGridViewCellValidatingEventArgs^ e)
{
int newInteger;
// Don't try to validate the 'new row' until finished
// editing since there
// is not any point in validating its initial value.
if (dataGridView1->Rows[e->RowIndex]->IsNewRow)
{
return;
}
if (!Int32::TryParse(e->FormattedValue->ToString(),
newInteger) || (newInteger < 0))
{
e->Cancel = true;
}
}
private void dataGridView1_CellValidating(object sender,
DataGridViewCellValidatingEventArgs e)
{
dataGridView1.Rows[e.RowIndex].ErrorText = "";
int newInteger;
// Don't try to validate the 'new row' until finished
// editing since there
// is not any point in validating its initial value.
if (dataGridView1.Rows[e.RowIndex].IsNewRow) { return; }
if (!int.TryParse(e.FormattedValue.ToString(),
out newInteger) || newInteger < 0)
{
e.Cancel = true;
dataGridView1.Rows[e.RowIndex].ErrorText = "the value must be a non-negative integer";
}
}
Private Sub dataGridView1_CellValidating(ByVal sender As Object, _
ByVal e _
As DataGridViewCellValidatingEventArgs) _
Handles dataGridView1.CellValidating
Me.dataGridView1.Rows(e.RowIndex).ErrorText = ""
Dim newInteger As Integer
' Don't try to validate the 'new row' until finished
' editing since there
' is not any point in validating its initial value.
If dataGridView1.Rows(e.RowIndex).IsNewRow Then Return
If Not Integer.TryParse(e.FormattedValue.ToString(), newInteger) _
OrElse newInteger < 0 Then
e.Cancel = True
Me.dataGridView1.Rows(e.RowIndex).ErrorText = "the value must be a non-negative integer"
End If
End Sub
Remarks
The text entered by the user through the user interface (UI) becomes the FormattedValue property value. This is the value that you can validate before it is parsed into the cell Value property value.
