Examples
The following code example illustrates the use of this method.
private DataGridView dataGridView1 = new DataGridView();
private void AddColorColumn()
{
DataGridViewComboBoxColumn comboBoxColumn =
new DataGridViewComboBoxColumn();
comboBoxColumn.Items.AddRange(
Color.Red, Color.Yellow, Color.Green, Color.Blue);
comboBoxColumn.ValueType = typeof(Color);
dataGridView1.Columns.Add(comboBoxColumn);
dataGridView1.EditingControlShowing +=
new DataGridViewEditingControlShowingEventHandler(
dataGridView1_EditingControlShowing);
}
private void dataGridView1_EditingControlShowing(object sender,
DataGridViewEditingControlShowingEventArgs e)
{
ComboBox combo = e.Control as ComboBox;
if (combo != null)
{
// Remove an existing event-handler, if present, to avoid
// adding multiple handlers when the editing control is reused.
combo.SelectedIndexChanged -=
new EventHandler(ComboBox_SelectedIndexChanged);
// Add the event handler.
combo.SelectedIndexChanged +=
new EventHandler(ComboBox_SelectedIndexChanged);
}
}
private void ComboBox_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
((ComboBox)sender).BackColor = (Color)((ComboBox)sender).SelectedItem;
}
Private WithEvents dataGridView1 As New DataGridView()
Private Sub AddColorColumn()
Dim comboBoxColumn As New DataGridViewComboBoxColumn()
comboBoxColumn.Items.AddRange( _
Color.Red, Color.Yellow, Color.Green, Color.Blue)
comboBoxColumn.ValueType = GetType(Color)
dataGridView1.Columns.Add(comboBoxColumn)
End Sub
Private Sub dataGridView1_EditingControlShowing(ByVal sender As Object, _
ByVal e As DataGridViewEditingControlShowingEventArgs) _
Handles dataGridView1.EditingControlShowing
Dim combo As ComboBox = CType(e.Control, ComboBox)
If (combo IsNot Nothing) Then
' Remove an existing event-handler, if present, to avoid
' adding multiple handlers when the editing control is reused.
RemoveHandler combo.SelectedIndexChanged, _
New EventHandler(AddressOf ComboBox_SelectedIndexChanged)
' Add the event handler.
AddHandler combo.SelectedIndexChanged, _
New EventHandler(AddressOf ComboBox_SelectedIndexChanged)
End If
End Sub
