When you add a ComboBoxColumn
in DataGridView
, I do not know how to handle the change event of ComboBox
.
'Adding To DGV data on form load
Dim cmbovoce As New DataGridViewComboBoxColumn()
cmbovoce.HeaderText = "Fruit"
cmbovoce.Name = "cmbovoce"
cmbovoce.MaxDropDownItems = 4
cmbovoce.Width = 100
cmbovoce.Items.Add("apple")
cmbovoce.Items.Add("pear")
cmbovoce.Items.Add("cherries")
cmbovoce.Items.Add("plums")
DataGridView1.Columns.Add(cmbovoce)
I strongly recommend you to use Cell events, such as CellValidating
, CellValueChanged
, ... to detect changes. The combobox that you are trying to handle its SelectedIndexChange
event, is a unique instance for all cells.
Anyway, if you want to know how to handle SelectedIndexChange
event of it,you can do it this way:
Private Sub Form1_Load(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
Dim c = New DataGridViewComboBoxColumn()
c.HeaderText = "Fruit"
c.Name = "c"
c.MaxDropDownItems = 4
c.Width = 100
c.Items.Add("apple")
c.Items.Add("pear")
c.Items.Add("cherries")
c.Items.Add("plums")
Me.DataGridView1.Columns.Add(c)
For index = 1 To 5
Me.DataGridView1.Rows.Add()
Next
End Sub
Private Sub DataGridView1_EditingControlShowing(sender As Object, e As DataGridViewEditingControlShowingEventArgs) Handles DataGridView1.EditingControlShowing
If (TypeOf (e.Control) Is ComboBox) Then
Dim combo = CType(e.Control, ComboBox)
RemoveHandler combo.SelectedIndexChanged, AddressOf c_SelectedIndexChanged
AddHandler combo.SelectedIndexChanged, AddressOf c_SelectedIndexChanged
End If
End Sub
Private Sub c_SelectedIndexChanged(sender As Object, e As EventArgs)
If (Me.DataGridView1.Columns(Me.DataGridView1.CurrentCell.ColumnIndex).Name = "c") Then
Dim combo = CType(sender, ComboBox)
'Do something with combo
End If
End Sub
