Triggering a checkbox value changed event in DataGridView

Question

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 CellEndEdi

Answer 1

I had the same issue, but came up with a different solution:

If you make the column or the whole grid "Read Only" so that when the user clicks the checkbox it doesn't change value.

Fortunately, the DataGridView.CellClick event is still fired. In my case I do the following in the cellClick event:

if (jM_jobTasksDataGridView.Columns[e.ColumnIndex].CellType.Name == "DataGridViewCheckBoxCell")

But you could check the column name if you have more than one checkbox column.

I then do all the modification / saving of the dataset myself.
