How to handle SelectedIndexChanged event for a ComboBox? [duplicate]

Answer 1

If I use EditingControlShowing event then cb_SelectedIndexChanged fires several times, even when user selects combobox but doesn't change selection.

This works for me:

private void dataGridView1_CellValueChanged(object sender, DataGridViewCellEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.ColumnIndex == comboboxColumn.Index && e.RowIndex >= 0) //check if combobox column
    {
        object selectedValue = dataGridView1.Rows[e.RowIndex].Cells[e.ColumnIndex].Value;
    }
}

//changes must be committed as soon as the user changes the drop down box
private void dataGridView1_CurrentCellDirtyStateChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    if (dataGridView1.IsCurrentCellDirty)
    {
        dataGridView1.CommitEdit(DataGridViewDataErrorContexts.Commit);
    }
}
