I ran into this myself. My recommendation: If you have ownership of the datasource, don’t use a List. Use a BindingList. The BindingList has events that fire when items are added or changed, and the DataGridView will automatically update itself when these events are fired.
I finally solved it: In Visual Studio, create a ContextMenuStrip with an item called “DeleteRow” Then at the DataGridView link the ContextMenuStrip Using the code below helped me getting it work. this.MyDataGridView.MouseDown += new System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventHandler(this.MyDataGridView_MouseDown); this.DeleteRow.Click += new System.EventHandler(this.DeleteRow_Click); Here is the cool part private void MyDataGridView_MouseDown(object sender, MouseEventArgs e) { if(e.Button == MouseButtons.Right) { … Read more
The way to do this is to set the EnableHeadersVisualStyles flag for the data grid view to False, and set the background colour via the ColumnHeadersDefaultCellStyle.BackColor property. For example, to set the background colour to blue, use the following (or set in the designer if you prefer): _dataGridView.ColumnHeadersDefaultCellStyle.BackColor = Color.Blue; _dataGridView.EnableHeadersVisualStyles = false; If you … Read more
I’d go with this: private void myDataGridView_SelectionChanged(Object sender, EventArgs e) { dgvSomeDataGridView.ClearSelection(); } I don’t agree with the broad assertion that no DataGridView should be unselectable. Some UIs are built for tools or touchsreens, and allowing a selection misleads the user to think that selecting will actually get them somewhere. Setting ReadOnly = true on … Read more
This will give you the gridview row index for the value: String searchValue = “somestring”; int rowIndex = -1; foreach(DataGridViewRow row in DataGridView1.Rows) { if(row.Cells[1].Value.ToString().Equals(searchValue)) { rowIndex = row.Index; break; } } Or a LINQ query int rowIndex = -1; DataGridViewRow row = dgv.Rows .Cast<DataGridViewRow>() .Where(r => r.Cells[“SystemId”].Value.ToString().Equals(searchValue)) .First(); rowIndex = row.Index; then you can … Read more
foreach (DataGridViewColumn column in dataGridView.Columns) { column.SortMode = DataGridViewColumnSortMode.NotSortable; }
this.dataGridView1.Columns[“CustomerName”].DefaultCellStyle.Alignment = DataGridViewContentAlignment.MiddleRight;
Set all the column’s (which can be sortable by users) SortMode property to Automatic dataGridView1.DataSource = students.Select(s => new { ID = s.StudentId, RUDE = s.RUDE, Nombre = s.Name, Apellidos = s.LastNameFather + ” ” + s.LastNameMother, Nacido = s.DateOfBirth }) .OrderBy(s => s.Apellidos) .ToList(); foreach(DataGridViewColumn column in dataGridView1.Columns) { column.SortMode = DataGridViewColumnSortMode.Automatic; } Edit: … Read more
You just need to make a custom class based off of DataGridView so you can enable its DoubleBuffering. That’s it! class CustomDataGridView: DataGridView { public CustomDataGridView() { DoubleBuffered = true; } } As long as all of my instances of the grid are using this custom version, all is well. If I ever run into … Read more
You can set: dataGridView1.FirstDisplayedScrollingRowIndex = dataGridView1.SelectedRows[0].Index; Here is the MSDN documentation on this property.
