i want to run CellEndEdit only when value of cell is changed, tried putting
if (dataGridView.Rows[e.RowIndex].Cells[e.ColumnIndex].Value.ToString() == e.For
You could definitely get there by catching the current cell value in CellBeginEdit
, then comparing it to the current cell value in CellEndEdit
. (Or use your CellValidation
trick.)
To avoid "multiple flags", you could use a Dictionary<DataGridView,object>
so you can key into the dictionary with the current event's grid, then get or set the appropriate value.
I made it like so:
C#:
private void DynList_RowValidated(object sender, DataGridViewCellEventArgs e)
{
if (ChangedRow == true) {
ChangedRow = false;
//Row Changed...
}
}
bool ChangedRow;
private void DynList_CellValueChanged(object sender, DataGridViewCellEventArgs e)
{
ChangedRow = true;
}
VB.Net:
Private Sub DynList_RowValidated(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As DataGridViewCellEventArgs)
If ChangedRow = True Then
ChangedRow = False
'Row Changed...
End If
End Sub
Dim ChangedRow As Boolean
Private Sub DynList_CellValueChanged(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As DataGridViewCellEventArgs)
ChangedRow = True
End Sub
I tried like 1 hour to archieve this, because no one had a solution for that, so I thought it might be useful for others
Instead of performing your tasks in CellEndEdit, put them in CellValueChanged. It is fired only when cell value is changed. Please note that it will fire when your DataGridViews are initially populated, but to handle that, you can put just one variable saying formInitialized or something, to make sure that you are not executing your CellEndEdit when you populate your data grids.
And to answer your question, there is no way to figure out if value is changed when CellEndEdit is fired, because it is always fired when cell gets out of edit mode. The only solution is, like you proposed, to store the old value externally, but you already noticed why is that bad (though it works really good in most of the cases).
But if you want to compute the value edited, you can use the suggested issue by J.Fisher like:
Private Sub dgvHost_CellBeginEdit(sender As Object, e As System.Windows.Forms.DataGridViewCellCancelEventArgs) Handles dgvHost.CellBeginEdit
dgvHost.CurrentCell.Tag = dgvHost.CurrentCell.Value
End Sub
Private Sub dgvHost_CellEndEdit(sender As Object, e As System.Windows.Forms.DataGridViewCellEventArgs) Handles dgvHost.CellEndEdit
If dgvHost.CurrentCell.Tag = dgvHost.CurrentCell.Value Then Exit Sub
dgvHost.CurrentCell.Tag = Nothing
'Do something like
dgvHost.CurrentCell.Value = MD5(dgvHost.CurrentCell.Value)
End Sub
MessageBox.Show(dataGridView1.Rows[e.RowIndex].Cells[e.ColumnIndex].Value.ToString());
