Why didn't trigger the CellEndEdit event of DataGridView

Question

All,I knew we can set a column editable for a DataGridView. And when finish editing the cell. the CellEndEdit event would be triggered. But I just want

Answer 1

Before BeginEdit. Set a variable to identify if current state is edit mode.

bBeginEdit = true;
dgvFileList.BeginEdit(false);

In the Form_Click event

        if (bBeginEdit)
        {
            dgvFileList.EndEdit();
            bBeginEdit = false;
        }

Thanks,

CellEndEdit() causes the event to be fired only if the cell was in edit mode (see Joe.wang's response). You can simply preceed CellEndEdit() with CellBeginEdit() to enter Edit mode (code from CellContentClick-handler, PickNewFont() is a wrapper for the FontDialog):

[...]
else if (String.Compare(rowName, "Font name") == 0)    // user clicks on Font-row
{
    dgvConfigSettings.BeginEdit(true);
    Font newFont = PickNewFont(fontName, fontSize, fontStyle);
    dgvConfigSettings.CurrentCell.Tag = newFont;    // a bit dirty.... but that way we can pick-up the font in the panel-handler more easily
    dgvConfigSettings.CurrentCell.Value = newFont.Name.ToString();
    dgvConfigSettings.EndEdit();
}

Try using the HitTest function in the MouseDown event of the grid:

void dgvFileList_MouseDown(object sender, MouseEventArgs e) {
  DataGridView.HitTestInfo hit = dgvFileList.HitTest(e.X, e.Y);
  if (hit.RowIndex < 0 | hit.ColumnIndex < 0) {
    dgvFileList.EndEdit();
  }
}

Clicking outside the DataGridView control would require hitting a focusable control.
