Namespace: System.Windows.Forms
Assembly: System.Windows.Forms (in system.windows.forms.dll)
Visual Basic (Declaration)
Public ReadOnly Property EditingControl As Control
Dim instance As DataGridView
Dim value As Control
value = instance.EditingControl
public Control EditingControl { get; }

Control^ get ();

/** @property */
public Control get_EditingControl ()
public function get EditingControl () : Control
Property Value
The Control hosted by the current cell.
If the cell is not in edit mode or the cell type does not accommodate an editing control, this property returns a null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic).
The following code example illustrates how to use this property in an overridden method of a custom cell type. In the example, a reference to the editing control is retrieved, cast to a custom editing control type, and then populated with the current value of the cell.
This example is part of a larger example available in How to: Host Controls in Windows Forms DataGridView Cells.
Public Overrides Sub InitializeEditingControl(ByVal rowIndex As Integer, _
ByVal initialFormattedValue As Object, _
ByVal dataGridViewCellStyle As DataGridViewCellStyle)
' Set the value of the editing control to the current cell value.
MyBase.InitializeEditingControl(rowIndex, initialFormattedValue, _
dataGridViewCellStyle)
Dim ctl As CalendarEditingControl = _
CType(DataGridView.EditingControl, CalendarEditingControl)
ctl.Value = CType(Me.Value, DateTime)
End Sub
public override void InitializeEditingControl(int rowIndex, object
initialFormattedValue, DataGridViewCellStyle dataGridViewCellStyle)
{
// Set the value of the editing control to the current cell value.
base.InitializeEditingControl(rowIndex, initialFormattedValue,
dataGridViewCellStyle);
CalendarEditingControl ctl =
DataGridView.EditingControl as CalendarEditingControl;
ctl.Value = (DateTime)this.Value;
