DataGridView.EditingControl Property
Gets the control hosted by the current cell, if a cell with an editing control is in edit mode.
Assembly: System.Windows.Forms (in System.Windows.Forms.dll)
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 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; // Use the default row value when Value property is null. if (this.Value == null) { ctl.Value = (DateTime)this.DefaultNewRowValue; } else { ctl.Value = (DateTime)this.Value; } }
