Remarks

The DataGridViewTextBoxColumn class is a specialized type of DataGridViewColumn class used to logically host cells that enable displaying and editing of text strings. A DataGridViewTextBoxColumn has an associated DataGridViewTextBoxCell object in every DataGridViewRow that intersects it. When a DataGridViewTextBoxCell becomes activated, it supplies a DataGridViewTextBoxEditingControl control to handle user input.

The sort mode for this column type defaults to Automatic.

Notes to Inheritors:

When you derive from DataGridViewTextBoxColumn and add new properties to the derived class, be sure to override the Clone method to copy the new properties during cloning operations. You should also call the base class's Clone method so that the properties of the base class are copied to the new cell.

Examples

The following code example illustrates the use of this type.

Visual Basic

Dim titleColumn As New DataGridViewTextBoxColumn()
titleColumn.HeaderText = "Title"
titleColumn.AutoSizeMode = _
    DataGridViewAutoSizeColumnMode.AllCellsExceptHeader

DataGridViewTextBoxColumn titleColumn =
    new DataGridViewTextBoxColumn();
titleColumn.HeaderText = "Title";
titleColumn.AutoSizeMode =
    DataGridViewAutoSizeColumnMode.AllCellsExceptHeader;
