DataGridView.EditingControlShowing Event

Note: This event is new in the .NET Framework version 2.0.

Occurs when a control for editing a cell is showing.

Namespace: System.Windows.Forms
Assembly: System.Windows.Forms (in system.windows.forms.dll)

'Declaration
Public Event EditingControlShowing As DataGridViewEditingControlShowingEventHandler
'Usage
Dim instance As DataGridView
Dim handler As DataGridViewEditingControlShowingEventHandler

AddHandler instance.EditingControlShowing, handler

/** @event */
public void add_EditingControlShowing (DataGridViewEditingControlShowingEventHandler value)

/** @event */
public void remove_EditingControlShowing (DataGridViewEditingControlShowingEventHandler value)

JScript supports the use of events, but not the declaration of new ones.

You can handle this event to perform custom initialization of the editing control when a cell enters edit mode. To customize the display characteristics of the control, set the properties of the object returned by the DataGridViewEditingControlShowingEventArgs.CellStyle property rather than setting the properties of the control returned by the DataGridViewEditingControlShowingEventArgs.Control property.

For more information about handling events, see Consuming Events.

The following code example illustrates how to handle this event to change the BackColor property of the current cell. To run this example, paste the code into a form that contains a DataGridView named dataGridView1 and ensure that the EditingControlShowing event is associated with the event handler.

Private Sub dataGridView1_EditingControlShowing(ByVal sender As Object, _
    ByVal e As DataGridViewEditingControlShowingEventArgs) _
    Handles dataGridView1.EditingControlShowing

    e.CellStyle.BackColor = Color.Aquamarine

End Sub
