DataGridViewElementStates Enum

Definition

Namespace:
System.Windows.Forms
Assembly:
System.Windows.Forms.dll

Specifies the user interface (UI) state of a element within a DataGridView control.

This enumeration has a FlagsAttribute attribute that allows a bitwise combination of its member values.

Examples

The following code example illustrates the use of this type. For more information, see How to: Perform a Custom Action Based on Changes in a Cell of a Windows Forms DataGridView Control.

private void dataGridView1_CellStateChanged(object sender,
    DataGridViewCellStateChangedEventArgs e)
{
    DataGridViewElementStates state = e.StateChanged;
    string msg = String.Format("Row {0}, Column {1}, {2}",
        e.Cell.RowIndex, e.Cell.ColumnIndex, e.StateChanged);
    MessageBox.Show(msg, "Cell State Changed");
}

Private Sub dataGridView1_CellStateChanged(ByVal sender As Object, _
    ByVal e As DataGridViewCellStateChangedEventArgs) _
    Handles dataGridView1.CellStateChanged

    Dim state As DataGridViewElementStates = e.StateChanged
    Dim msg As String = String.Format( _
        "Row {0}, Column {1}, {2}", _
        e.Cell.RowIndex, e.Cell.ColumnIndex, e.StateChanged)
    MessageBox.Show(msg, "Cell State Changed")

End Sub

Remarks

Although these different states, like Frozen, are enforced by the UI, they can be programmatically overruled.
