Alterntaives to Data Grid View
The List View control provides several of the data grid view features including multiple columns per item.
If you want to use images in columns other than column 1 or buttons then a datagrid view is usually a better choice.
Column Types
DataGridView columns can setup as:
Text
Button
CheckBox
ComboBox
Image
Link
Each cell in a column has to have the same type, but they can be customised with different button text, etc.
Clear Data Grid
dgvEdidBlock->DataSource = nullptr;
Clear All Columns
dataGridView1->Columns->Clear();
1 Click To Edit Checkboxes, Combo Box values, etc
Change the EditMode property of your DataGridView control to "EditOnEnter".
Read Data Grid Value
TxBuffer += String::Format("{0:X2}", MyDataGridView1->Rows[Count]->Cells[2]->Value->ToString());
Looping through rows and cells
for each(DataGridViewRow ^NextRow in dataGridView1->Rows)
{
for each(DataGridViewCell ^NextCell in NextRow->Cells)
{
}
}
Disable click column header to sort by column
for each (DataGridViewColumn ^DataGridViewColumn1 in dataGridView1->Columns)
DataGridViewColumn1->SortMode = DataGridViewColumnSortMode::NotSortable;
