Buttons inside the datagrid

[Poochi]

Hello,

Currently I have a form that displays data from a database in a datagrid. I've also managed to add a column of buttons to the datagrid.

What I want to do is: When the user clicks the button, the data from the corresponding row will be displayed in a textbox.

This seems simple enough, but I can't seem to double-click on the datagrid button and then code the click event like I can with normal buttons. Instead, it just selects the entire datagrid.

Can anyone show me how to implement this?
Thanks.

P.S. I'm using the Express version of VB.NET

try this

It isn't wat u actually wanted, but the link below shows how to place combo and checkbox in the datagrid, so may be that might prove helpful, further there is some great stuff in it about datagrids that can be exploited.

Do you want to click, or double click the button?

No, what I mean is, normally when I want to code the click_event for a button, then I just double-click the button in the design view. However, I can't do this because all that happens is that I select the datagrid the button is inside. This creates the click_event stub for the datagrid rather than the button itself.

I want to find a way to code the click_event for the button inside the datagrid. Eg, display that rows data in a text box.

I get the feeling that you will have to do this in code because the buttons you see in the designer are just a rendering of the type of the column, they arent actually individual buttons.

I would encourage you to seek an option to fake this instead.. Why not put a click handler on the datagridview itself, and then in the handler, say:

If (datagridviewClickEventObject).Column = (Whichever_Column_number_holds_the_buttons) Then
'show the details of row (datagridviewClickEventObject).Row


I.e. put a click handler on the grid and do some action if a click lands within the column, rather than try to add an eventhandler to one of potentially thousands of buttons

Personally, i wouldnt even have the column of buttons..total waste of screen space! Just attach an event handler to a grid doubleclick and show the contents of whatever row is current (the first click makes some row current)
