[RESOLVED] DataGridView cell restriction

Hi, how i prevent the user from entering data other than numbers to a DataGridView cell ?

If you bind the datagridview to a collection of custom objects, the cells will be validated as the object's property types.

For instance, if you have a datagridview which is bound to a generic list of Person objects. This class could have an integer property defined - let's call it Age. When editing a cell, the input will not be accepted as anything other than an int.

Note, however, that committing another type, such as a string, will cause the datagridview's DataError event to be raised.

Hope it helps :)

thanks foamy, i found this solution :

Code:

---

...
this.dataGridView1.EditingControlShowing += new System.Windows.Forms.DataGridViewEditingControlShowingEventHandler(this.DataGridView1EditingControlShowing);
...
        void DataGridView1EditingControlShowing(object sender, DataGridViewEditingControlShowingEventArgs e)
        {
            if(e.Control is TextBox)
            {
                TextBox tb = e.Control as TextBox;
                tb.KeyPress -= new KeyPressEventHandler(tb_KeyPress);
                if (this.dataGridView1.CurrentCell.ColumnIndex != 0)
                {
                    tb.KeyPress += new KeyPressEventHandler(tb_KeyPress);
                }
            }
        }
       
        void tb_KeyPress(object sender, KeyPressEventArgs e)
        {
            if (!(char.IsDigit(e.KeyChar)))
            {
                    e.Handled = true;
            }
        }
