OK. This combobox in datagridview is driving me batty. How does one grab the final selected item from the dataGridViewComboBoxColumn??

I saw one post where someone mentioned that you can do a cast to a editingcontrol and that would give you the selectedindex changed event. Any help is appreciated.

cheers

Private Sub dgv_EditingControlShowing(...) Handles dgv.EditingControlShowing

If e.Control.GetType() Is GetType(DataGridViewComboBoxEditingControl) Then

Dim cbo As ComboBox = e.Control

RemoveHandler cbo.SelectionChangeCommitted, AddressOf cboOnSelectionChangeCommitted

AddHandler cbo.SelectionChangeCommitted, AddressOf cboOnSelectionChangeCommitted

End If

End Sub

Private Sub cboOnSelectionChangeCommitted(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)

Dim cbo As ComboBox = CType(sender, ComboBox)

Console.WriteLine(cbo.SelectedValue.ToString())

End Sub

Private Sub dgv_EditingControlShowing(...) Handles dgv.EditingControlShowing

If e.Control.GetType() Is GetType(DataGridViewComboBoxEditingControl) Then

Dim cbo As ComboBox = e.Control

RemoveHandler cbo.SelectionChangeCommitted, AddressOf cboOnSelectionChangeCommitted

AddHandler cbo.SelectionChangeCommitted, AddressOf cboOnSelectionChangeCommitted

End If

End Sub

Private Sub cboOnSelectionChangeCommitted(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)

Dim cbo As ComboBox = CType(sender, ComboBox)

Console.WriteLine(cbo.SelectedValue.ToString())

End Sub
