Hi,

I can't seem to make a disabled checkbox in a datagridview with a Tick In where the user can't select & stores a value of 0

I got this off the net but it shows a disabled box with no tick in and no value stored in the background as well even more dissapointing
once the mouseover or mousemove between rows the so called disabled checkbox chnages to enable or state.

On the CellPainting Event:
e.PaintBackground(e.CellBounds, true);
Rectangle r = e.CellBounds;
r.Width = 15;
r.Height = 15;
r.X += e.CellBounds.Width / 2 - 8;
r.Y += e.CellBounds.Height / 2 - 8;
ControlPaint.DrawCheckBox(e.Graphics, r, ButtonState.Flat);
e.Handled = true;

Is there no other way?

Please Assist, Regards

Hi,

 

DataGridView does not have built-in support for disabling a cell. We can change the Visual Cue that it is disabled.

Please refer to this FAQ:

By the way, if you don’t want user to check the checkbox, you can set the readonly property to true.

 

Here is example shows Disable CheckBoxcolumn. Hope this helps.
