Re: Host Control in DataGridView

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Thanks for your reply Nicholas.

I had a quick try to customize the example you provided and use it for
my own program, but stumbled on the fact that this custom cell uses a
method 'InitializeEditingControl'. In my case I need to show (without
editing) the LinkLabel. I have a feeling I need to overwrite other
methods in my case. I'll keep trying somewhat, but do not hesitate to
throw some more examples ;-)

Kind regards,
Frederik

Frederik,

What you are doing should be possible with a custom control for a
DataGridView. Here is a link to a sample which hosts a MaskedTextBox:

You should be able to adapt this to your needs.

Hi all,

Can someone tell me how I can host a LinkLabel in a DataGridView (the
existing DataGridViewLinkColumn does not provide what I need). Do I
need to derive from DataGridViewTextBoxCell or from DataGridViewCell?

Many thanks for any feedback/examples.
Frederik
