Hello fellow programmers,

I have a dataGridView with 2 comboBoxColumns amongst simple textboxColumns. When I click on the combo in column 4 everything is good grid_EditingControlShowing is called and rawComboChanged is called after it.

But when i then click on column 11, rawComboChanged is called immediately, skipping the call to grid_EditingControlShowing that should point the code towards currencyChanged method.

I think i found the problem: "The DataGridView reuses editing controls across cells if the type is the same"... But i dont have a solution... Can anyone help?

public void grid_EditingControlShowing(object sender, System.Windows.Forms.DataGridViewEditingControlSho wingEventArgs e)
{
    DataGridView dataGridView = (DataGridView)sender;
    ComboBox comboBox = new ComboBox();
    if (dataGridView.CurrentCell.ColumnIndex == 4)
    {
        comboBox = e.Control as ComboBox;
        comboBox.SelectedIndexChanged += new System.EventHandler(this.rawComboChanged);
    }
    else if (dataGridView.CurrentCell.ColumnIndex == 11)
    {
         comboBox = e.Control as ComboBox;
         comboBox.SelectedIndexChanged += new System.EventHandler(this.currencyChanged);
    }
}

Hi, I'm facing the same problem, and figured out that adding a line that substracts the event evertime it enters to the method event-catcher will fix the problem. this is my code:

private void dgConceptos_EditingControlShowing(object sender, DataGridViewEditingControlShowingEventArgs e)
{
DataGridView dataGridView = (DataGridView)sender;
ComboBox comboBox = new ComboBox();
if (dataGridView.CurrentCell.ColumnIndex == 0)
{
comboBox = e.Control as ComboBox;
if (comboBox != null)
{
comboBox.SelectedIndexChanged -= new EventHandler(dgConceptosComboBoxDescripcion_Select edIndexChanged);
comboBox.SelectedIndexChanged += new EventHandler(dgConceptosComboBoxDescripcion_Select edIndexChanged);
}
}

}

private void dgConceptosComboBoxDescripcion_SelectedIndexChange d(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
ComboBox comboBox = (ComboBox)sender;

if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(comboBox.Text))
{
some code here...
}
comboBox.SelectedIndexChanged -= new EventHandler(dgConceptosComboBoxDescripcion_Select edIndexChanged);
}
