When I am in the datagrid control and press delete, the entire row is deleted. However, I only want the contents of the cell to be deleted.

How can I trap the delete key and have it set the contents of that cell to null?

Thanks,

Joshua

Hi,

What exactly do you want to do when you click on the Delete button on a datagrid? Do you want to delete only a particular cell's contents or do you want to clear the contents of the entire row without deleting it?

I would like to only clear the particular cell's contents.

Thanks,

You could try using a SELECT button:

Datagrid1.SelectedItem.Cells(i).text = ""

i = the cell(s) you would like to empty in the selected row

I still have to trap the delete. Currently when I hit delete it deletes the row. I don't want that to happen. How can I disable or change this?

Thanks!

i have not done it.. however I would expect you should catch the delete event on the grid and then mark it as handled- thereby short circuiting the actual delete.
