Hi,

I'm afraid this is a very simple question, but I can't figure it out... I hardly ever use the DataGridView (usually use a third party grid) so I never needed to do this before.

Anyway, I have a DataGridView that is data-bound to a List(Of SomeClass). The grid is not ReadOnly, but I made every column ReadOnly except the very first, which is a boolean column so it displays a checkbox.

This way, the user cannot edit any cell value, but he can check/uncheck the checkbox in the first column.

What I need now basically is an event that is raised when the user (not programmatically) changes the value of this checkbox. I also need to be able to retrieve the bound item from that event (from the row number I think?) but that should be no problem, I hope.

Anyway, there's a bunch of events that looked promising but all have something I don't want:

1. CellBeginEdit - Fires before the checkbox value has changed, so can't use this.

2. CellEndEdit - Only fires after the edited row loses focus. I want to save it back to the database as soon as the user changes the checkbox value!

3. CellValueChanged - Same problem as nr 2.


I'm sure it must be possible for me to react as soon as the user changes the value of the checkbox? How can I do this?
