Click DataGridView cell, change its background image

[NANNERS]

Hello,

I'm trying to make a visual map editor, and figured that a DataGridView would be the best way to go. I would like to make it so that you can click one of many buttons to set which new image the grid cell will be set to when you click it.

I've set up pretty much everything except that I can't figure out how to set the background image of the cell that I clicked.

TL;DR:
How do I change the background image of the individual cell I click in a DataGridView?

The grid was created programmatically.

Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load

        'Set SelectedEntity
        SelectedEntity = Black

        'Just number
        Dim n As Integer = 0

        'Add 80 columns
        For n = 1 To 80
            Dim newCol = New DataGridViewImageColumn
            'Set default image to a wall
            newCol.Image = Black
            'Stretch the image to fit so it looks nice
            newCol.ImageLayout = DataGridViewImageCellLayout.Stretch
            'Set the width to look nice and pretty
            newCol.Width = 20
            'Set the number of the column for easier reading
            newCol.HeaderText = n.ToString
            'Add the column
            DataGridView1.Columns.Add(newCol)
        Next

        'Add 60 rows
        DataGridView1.Rows.Add(60)

    End Sub

try this. i used 4 color images that i added to my resources + 3 radiobuttons for changing SelectedEntity:

Public Class Form1
 
    Dim SelectedEntity As Bitmap
 
    Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
        'Set SelectedEntity
        SelectedEntity = My.Resources.black
 
        'Just number
        Dim n As Integer = 0
 
        'Add 80 columns
        For n = 1 To 80
            Dim newCol = New DataGridViewImageColumn
            'Set default image to a wall
            newCol.Image = SelectedEntity
            'Stretch the image to fit so it looks nice
            newCol.ImageLayout = DataGridViewImageCellLayout.Stretch
            'Set the width to look nice and pretty
            newCol.Width = 20
            'Set the number of the column for easier reading
            newCol.HeaderText = n.ToString
            'Add the column
            DataGridView1.Columns.Add(newCol)
        Next
 
        'Add 60 rows
        DataGridView1.Rows.Add(60)
 
 
    End Sub
 
    Private Sub DataGridView1_CellClick(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.DataGridViewCellEventArgs) Handles DataGridView1.CellClick
        DataGridView1(e.ColumnIndex, e.RowIndex).Value = SelectedEntity
    End Sub
 
    Private Sub RadioButton1_CheckedChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles RadioButton1.CheckedChanged
        SelectedEntity = My.Resources.red
    End Sub
 
    Private Sub RadioButton2_CheckedChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles RadioButton2.CheckedChanged
        SelectedEntity = My.Resources.green
    End Sub
 
    Private Sub RadioButton3_CheckedChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles RadioButton3.CheckedChanged
        SelectedEntity = My.Resources.blue
    End Sub
 
End Class

DataGridView1(e.ColumnIndex, e.RowIndex).Value = SelectedEntity

That's all I needed and it worked! Thank you

So I'm assuming that I can use e as the selected row and column for whenever I want to calculate the value and save to a text document?

it depends on the particular eventArgs of the handler sub you're using.
for example:

Private Sub DataGridView1_CellClick(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.DataGridViewCellEventArgs) Handles DataGridView1.CellClick
    DataGridView1(e.ColumnIndex, e.RowIndex).Value = SelectedEntity
End Sub

the DataGridView1_CellClick event has DataGridViewCellEventArgs which do contain ColumnIndex + RowIndex
