dotnet windows forms : DataGridViewLinkCell: cannot set ReadOnly to false
Working in C# with the Windows Forms 2.0 "DataGridView" control here, and a column of cells of type DataGridViewLinkCell. The DGV is bound to a datasource, and user is allowed to add rows. The subject line is a bit of a misnomer in that I *can* set the ReadOnly property to false - both at design time and at run-time - but am still unable to directly edit the cell's contents (by clicking into the cell and typing, for instance). Programmatically setting the cells' contents works fine, but I can't for the life of me get the ReadOnly = false to take. I've read up on the DGVLC and it's members, and although it speaks as if this is absolutely doable, it's not doable for me. Most of its properties are inherited from DataGridViewCell, which has this to say about the ReadOnly property... (taken from: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.datagridviewcell.readonly.aspx) "The ReadOnly property indicates whether the data displayed by the cell can be edited. You can set ReadOnly for individual cells, or you can make an entire row or column of cells read-only by setting the DataGridViewRow.ReadOnly or DataGridViewColumn.ReadOnly properties. By default, if a cell's parent row or column is set to read-only, the child cells will adopt the same value. You can override this default behavior by setting ReadOnly for individual cells." Just to note, I've got no trouble editing "normal" DGVCells. :) Has anyone else seen this behavior, or have any clue as to what I'm missing? Thanks in advance! --Marshall

Hey again, Still would love some input on this one, folks. Is no one else using the DataGridViewLinkCell, maybe? Even if this is super easy and you're resisting posting an "RTFM!" I'd still like to get that - at least I'd know to keep digging. :) Thanks! --Marshll [quoted text, click to view] "Marshall" <marshm@news.postalias> wrote in message news:utfePRWHGHA.2836@TK2MSFTNGP14.phx.gbl... > Hey all, > > Working in C# with the Windows Forms 2.0 "DataGridView" control here, and > a column of cells of type DataGridViewLinkCell.

Hi Marshall,
Do you get an "exception" that you can examine in the debugger?

Nope, no exception, and when I check the cell's ReadOnly property at runtime
it is indeed set to *false*, although the ability to edit the cell directly is still not enabled. Thanks for the response! --Marshall [quoted text, click to view] "Mark Carew" <markcarew@magicwanddept.com.au> wrote in message news:%23hLF8eXIGHA.916@TK2MSFTNGP10.phx.gbl... > Hi Marshall, > Do you get an "exception" that you can examine in the debugger? > Regards > Mark > > "Marshall" <marshm@news.postalias> wrote in message > news:O%239ieSRIGHA.3700@TK2MSFTNGP15.phx.gbl... >> <adding crosspost> >> >> Hey again, >> >> Still would love some input on this one, folks.
