Disabling a column in DataGridView

Has anybody found a way to disable a column in DataGridView i.e prevent it
being selected. With DataGrid it was fairly easy to check on the column being
entered and move the selection to the next column, this does not seem
possible with DataGridView.

Handle the DataGridView.Co lumnStateChange d event. The event passes an
instance of DataGridViewcol umnStateChanged EventArgs, which includes a
reference to the Column, as well as the type of state that has changed. You
can then set the Selected property of the Column to false.

Thanks had to use CellStateChange d to avoid selection of individual cells,
but that worked perfectly.

The dataset is created at run time, so I don't know column headers in advance. The table's column captions are set at run time, using the DataColumn.Caption property. The table is bound to the grid using the grid's DataSource property. Here is my...

I have been searching all over the web for a way to sort a DataGridView based on the actual text being shown in a ComboBox column as opposed to the underlying value (an ID in this case). Can anyone tell me if this is even possible, and if so, how to do it? If this is completely impossible, how would you suggest going about sorting a ComboBox wherein the text displayed in the column is the client's name, and the underlying value is an ID? ...

I'm trying to make a datagridview column to act like a datetimepicker column (C#.Net 2005). These are the behaviours that the dgv should have: 1) Initially all the cells of the dtp column should be blank unless they are filled by the user. 2) As soon as the user enters a cell, the dtp control should appear as the editing control of that cell. If there's a value in the cell beforehand, that value is set as the value of the dtp editing control...

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
