How to host any UserControl in DataGridViewCel l permanently?

Hello!

I'm writing a Windows Application and want to
host different User Controls in a DataGridView.

The Controls are not known during design time, they
could be graphs, comboboxes, curves, checkboxes or anything else.

I need them to be shown in the cell not only when I want to edit the
cell, the Controls should be always visible.

So far I see 2 possible solutions:
1. hosting the Controls in the DataGridView itself and paint them over
the referring cell-coordinates. But I have several problems with
scrolling then.

2. My Favorite solution would be to derive the DataGridViewCel l-class
and make it to ignore the editmode and host/show the UserControl all the
time. But I have no Idea how to do this. I guess
IDataGridViewEd itingCell could help?

Any help would be very appriciated!

I am trying to create a custom DataGridViewCell which is "NOT" derived from DataGridViewTextBoxColumn. The painting works fine but I am unable to get the control into edit mode. Do I need to manually handle the OnClick, something else, or is there somewhy to set the edit control? Edit type is called when the cell is clicked so it seems to be doing something.

Hi all, I'm trying to set the DataGridViewCell.Value of an unbound column. I can set the value in code, but the value isn't being displayed. I tried to RefreshEdit/EndEdit/Invalidate the DataGridView but that did not work. Only thing that seems to work is assigning the cell value in the CellFormat event but this seems clumbersome.

Hi all, Can someone tell me how I can host a LinkLabel in a DataGridView (the existing DataGridViewLinkColumn does not provide what I need). Do I need to derive from DataGridViewTextBoxCell or from DataGridViewCell? Many thanks for any feedback/examples. Frederik

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. 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,...
