Determine if the Combo Box button has been clicked in a DataGridViewCel l

JB
Hi Everyone,

I have a DataGridView with Combo Boxes in its cells.
I'd like to know if the user has clicked on the right side arrow
button that triggers the opening of the drop down list.
After experimenting with the various events, I can find out which cell
the user has clicked and whether or not he/she's clicked in the
content (i.e. on the content text), but not on the right side arrow
button.
Can somebody help me out with this?

Thanks
JB

You MIGHT be able to do some mathematical operations to determine
this.

When you click you do a hittest to find out where the mouse is on the
control. After knowing where the mouse is on the form you just have
to determine where the mouse is within the cell which can be used by
calculating the rowheight of every row to that point and the column
width of every column to that point. Once you have that information
you'll know that the button is [buttonwidth]px out of a total
[columnwidth]. If the hittest returns a value columnwidth -
buttonwidth they're clicking the button.

Hi, I know how to do an action listener with a button but now I want to try something a bit harder. This is what I want to do... When you user presses the JButton it looks at the JComboBox to see if it is selected. If it is, a sound is played. If it isn't, nothing happens. I'm not sure how to do this so if someone could give me a simple example or send me on the write track I would very much appreciate it. Thanks alot

I'm looking for some code that makes a list presented in a subform autoscroll in response to the user typing - like a combo box dropdown or a regular ListBox does. I.e. The user is looking at subform that is a list of, say, 2,000 people's names. The first name is "Aardvark, John", and the last name is "Zero, James". Instead of scrolling, the user types "S" and is jumped to "Sammons". Then, on the next keystroke as they type "m", it...

I have a custom control which has it's own OnValidating event handler. I would like to skip the validations if the Cancel/Exit button is pressed. Also, if possible, would like to skip the validations if the X was clicked to close the form. How can I do this? Thanks, Vern

I have a combo box that searches for records in the database. When a name is typed in that is not in the database, Access shows a message box that says, The test you entered isn't an item in the list. with an "OK" button. Is there a way to get it to clear the text that has been typed in, or highlight it when the "OK" button is clicked?

Hello, I have a form and a combo box that I use to filter the form to particular records. I also have an "add new" button that, when clicked, adds a new record. My problem is that the filter combo box stays on the old selection when the new record pops up. I would like to have the combo box clear or set to a default value of "New" when the Add New button is clicked or when the user clicks on the * (new record) button in the navigation bar. ...

Hi, I need an event to fire off when someone clicks anyplace within a DataGridView row, but whether I use CellContentClick or CellClick, the event only fires off when clicking on the text within the row and not anyplace within the row.
