DGV editing on a row that is removed

[robertybob]

Hi,

Could anyone let me know the etiquette/error-handling for the following situation?

I have a DGV with rows that are liable to be removed via a call to a third party data source. There is a possibility that a cell will be in the process of being edited when the row is removed. This tends to cause havoc with the EndEdit handler as it doesn't get called.

I have tried to deal with it by checking if the row about to be removed is the CurrentRow.Index and then forcing an EndEdit but this seems to cause other issues - possibly because the Index changes etc.

So - is there any proven method of safely losing a row without warning that has the cursor within it?

Thanks in advance.

I'm not exactly sure how your system is setup, but is it possible that you get a row count in your data source prior to "updating" the record? And if the row count doesn't match then just complete a DGV.Refresh() when trying to submit the change?

Hi Luk3r,

Thanks for the reply. The DGV updates itself fine - there's just a possible conflict if editing starts on a cell and doesn't get finished before that row is removed. there's a procedure on EditStart and one on EditEnd but if the row disappears before the editing is complete the the EditEnd can't run.

All the best
