is it possible to make a combobox not visible on a certain row in a gridview?

Question

I was wondering if its possible to make a single comboBox not visible or disabled for only that certain row?

right now I have something like

private void gvAirSegment_CellContentClick(object sender, DataGridViewCellEventArgs e)
    {
        if (e.ColumnIndex+1 == gvAirSegment.Columns["RemarkLine"].Index)
        {
            if (!gvAirSegment.CurrentCell.Selected)
            {
                gvAirSegment.Columns[2].Visible = true;
            }
            else
            {
                gvAirSegment.Columns[2].Visible = false;
            }
        }
    }

which on click of a checkbox it hides the entire column, but I would like it so only that combobox is not visible/disabled.

If I could get the control that would be the best, if I could turn it into a GridViewComboBox into a comboBox control

Thanks

Answer 1

You can assign a new instance of the base class DataGridViewCell to the appropriate column and row for any cell you would like to hide from the user:

gvAirSegment.Rows[row].Cells[col] = new DataGridViewCell();

Don't forget to assign a Value, as overwriting the cell will destroy the stored value.

This technique probably won't work if the DataGridView is bound to a data source, or running in virtual mode.

Answer 2

Because the combobox is tied to the cell type, you can't really hide it without hiding the whole cell, if I understand your question. You can, however, set the control to be read-only.

gvAirSegment.Rows[e.RowIndex].Cells[2].ReadOnly = true;
