Vista - dataGridView CellContentClick fires after CellDoubleClick

I have a bound DataGridView control and in the CellDoubleClick event of a
column set as DataGridLinkColumn I add content to the underlying databound
item of a new row. If the text that is added is long enough to be in the
coordinates where the user double clicked the CellContentClick fires after
the CellDoubleClick event returns. Is this expected behavior? Is there a way
to prevent the CellContentClick from firing after content is added? I am
using .NET 2.0

Hi,

Thank you for using Microsoft Managed Newsgroup Service, it's my pleasure
to work with you on this issue.

As I understand, you have a DataGridView control which is data bound, one
of its columns is a DataGridViewLinkColumn. And you handle the
CellDoubleClick event, in the event handler, you add content for the
current row, and you found if the content in the DataGridViewLinkCell is
long enough to be in the place where the user double clicks, the
CellContentClick event fires as well.

I try to reproduce this problem with the following code, when I double
click on the DataGridViewLinkCell, the CellDoubleClick event fires and
content is added to the cell, but the CellContentClick event does not fire.

private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
DataTable dt = new DataTable();
dt.Columns.Add("c1", typeof(int));
dt.Columns.Add("c2");
for (int j = 0; j < 50; j++)
{
dt.Rows.Add(j, "");
}

this.dataGridView1.DataSource = dt;

DataGridViewLinkColumn linkCol = new DataGridViewLinkColumn();
linkCol.DataPropertyName = "c2";
this.dataGridView1.Columns.Add(linkCol);

this.dataGridView1.CellDoubleClick += new
DataGridViewCellEventHandler(dataGridView1_CellDoubleClick);
this.dataGridView1.CellContentClick += new
DataGridViewCellEventHandler(dataGridView1_CellContentClick);
}

void dataGridView1_CellContentClick(object sender,
DataGridViewCellEventArgs e)
{
Console.WriteLine("Cell Content");
}

void dataGridView1_CellDoubleClick(object sender,
DataGridViewCellEventArgs e)
{
Console.WriteLine("Cell double");

if (e.ColumnIndex == 2)
{
DataRowView drv =
this.dataGridView1.CurrentRow.DataBoundItem as DataRowView;
drv["c2"] =
"asccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccc";
}
}

If I misunderstand you, please let me know. I look forward to your reply.

Hi,

I have received your sample code via email. I notice that you use
Form.ShowDialog() method to display the form, this method create a modal
dialog, a modal dialog runs its own message loop and would disrupt the
application's main message loop. To avoid this behavior, you can call the
Form.Show() method instead to display a modeless dialog.

However, If the main form should be disabled when displaying the new form,
you can use a modeless dialog box to simulate a modal dialog box. To do
this, disable the application's main form first, then calling the
Form.Show() method to display the new form, and enabling the form when the
new form closed. This approach causes the normal message processing
sequence to be followed, so the CellContentClick event won't fire in this
scenario. For example:

void dataGridView1_CellDoubleClick(object sender,
DataGridViewCellEventArgs e)
{
Console.WriteLine("Cell double");

this.Enabled = false;
Form f = new Form();
f.FormClosed += new FormClosedEventHandler(f_FormClosed);
f.Show();

if (e.ColumnIndex == 2)
{
DataRowView drv =
this.dataGridView1.CurrentRow.DataBoundItem as DataRowView;
drv["c2"] =
"cccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccc";
}

}

void f_FormClosed(object sender, FormClosedEventArgs e)
{
this.Enabled = true;
}


Please try my suggestion and let me know whether it makes sense to you. If
you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to feed back.

Have a nice day!

Thank you for you response
I tried your workaround, while this is OK in a simple example in a real
application I need to get the DialogResult value back from the form. I can’t
do that with this workaround. I need to show the form as a modal dialog.
Why is the CellContentClick event firing if there is no content in the cell
when the user clicks it? Is this a bug? I need a solution that works with a
modal dialog.

Hi,

I'm glad to hear that my workaround worked!

I've checked this problem with our developers, they said that it's not
recommend to open a dialog especially a modal dialog in the CellDoubleClick
event as it would mess up the message chain, this is currently by design.
However, for the time being, if you find it's necessary to open a modal
dialog in CellDoubleClick event, you can use my workaround.

If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to let me
know, I will be happy of assistance. Have a splendid day!
