Question

I am just wondering if it is possible to have a button in a buttonfield within a gridview to complete several things with the same click. Specifically, I’m trying to have the button enable edit mode, change a column of the gridview from a 0 to a 1 (basically just checking a box in numeric form rather than clicking the actual button) and then apply the changes like an update function button would do.

You can fake it by having multiple button on top of each other and only showing one at a time.

Or have a single button with a variable stating the state of the button.

Enum ButtonStateEnum
    EnableEdit
    ChangeColumn
    DoSave
End Enum

Private _state As ButtonStateEnum = ButtonStateEnum.EnableEdit

Private Sub Button1_Click(sender As System.Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click

    Select Case _state
        Case ButtonStateEnum.EnableEdit
            ' ...
            _state = ButtonStateEnum.ChangeColumn
        Case ButtonStateEnum.ChangeColumn
            ' ...
            _state = ButtonStateEnum.DoSave
        Case ButtonStateEnum.DoSave
            ' ...
            _state = ButtonStateEnum.EnableEdit
    End Select

End Sub
