Question

I need to write a simple function that when the person enter number of boxes then keypress event fired and number of boxes*someamount get in to the amount column. I have added datagridview using drag and drop control

I think so code will be written here according to my research

private void dataGridView1_EditingControlShowing(object sender,
    DataGridViewEditingControlShowingEventArgs e) {

}

But i dont know how to put Keyup event and access column numberofboxes and Amount. Thanks

I’ve tested this and it works by using the key down event and multiples the NumberBoxes value by someAmount, each time you enter a new number in the cell it does the calculation for you automatically.

        public Form1()
    {
        InitializeComponent();
        MyDataGridViewInitializationMethod();
    }


    private void MyDataGridViewInitializationMethod()
    {

        dataGridView1.EditingControlShowing +=
    new DataGridViewEditingControlShowingEventHandler(dataGridView1_EditingControlShowing);
    }

    private void dataGridView1_EditingControlShowing(object sender, DataGridViewEditingControlShowingEventArgs e)
    {
        e.Control.KeyPress +=
            new KeyPressEventHandler(Control_KeyPress);
    }

    private void Control_KeyPress(object sender, KeyPressEventArgs e)
    {
        if (char.IsNumber(e.KeyChar))
        {

            string cellValue = Char.ToString(e.KeyChar);
            //Get the column and row position of the selected cell
            int column = dataGridView1.CurrentCellAddress.X;
            int row = dataGridView1.CurrentCellAddress.Y;

            if (column == 1)
            {
            //Gets the value that existings in that cell
            string test = dataGridView1[column, row].EditedFormattedValue.ToString();
            //combines current key press to the contents of the cell
            test = test + cellValue;
            int intNumberBoxes = Convert.ToInt32(test);
            //Some amount to mutiple the numberboxes by
            int someAmount = 10;
            dataGridView1[column + 1, row].Value = intNumberBoxes * someAmount;
            }
        }
    }


}
