Adding Row To DatagridView

[ShailaMohite]

Hi All,
In my application, i have a datagridview with 5 colums, at the form load the datagridview contains one row, I am showing a combobox in each of the 4 columns to select the values (i doesnot type any thing in that 4 columns), when i press tab the focus goes from column 4 to column 5.
Now when again i press tab the focus leaves the datagridview, but here i want that when i leave the column 5, there must be a row added.
How can i do that, can anyone help me on that?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Vidya

Not sure why your datagridview doesn't always have an unpopulated record shown. Check this code. As soon as you type anything in a cell, it will append a new unpopulated record/row to the end of the grid, which will again repeat as soon as you type anything in the new row...

You could also override the tab behavior of your form. In my case this DataGridView is databound to "dt" which is a datatable. You'll have to handle the adding of a new row depending on how you implemented the grid:

protected override bool ProcessTabKey(bool forward)
    {
      if (forward && (this.ActiveControl == dataGridView1)) //Stop it from advancing
      {
        DataRow row = dt.NewRow();
        dt.Rows.Add(row);
        int idx = dataGridView1.Rows.GetLastRow(DataGridViewElementStates.Visible);
        dataGridView1.Rows[idx].Selected = true;
        return false;
      }
      else
      {
        return base.ProcessTabKey(forward);
      }
    }

Thanks SKnake

But In DatagridView There Is No Datatable Please Give Me Answer

[sknake]

Is your grid databound to a DataTable, DataSet, etc? Or are you manually populating the rows?

The records are not fetched from database, only thing is that i want to add row on the cell leave event of the last column without writing any thing in any cell of the row. The data in first 4 columns are added by using combo boxes which i make visible on keypress of particular cell.

[sknake]

This should do the trick:

protected override bool ProcessTabKey(bool forward)
    {
      if (forward && (this.ActiveControl == dataGridView1)) //Stop it from advancing
      {
        int idx = dataGridView1.Rows.Add();
        dataGridView1.Rows[idx].Selected = true;
        return false;
      }
      else
      {
        return base.ProcessTabKey(forward);
      }
    }
