How to visit the invisible column

[ssailor]

I have a datagridview filled with data from an external table.
I store the Key field in the first column and make it invisible.
But I want to visit this invisible column to get the Key data when
I double-click a selected row. How can i do? Thanks in advance.

Re: How to visit the invisible column

Try code like:

Dim key as Object = dataGridView1(" HiddenColName",
e.RowIndex).Val ue

This assumes you hide the column using

dataGridView1.C olumns("HiddenC olName").Visibl e = False

Re: How to visit the invisible column

ssailor,

When you click on a cell, it should raise a CellClick event.
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/lib...cellclick.aspx

From this event handler, you can get to the row, and then pull the cells by
index.

Private Sub dataGridView1_C ellClick(ByVal sender As Object, _
ByVal e As DataGridViewCel lEventArgs) _
Handles dataGridView1.C ellClick

If turn.Text.Equal s(gameOverStrin g) Then Return

Dim cell As DataGridViewIma geCell = _
CType(dataGridV iew1.Rows(e.Row Index). _
Cells(e.ColumnI ndex), DataGridViewIma geCell)
If (cell.Value Is blank) Then
If IsOsTurn() Then
cell.Value = o
Else
cell.Value = x
End If
ToggleTurn()
ToolTip(e)
End If
If IsAWin() Then
turn.Text = gameOverString
End If
End Sub

Hope this helps,


Steve
