I have an unbound DataGridView with a DataGridViewCheckBoxColumn as column
2(configured in the designer). How would I programatically set the checkbox
state in, say, row 3 column 2?

I need to do this in two contexts. One is to make Checked the default in
this column when rows are created (the RowsAdded event might help me here,
although I suspect not for the first row). The other context is to
check/uncheck a checkbox in an existing row.

As you might guess I am new to this. Any help greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Bill.

Hi Bill,

To set the checkbox value in DataGridView programatically, you can set the
value of that cell directly. For example, you need to set the checkbox
Checked in row 3 col 2, you can use

this.dataGridView1.Rows[3].Cells[2].Value = true;

As far as I know, we cannot set the default value for the column in the
DataGridView if it is not unbound. Have to set the value for that column in
each row added with a line of code like above.

HTH.

i'm having teh same issue :( anyone know what might be happening? i'm
setting the value of the cell as with the webform example above, but in
winform, doesn't seem to work. i can set the value, and retrieve it, but the
GUI doesn't reflect the changes. i believe my TrueValue and FalseValue are
set up correctly as well...anyone know what i may be missing?

Thanks!
