DataGridView: Disable Cell Editing on Click or Keystroke, Enable Cell Editing only on Double Click

Question

I am display some data in DataGridiView.

By default cell edit is enabled on keystroke or on click, I want to disable it.

I want the cell value to be edited only on double click.

How do I achieve this?

Answer 1

Set the EditMode property of your DataGridView to EditProgrammatically. This makes editing begins only when the BeginEdit method is called.

Then handle CellDoubleClick event and call BeginEdit.

private void dataGridView1_CellDoubleClick(object sender, DataGridViewCellEventArgs e)
{
    dataGridView1.BeginEdit(true);
}
