DataGridView.RowsAdded Event

Definition

Occurs after a new row is added to the DataGridView.

public:
 event System::Windows::Forms::DataGridViewRowsAddedEventHandler ^ RowsAdded;
public event System.Windows.Forms.DataGridViewRowsAddedEventHandler RowsAdded;
public event System.Windows.Forms.DataGridViewRowsAddedEventHandler? RowsAdded;
member this.RowsAdded : System.Windows.Forms.DataGridViewRowsAddedEventHandler 
Public Custom Event RowsAdded As DataGridViewRowsAddedEventHandler 

Event Type

Examples

The following code example handles the RowsAdded event to increment the number of rows in a virtual DataGridView. The number of rows is used in the CellValueNeeded handler so it knows when to show a blank cell versus an initialized cell for a new row. This example is part of a larger example available in the VirtualMode reference topic.

    void VirtualConnector::dataGridView1_NewRowNeeded
        (Object^ sender, DataGridViewRowEventArgs^ e)
    {
        newRowNeeded = true;
    }

    void VirtualConnector::dataGridView1_RowsAdded
        (Object^ sender, DataGridViewRowsAddedEventArgs^ e)
    {
        if (newRowNeeded)
        {
            newRowNeeded = false;
            numberOfRows = numberOfRows + 1;
        }
    }

Remarks

Rows in the control are not automatically sorted when new rows are added. To sort new rows into their correct position, call the Sort method in a RowsAdded event handler.

When the user adds a new row using the row for new records, the DataGridViewRowsAddedEventArgs.RowIndex value in the handler for this event is equal to the index of the new location of the row for new records, which is one greater than the row just added. When you add rows programmatically, however, the RowIndex value is the index of the first row added.

In virtual mode, this event occurs before the CellValuePushed event and can be used to create new records in your data store that you can then populate in the CellValuePushed event handler.

For more information about how to handle events, see Handling and Raising Events.
