VB.Net - datagridview buttoncell how to make button not visible conditionally

Asked by keningram in Microsoft Visual Basic.Net

Tags: datagridview, button, visible

I working on a VB.Net Windows Form application in VS 2008. It has a datagridview control with a DataGridViewButtonColumn.  I want the button to be visible in some cases and not visible in others. I tried the code below and it gives me an error stating that the Visible property is ReadOnly.  What am I doing wrong?

Thanks,

Private Sub dgMessages_CellPainting(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.DataGridViewCellPaintingEventArgs) Handles dgMessages.CellPainting
        If e.RowIndex > -1 Then
            If (dgMessages.Rows(e.RowIndex).Cells("Comment1").Value.Equals("")) And (e.ColumnIndex = 4) Then
                Dim buttonCell As DataGridViewButtonCell = CType(dgMessages.Rows(e.RowIndex).Cells("Comments"), DataGridViewButtonCell)
                buttonCell.Visible = False ' This is where I get the ReadOnly error
            End If
        End If
    End Sub
