DataGridView interaction with LinkLabel and Button
Greetings all,
I have a very starnge one ...
If you're in a grid edit, with the cell empty and have validation to ensure that the field contains data, then trying to click on a button, outside of the grid, will cause the validation warning to pop up. However, if you click on a linklabel it allows this....
Is this normal? Is there a way I can change it so that the attempt to click on the linklabel will also cause the avlidation to kick in?
In advance, thanks!!!

I don't understand the interaction. Where is the Button and LinkLabel defined?
ASKER
Sorry ...
The LinlLable and Button are both outside of the grid.

What type of column are you working with in the DataGridView?
ASKER
Its a text column.
Can you attach a .png screen shot of what you mean?

Please c attached.
In the grid you will see that the bottom row (which was a n insert is indicating an error. Yet, we are able to click on the Delete linklable.

Ok, I see what you mean now. Why don't you disable the "Delete" LinkLabel when you are on the last row (which you know is the row where you add new records)?
ASKER
Could do that.
Similiar logic would apply to the Insert - disable when the user inserts and enable when they move off.
However, if the user edits a record and the edits is in error (deleted the text), I could then still click the Insert) which results in the unusual situation of a record in error (flagged) and an blank record, awaiting input.
