Add Class file in your project and Inherit it From DataGridViewColumn
Make CalendarCell Class your main class because we will use more than one class in this File
Public Sub New()
MyBase.New(New CalendarCell())
End Sub
Override CellTemplate property So then we can set Cell in data Grid View.
Public Overrides Property CellTemplate() As DataGridViewCell
Get
Return MyBase.CellTemplate
End Get
Set(ByVal value As DataGridViewCell)
' Ensure that the cell used for the template is a CalendarCell.
If Not (value Is Nothing) AndAlso _
Not value.GetType().IsAssignableFrom(GetType(CalendarCell)) _
Then
Throw New InvalidCastException("Must be a CalendarCell")
End If
MyBase.CellTemplate = value
End Set
End Property
End Class
Public Class CalendarCell
Inherits DataGridViewTextBoxCell
Public Sub New()
' Use the short date format.
Me.Style.Format = "d"
End Sub
Public Overrides Sub InitializeEditingControl(ByVal rowIndex As Integer, _
ByVal initialFormattedValue As Object, _
ByVal dataGridViewCellStyle As DataGridViewCellStyle)
' Set the value of the editing control to the current cell value.
MyBase.InitializeEditingControl(rowIndex, initialFormattedValue, _
dataGridViewCellStyle)
Dim ctl As CalendarEditingControl = _
CType(DataGridView.EditingControl, CalendarEditingControl)
If Not Me.Value Is DBNull.Value Then
If Not Me.Value Is Nothing Then
ctl.Value = CType(Me.Value, DateTime)
End If
End If
End Sub
Public Overrides ReadOnly Property EditType() As Type
Get
' Return the type of the editing contol that CalendarCell uses.
Return GetType(CalendarEditingControl)
End Get
End Property
Public Overrides ReadOnly Property ValueType() As Type
Get
' Return the type of the value that CalendarCell contains.
Return GetType(DateTime)
End Get
End Property
End Class
Inheri Datetime Picker with class CalendarEditingControl
Class CalendarEditingControl
Inherits DateTimePicker
Implements IDataGridViewEditingControl
Private dataGridViewControl As DataGridView
Private valueIsChanged As Boolean = False
Private rowIndexNum As Integer
Public Sub New()
Me.Format = DateTimePickerFormat.Short
End Sub
Set Date format of Datetime
Public Property EditingControlFormattedValue() As Object _
Implements IDataGridViewEditingControl.EditingControlFormattedValue
Get
Return Me.Value.ToShortDateString()
End Get
Set(ByVal value As Object)
If TypeOf value Is [String] Then
Me.Value = DateTime.Parse(CStr(value))
End If
End Set
End Property
Get Datetime value from Control
Public Function GetEditingControlFormattedValue(ByVal context _
As DataGridViewDataErrorContexts) As Object _
Implements IDataGridViewEditingControl.GetEditingControlFormattedValue
Return Me.Value.ToShortDateString()
End Function
Set datagrid Cell style In which you want to Get datetime pickre
Public Sub ApplyCellStyleToEditingControl(ByVal dataGridViewCellStyle As _
DataGridViewCellStyle) _
Implements IDataGridViewEditingControl.ApplyCellStyleToEditingControl
Me.Font = dataGridViewCellStyle.Font
Me.CalendarForeColor = dataGridViewCellStyle.ForeColor
Me.CalendarMonthBackground = dataGridViewCellStyle.BackColor
End Sub
Get Row index of Datagrid view in which you are using datetime picker
Public Property EditingControlRowIndex() As Integer _
Implements IDataGridViewEditingControl.EditingControlRowIndex
Get
Return rowIndexNum
End Get
Set(ByVal value As Integer)
rowIndexNum = value
End Set
End Property
Set input keys functionality
Public Function EditingControlWantsInputKey(ByVal key As Keys, _
ByVal dataGridViewWantsInputKey As Boolean) As Boolean _
Implements IDataGridViewEditingControl.EditingControlWantsInputKey
' Let the DateTimePicker handle the keys listed.
Select Case key And Keys.KeyCode
Case Keys.Left, Keys.Up, Keys.Down, Keys.Right, _
Keys.Home, Keys.End, Keys.PageDown, Keys.PageUp
Return True
Case Else
Return False
End Select
End Function
Set edited value in Datagrid cell
Public Property EditingControlDataGridView() As DataGridView _
Implements IDataGridViewEditingControl.EditingControlDataGridView
Get
Return dataGridViewControl
End Get
Set(ByVal value As DataGridView)
dataGridViewControl = value
End Set
End Property
Set edited value in value change
Public Property EditingControlValueChanged() As Boolean _
Implements IDataGridViewEditingControl.EditingControlValueChanged
Get
Return valueIsChanged
End Get
Set(ByVal value As Boolean)
valueIsChanged = value
End Set
End Property
Set Cursor
Public ReadOnly Property EditingControlCursor() As Cursor _
Implements IDataGridViewEditingControl.EditingPanelCursor
Get
Return MyBase.Cursor
End Get
End Property
And at last you will find this Cell type in your datagridview as Columntype property.
