modifying how DataGridView works?

[moMoney2009]

just trying to make it so that whenever a user wants to add a row they can't do it by using the blank row at the bottom of a DataGridView. I want to make it only available by clicking a Button.

How do I disable the use of the bottom row concept? Or is it not possible?

Thanks

answered my own question. Found an event in DataGridView that I didn't notice before until I begun deriving a subclass of DataGridView.

CellBeginEdit

callback method of this event has a type, DataGridViewCellCancelArgs

example:

private void dataGridView1_RowBeginEdit(object sender, DataGridViewCellCancelArgs e)
{
   if (e.RowIndex >= dataGridView1.Rows.Count)
      e.Cancel = true;
   else
      e.Cancel = false;
}

The reasoning in the IF is that through some testing I figured out that even though the Blank Row is ready for editing it is not counted inside of the .Rows.Count property.
So if the row index is >= to the number of actual rows in the DGV then it MUST be the blank row that is being clicked.
