DataGridView.CancelEdit() doesn’t.

According to the documenatation,  DataGridView.CancelEdit()

“Cancels edit mode for the currently selected cell and discards any changes.”

Why then, does DataGridView.CurrentCell.IsInEditMode return true after CancelEdit() has been invoked?

To see this, create a simple Win App with a unbound DataGridView (dgv1) and a button (button1).

Add the following code.

privatevoid Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)

{

dgv1.EditMode = DataGridViewEditMode.EditProgrammatically;

      dgv1.ColumnCount = 3;

      dgv1.RowCount = 3;

}

privatevoid button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)

{

dgv1.CurrentCell = dgv1[0, 0];

      dgv1.BeginEdit(true);       

      Debug.WriteLine("Status: " + dgv1.CurrentCell.IsInEditMode);

      if (dgv1.CancelEdit())

            Debug.WriteLine("CancelEdit() successful”);

      else

            Debug.WriteLine("CancelEdit() failed”);

      Debug.WriteLine("Status: " + dgv1.CurrentCell.IsInEditMode); //(*)

      dgv1.EndEdit();

      Debug.WriteLine("Status: " + dgv1.CurrentCell.IsInEditMode);

}

The output is

Edit mode: True

CancelEdit() successful

Edit mode: True           //(*)

Edit mode: False

After executing the line marked (*) the cell should not be in edit mode, but ..::IsInEditMode returns true.  It’s not until we execute EndEdit() that IsInEditMode returns false.

Is this a bug or have I got hold of the wrong end of the stick?

Thanks
