Cannot increase row count inside celleditcomplete handler

[Darryl Mataya]

We have a class inherited from Grid.Gridcontrol that automatically adds and removes rows based on other events. In one case, when we increase the rowcount (Me.RowCount +=1) it fails to do so. It actually appears to increase it immediately in the debugger, but once we leave the method the rowcount resorts to its prior value. In the case that does this, we are calling our add method that does this from within a handler for CurrentCellEditingComplete. Is this perhaps why the rowcount increase doesn't work here, and then of course what would be a good workaround?

The problem is that in the CurrentCellEditingComplete event, the current cell is in the state of deactivating. This poses a problem if you try to increase the row count at this point, because that initiates another deactivating call.

One work around available in Version 1.5 is to lock the currentcell while you increase the rowcount. This will avoid the second deactivating call.

private void gridControl1_CurrentCellEditingComplete(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
	GridCurrentCell cc = this.gridControl1.CurrentCell;
	cc.Lock();
	this.gridControl1.RowCount++;
	cc.Unlock();
}

That did it. Thanks Clay.
