DataGridView Unselectable Column I

Sometimes I think I’ve searched every forum/group/mail list/news on the Internet. A long time ago, I needed to make a something like an “unselectable column” for a DataGridView in Windows Forms.

I didn’t find anything proper at that time. So I got something to work.

However, that solution didn’t work at all. Sometimes, I got weird exceptions I could not capture because they were thrown in another thread which code I couldn’t see. Now, .NET Framework code has been released for documentation purposes, I might try debug it with Visual Studio. 2008.

Yesterday, I decided to re-engineer and improve this solution. So I search in Google and I find a MSDN forum post which looked promising. And when I finished reading it, I found this solution:

Msdn Forums' Post 

Yeah, the solution pointed back to my blog. So I didn’t find anything useful to improve my poor man’s solution.

So… I think I will have to develop my own DataGridView control. Won’t I?
