How do you catch the delete event on a datagrid

How do you catch the delete event on a datagrid

• Whitehorseq

  The Data Grid View FAQ here should answer your question -
  http://www.windowsforms.net/Default.aspx tabindex=5&tabid=60
  
  From the FAQ -
  "When the user selects a row in the DataGridView and hits the delete key, the UserDeletingRow event fires."

  Their is an event that is called when you hit the delete key to delete a selected row called  UserDeletingRow. 

  And then to get the row that being deleted

  int intRowIndex = e.Row.Index;      // Gets index of that row string strRowID = dgServers.Rows[intRowIndex].Cells[0].Value.ToString(); //retrieves Id field of the record if you have one to use in deleteing the record from your database.

  Great! It work...
  I need to add a true value into e.Cancel as below,
  
  e.Cancel = True
  
  Beside this, can you please teach me how to write the number (no.) in datagrid first column.
  I do not want to use database record's id. because it's not index from 1 to 10. Sometimes i would be 3,6,1,5,2,etc.
  
  In this kind of situation, what i think is to write a number in front of each row. Start from 1 until the last record. Do you know how to do that Or you may have any other better solution for it.
  
  Thanks...

  This seems like it ought to be a realy common problem. Surely someone out there has solved this issue.

  Try this Works for DataGridViews, not sure about DataGrids.

  Code Snippet

  Dim answer As Integer = MsgBox("Are you sure that, you want to delete this record ", MsgBoxStyle.YesNo, "PO System")
  If answer = vbYes Then
  MsgBox("Deleted.")

  ElseIf answer = vbNo Then

  e.Cancel

  End If

  It doesnt seem to fire. I tried putting a message box in it just to see if my logic was wrong but it didnt fire at all.

  Sorry, I left off the "= True" assignment; glad you caught that.
  
  I'm not sure I understand what you are looking to do as far as numbering the rows. If you want Row1 to have a value 1, Row2 to have a value 2, etc. then you could try something like:
  
  Form1.DataGridView1.Rows(rowIndex).Cells(0).Value = rowIndex + 1
  
  (+1 since the row indices are zero-based)
  
  If that's not what you mean, then please explain your expectations a bit more clearly.
