Looking at this MSDN Forum Posting it suggests comparing the Cell’s value with Cell.TrueValue.
So going by its example your code should looks something like this:(this is completely untested)
Edit: it seems that the Default for Cell.TrueValue for an Unbound DataGridViewCheckBox is null you will need to set it in the Column definition.
private void chkItems_CheckedChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
foreach (DataGridViewRow row in dataGridView1.Rows)
{
DataGridViewCheckBoxCell chk = (DataGridViewCheckBoxCell)row.Cells[1];
if (chk.Value == chk.TrueValue)
{
chk.Value = chk.FalseValue;
}
else
{
chk.Value = chk.TrueValue;
}
}
}
This code is working note setting the TrueValue and FalseValue in the Constructor plus also checking for null:
public partial class Form1 : Form
{
public Form1()
{
InitializeComponent();
DataGridViewCheckBoxColumn CheckboxColumn = new DataGridViewCheckBoxColumn();
CheckboxColumn.TrueValue = true;
CheckboxColumn.FalseValue = false;
CheckboxColumn.Width = 100;
dataGridView1.Columns.Add(CheckboxColumn);
dataGridView1.Rows.Add(4);
}
private void chkItems_CheckedChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
foreach (DataGridViewRow row in dataGridView1.Rows)
{
DataGridViewCheckBoxCell chk = (DataGridViewCheckBoxCell)row.Cells[0];
if (chk.Value == chk.FalseValue || chk.Value == null)
{
chk.Value = chk.TrueValue;
}
else
{
chk.Value = chk.FalseValue;
}
}
dataGridView1.EndEdit();
}
}
