Another goofy datagrid issue

Posted this in the WindowsForms.Controls forum and got zero reponses (maybe
they don't use the datagrid over there) ....

If I create a datagrid column with Format set to "c", I've noticed that
currency changes within the cell are not retained IN THE GRID upon leaving
the cell. Anyone have a workaround?

What you think that it should do. Do you want to change the currency and it
should automaticly recalculate the value in Euros to Zlottys. The format is
a property which tells how a value should be *showed* accoording to the
system globalization settings of that. Nothing more.

Be aware that a cell in a datagrid will keep the typed in value as long as
there is no rowchange.

I hope this helps,

Thanks Cor. I believe it was a rowchange.
