Thread: Data Grid View Button handling - Change button.text

Ok VB Gurus, I have a data grid view with 2 buttons, Start and End. Upon clicking the button, I want to change the button.text with a time stamp. I know how to create a time stamp, but I can't figure out how to change the text from "Start" to say for example "9:21 PM" Can anyone help? I hope I was clear enough.

So far I have:
If e.ColumnIndex <> 1 Then
The code to change the button.text, I am assuming would go here.
Dim tm As System.DateTime
tm = Now

How do you normally change what is contained in a cell in a DataGridView?

Well, as of right now I have it set through the datagriview properties. But I want to manually change it with code after the buttonclick, It is very easy outside of a datagridview; I just can't figure out the syntax to do it inside of it.

You didn't answer my question.

How would I normally do it? I suppose I would type right in it, do you understand why what isn't possible in this case?

I'm not talking about you the user. I'm talking about you the programmer. How would you change the contents of a cell in a DataGridView in code?

That is exactly what I am trying to figure out, I can not seem to find any kind of syntax examples to do this.

I clearly understand how to do it with e textbox - txtTextbox.Text = ... But I am struggling with this because of the rows and columns.

DataGridView.Item Property (Int32, Int32) (System.Windows.Forms)

I'm not sure you're actually trying to answer the question I asked. To change the contents of any cell you set its Value property. That's the question I asked, not how to get a reference to the cell in the first place. JohnH has now answered that question too.
