Gets or sets a value indicating whether ternary mode has been enabled for the hosted check box control.

public:
 property bool ThreeState { bool get(); void set(bool value); };

public bool ThreeState { get; set; }

member this.ThreeState : bool with get, set

Public Property ThreeState As Boolean

Property Value

Boolean

true if ternary mode is enabled; false if binary mode is enabled. The default is false.

Examples

The following code example uses a DataGridViewCheckBoxCell to track the status of office lighting. The FalseValue property associates "turnedOff" with false, the TrueValue property associates "turnedOn" with true, and the IndeterminateValue property associates "unknown" to indeterminate.

Remarks

The third state in ternary mode typically represents an uninitialized or indeterminate value.

Setting the ThreeState property of the owning column also sets the ThreeState property of every cell in the column and refreshes the column display. To override the specified value for individual cells, set the cell values after you set the column value.

Unlike the column ThreeState property, the cell ThreeState property does not automatically update the NullValue property of the associated cell style when you change its value. When you change the cell ThreeState property value to true, be sure to set the NullValue property of the object returned by the Style property to Indeterminate. When you change the ThreeState property value to false, be sure to set the NullValue property to false.
