Why does the ComboBox control in WinForms not have a DataBindingComplete event like the DataGridView control?

I'm filling a Combobox from one DataSet with items to filter the DataGridView on. I got that working, but how do I tell when all the data bound items have finished loading into the ComboBox so I can then invoke the filter for the first time?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Solution 1

Using BindingSource you would be able to know when the binding is complete. You can register to BindingComplete event.

You can refer to the implementation here BindingSource.BindingComplete Event[^]
