Winforms Clear Datagridviewcheckboxcell - winforms

I have a datagridview with a datagridviewcheckboxcolumn. I currently have this as a 3 state option so you get checked, unchecked and the filled square. For the 3rd state, I'd rather the cell be completely blank.
I've tried drawing fillrectangles over the box in the cellpainting event, but never could get that to look good.
Is there a way to hide the square all together so you'd see checked, unchecked, totally blank, as shown here:

ExtJS - RadioGroup shows two selected items except one

Dears,
I have implemented a pop-up window to be shown by clicking a trigger-button of a textbox, and it has a radioGroup in it. in some cases I have to check the radio based on user input.
The problem is that if I try to invoke radioGroup.setValue() before opening the popup once, I face with two selected items in radioGroup. The issue doesn't occur if open-close the popup before trying to set the checked radio.
Is it a rendering issue or something like that?!

Combobox List passing string

I have a VB6 application that has been running for quite sometime. Currently I'm trying to update one of the form that has a combobox 2.0. Because the combobox is populated with hundreds of items - I'm trying to update it so that users are able to click on a look up button next to it, where another window opens up with all the items from the combobox. User will be able to search by keyword and/or select an item and double click on it and have it appear in the combobox. The issue I'm having is with trying to pass no value or "" when CANCEL is clicked. I'm able to pass the value if I in the properties window my STYLE Is set to COMBO rather than list. However, the issue I come across is that with COMBO the value (text) in the combobox sometimes is not aligned properly. Is there a way to pass a "" value to a combobox 2.0 without changing the style to COMBO?
If they hit cancel set the ListIndex of your combo to -1 rather than setting the text property. This is the value for no item being selected.

How to remove focus from the Infragistics ultragrid cell when clicking outside?

I have an infragistics ultragrid control in a windows form. There is an 'Add New' button outside to insert new rows to the grid.
The problem I faced is, when I click the button outside the grid, while I'm editing a cell inside the grid, the cell doesn't lose focus. Because of this the edited new value is not updated to its underlying data source.
I need this cell to lose focus and update it's underlying data source, because the 'Add New' button creates a new row with this particular column having a default value which is calculated based on the previous row's edited value.
So any ideas on how to unfocus the ultragrid cell? This situation may apply to normal GridView also.
If your button is on a Toolbar, then the behavior you are seeing is expected because toolbars don't take focus. If this is the case before performing your logic you can use the PerformAction method of the grid and pass in UltraGridAction.CommitRow to force the row that was being editor to commit its updates.
For example:
this.ultraGrid1.PerformAction(UltraGridAction.CommitRow);
I used myUltraGrid.ActiveRow.Cells[0].Activate(); which also works. But the solution by #alhalama is better one I guess.

rowdeselect event can't fire to save data when it is in last row in Extjs EditorGridPanel

I am using EditorGridPanel with cellEditor which acts nearly like Excel. We implemented Arrow Keys to move among rows and
columns. We do row validation when user moves from one row to another (specifically in rowdeselect event) and then save the
record. There is some issues are:
For the last row of the grid, rowdeselect event does not fire, as we do not have any other control after the grid.
rowdeselect event fires if we move from row to row using Tab, Enter & Arrow keys. But when user clicks on another row using mouse - events do not come in correct sequence, so focus moves to the new row, but earlier row not saved. Currently we solved this by calling stopEditing at the beginning of rowdeselect event.
We would like to know how we can solve these two issues and whether there are more robust ways to handle automatic grid saving.
You can fill free to check the problem in our site. -> http://www.softworksbd.com/swazilandlmis/yyyy_stockdata.php
1 ) First of all the event is not firing on the blur of the whole grid and not just the last row. try changing a row and clicking anywhere on the screen but the grid and you will see that no validation takes place (which means your rowdselect does not fire).
You should try and add a blue event to the whole grid that runs your validation scripts.
2) As far as I have checked the event is fired even on another row click so please explain exactly what you mean...
ps
I have viewed only this page in your application:

silverlight combobox - highlight a few items in the popup list

I'm wondering if I can make fake sections in the popup menu:
The rule would be, if the 5th character of the displayed item is different from the 5th char of the previous item in the menu, it has to be highlighted
What do you think?
Thanks!
To achieve this would be a hack.
Normally the items that appear in the popup part of a combo box will be an instantiated data template, and each gets its own data item and has no clue or knowledge of the other items in the list, so you couldn't use a converter or anything else to achieve this behavior.
What you could do though is inject (attach) your own control into the popup part of the combo box, and take over the rendering of the data items. How you do this will depend upon which combo box you are using (i.e. MS or some other vendor's) and would be a whole new question.
Would that be easier if I were to create my own combobox as follow:
a TextBox associated with a Button that when pushed would popup a datagrid in which I could implement this conditional formatting?
