How to save the edited value into underlying data source while moving the current cell in WinForms GridGroupingControl?

Save the edited value to the data table

In the WinForms GridGroupingControl the edited cell value can be added to the data source by using ForceImmediateSaveValue property. If ForceImmediateSaveValue is set as true, then it immediately triggers a SaveValue event without first calling BeginEdit on the current record. So, the edited added to the data source immediately.

C#

//Used to update the cell value immediately upon changing the value.
this.gridGroupingControl1.TableDescriptor.Fields["ColumnName"].ForceImmediateSaveValue = true;
this.gridGroupingControl1.GetTableDescriptor("ChildTable").Fields["ColumnName"].ForceImmediateSaveValue = true;

VB

'Used to update the cell value immediately upon changing the value.
Me.gridGroupingControl1.TableDescriptor.Fields("ColumnName").ForceImmediateSaveValue = True
Me.gridGroupingControl1.GetTableDescriptor("ChildTable").Fields("ColumnName").ForceImmediateSaveValue = True

Samples:

C#: DataTableSaveValue_C#

VB: DataTableSaveValue_VB
