The NumericViewer can be used to view the content of cells which have a numeric datatype.
Using the NumericViewer
By default, the NumericViewer will be created as the CellViewerManager for all columns in the grid which have a numeric datatype.
The value displayed by the NumericViewer can be retrieved via the GetText method. The value will be returned as a string and formatted according to the cell's FormatProvider and FormatSpecifier properties.
If a CellViewerManager other than the NumericViewer is desired by default for columns which have a numeric datatype, the GridControl's CellViewerManagerMapping property can be modified. For example:
| VB.NET |  Copy Code |
|---|---|
GridControl1.CellViewerManagerMapping( GetType( Integer ) ) = New CustomNumericViewer() | |
| C# | Copy Code |
|---|---|
GridControl1.CellViewerManagerMapping( GetType( Integer ) ) = New CustomNumericViewer() | |
If a different CellViewerManager is required for only one column or cell, the CellViewerManager property of the specific column or cell can be set rather than changing the default CellViewerManager that is created for all numeric columns via the CellViewerManagerMapping property.
| VB.NET | Copy Code |
|---|---|
GridControl1.Columns( "Freight" ).CellViewerManager = New CustomNumericViewer() | |
| C# | Copy Code |
|---|---|
gridControl1.Columns[ "Freight" ].CellViewerManager = new CustomNumericViewer(); | |
Underlying control
The underlying control wrapped by the NumericViewer is the WinNumericTextBox control and is accessible through the Control property. All settings relating to the underlying control must be accessed via the Control property.
More information regarding the WinNumericTextBox control can be found in the WinNumericTextBox control topic.
