Using the EnteringEdit event

The EnteringEdit event is raised before editing a cell. It provides the possibility to prevent the cell from being edited and to change the CellEditorManager that will be used to edit the cell.

Basic steps - C#

To subscribe to the EnteringEdit event, the following steps must be performed:

Obtain a reference to a Cell object.
Subscribe to the EnteringEdit event of the Cell object using the EnteringEditEventHandler delegate class
Create a new method that will handle the events that are raised.
Place the desired code in the newly created event handler.

Basic steps - VB.NET

To subscribe to the EnteringEdit event, the following steps must be performed:

Obtain a reference to a Cell object.
Subscribe to the EnteringEdit event of the Cell object using the AddHandler/AddressOf keywords.
Create a new method that will handle the events that are raised.
Place the desired code in the newly created event handler.

Demonstration

This example assumes that you are in a Windows application.

VB.NET	Copy Code
Imports Xceed.Grid Dim cell As Cell For Each cell in gridControl1.DataRowTempate.Cells AddHandler cell.EnteringEdit, AddressOf Me.cell_EnteringEdit Next cell Private Sub cell_EnteringEdit( ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EnteringEditEventArgs ) Try If sender.ParentColumn.DataType = TypeOf( String ) Then e.CellEditorManager = New Xceed.Grid.Editors.TextEditor() End If Catch exception As Exception MessageBox.Show( exception.ToString() ) End Try End Sub ' If you no longer wish to handle the EnteringEdit events that are raised, ' you can unsubscribe from the event notification by doing the following: RemoveHandler cell.EnteringEdit, AddressOf Me.cell_EnteringEdit

VB.NET

Copy Code

Imports Xceed.Grid

Dim cell As Cell

For Each cell in gridControl1.DataRowTempate.Cells

  AddHandler cell.EnteringEdit, AddressOf Me.cell_EnteringEdit

Next cell

Private Sub cell_EnteringEdit( ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EnteringEditEventArgs )

  Try

    If sender.ParentColumn.DataType = TypeOf( String ) Then

      e.CellEditorManager = New Xceed.Grid.Editors.TextEditor()

    End If

  Catch exception As Exception

    MessageBox.Show( exception.ToString() )

  End Try

End Sub

' If you no longer wish to handle the EnteringEdit events that are raised,

' you can unsubscribe from the event notification by doing the following:

RemoveHandler cell.EnteringEdit, AddressOf Me.cell_EnteringEdit

C#	Copy Code

Copy Code
