GetCellEditorContext Method

Gets the value of the CellEditorContext attached property for the specified dependency object.

Syntax

Visual Basic
C#

'Declaration
 
Public Shared Function GetCellEditorContext( _
   ByVal obj As DependencyObject _
) As CellEditorContext

'Usage
 
Dim obj As DependencyObject
Dim value As CellEditorContext
 
value = Cell.GetCellEditorContext(obj)

public static CellEditorContext GetCellEditorContext( 
   DependencyObject obj
)

Parameters

obj: The dependency object form which the property value is read.

Return Value

The CellEditorContext property value for the dependency object.

Remarks

Whether a foreign key constraint or enum is automatically detected or manually provided, the end result is that a ComboBox is used to edit the content of the corresponding cell unless a cell editor has been explicitly provided, in which case, the provided cell editor will be used. Cell editors that are created to edit foreign key constraints can access information about their parent column, such as the CellContentTemplate to use, through the CellEditorContext attached property (see Example).
