Event when the user changes a cell, but doesn´t leave it

[Michael Witzik]

Hello,

I´m using a SfDataGrid with a DataTable as datasource. The user can edit the cell values. Now I´m searching for an event when the user changes a value in a date-column, but didn´t leave the cell. I have the following other cell-types:

- text-cell: I can use the "CurrentCellKeyUp" event to get the value the user typed in the cell

- combobox-cell: I can use the "CellComboBoxSelectionChanged" event to get the value, when the user changes a combobox inside a cell

- checkbox-cell: I can use the "CellCheckBoxClick" event to get the value of a checkbox the user clicks in a cell

- date-cell: I couldn´t find an event to get noticed, when the user changed the date.

"CurrentCellEndEdit" doesn´t work, as it only fires, after the user leaves the cell.

How to do it with a date-column and is there an easier way to get the value of the changed cell, before the user leaves it?

Thank you.

Michael

Hi Michael Witzik,

 

Thank you for using Syncfusion controls.

 

You can get the changed date in GridDateTimeColumn without leaving the cell by overriding OninitializedEditElement in GridDateTimeCellRenderer class like below. 

this.sfDataGrid1.CellRenderers.Remove("DateTime"); 

this.sfDataGrid1.CellRenderers.Add("DateTime", new GridDateTimeCellRenderersExt(sfDataGrid1)); 

public class GridDateTimeCellRenderersExt : GridDateTimeCellRenderer 

{ 

    SfDataGrid DataGrid { get; set; } 

    public GridDateTimeCellRenderersExt(SfDataGrid dataGrid) 

    { 

        this.DataGrid = dataGrid; 

    } 

    protected override void OnInitializeEditElement(DataColumnBase column, RowColumnIndex rowColumnIndex, SfDateTimeEdit uiElement) 

    { 

        base.OnInitializeEditElement(column, rowColumnIndex, uiElement); 

        uiElement.ValueChanged += UiElement_ValueChanged; 

    } 

 

    private void UiElement_ValueChanged(object sender, Syncfusion.WinForms.Input.Events.DateTimeValueChangedEventArgs e) 

    { 

        var changeddate = e.NewValue; 

        // You can get the changed date  

    } 

} 

We have prepared the sample for the same,
