GridTextColumn in sfDataGrid - limit max input length

Question

Hi.I'm using sfDataGrid control which has several columns (GridTextColumn). How to limit input text length in these columns? Each column has different max length in database, so the user should not be able to enter longer text in corresponding columns in datagrid.Regards,Chris

Hi Chris, 

Thanks for contacting Syncfusion support.  

You can set maximum length for the GridTextColumn by creating a custom renderer as shown in the following code example.  

Code example :  





public Form1() 
{ 
    InitializeComponent(); 
    sfDataGrid1.DataSource = new OrderInfoCollection().OrdersListDetails; 
 
    this.sfDataGrid1.CellRenderers["TextBox"] = new GridTextBoxCellRendererExt(); 
} 
 
 
public class GridTextBoxCellRendererExt : GridTextBoxCellRenderer 
{ 
    protected override void OnInitializeEditElement(DataColumnBase column, RowColumnIndex rowColumnIndex, TextBox uiElement) 
    { 
        base.OnInitializeEditElement(column, rowColumnIndex, uiElement); 
 
        uiElement.MaxLength = 5; 
    } 
}
