Retrieving cell''s last contents

[Clario Menezes]

Hi,

Suppose I have a cell that''s displayed in a grouping grid, and it has the value ''a'' in it. Now the user comes along, clicks on the cell, types another value, ''b'', into the cell, and then either hits Enter or removes focus from that cell. What I''d like to be able to do is efficiently (memory-wise) store a and b in an object. I''ve tried using several TableControlCurrentCell events, and have looked at the TableControl property of the EventArgs parameters passed into the handlers, but can''t seem to find the right properties/methods I need to do this. Is there any way to get what I need without creating data structures that store old and new values, and without events that are raised with every key pressed while a cell has focus?

I would greatly appreciate any assistance.

Hi Clario,

try

TableControl.Table.CurrentRecordManager.Properties[fieldName].OriginalValue

and

TableControl.Table.CurrentRecordManager.Properties[fieldName].ModifiedValue

However, these properties are only available for the current record.

Thanks for the reply, Stefan. Is there no way to get a cell''s old an new contents, irrespective of where the focus moves to? If not, I think this would be a very useful feature to put into a future release.
