Find Filed for ColIndex, when having multi-row records

I was using ColIndexToField before in my code that determines the field under the current cell. Now I started using LayoutColumns method to make a long record span several lines. ColIndexToField is no use anymore, because it does not take RowIndex as a parameter, and thus cannot give me the proper Field name. Please advice, how do I figure out the Field name from an event, such as CurrentCellValidated or QueryCellInfo, when the only thing that is available to me is RowIndex and ColIndex. Thanks.

Hi Jeck, I think the following code should do it: GridBoundRecordState state = binder.GetRecordStateAtRowIndex(e.RowIndex); GridHierarchyLevel level = binder.GetHierarchyLevel(state.LevelIndex); fieldNum = level.RowFieldToField(state.row, fieldNum); GridBoundColumnsCollection columns = level.InternalColumns; if (fieldNum >= 0 && fieldNum < columns.Count) { GridBoundColumn columnStyle = columns[fieldNum]; } Stefan

Thanks! Works great! I think this is a nice topic for Knowledge Base. Few other people at our company were puzzled too. >Hi Jeck, > >I think the following code should do it: > > >GridBoundRecordState state = binder.GetRecordStateAtRowIndex(e.RowIndex); >GridHierarchyLevel level = binder.GetHierarchyLevel(state.LevelIndex); >fieldNum = level.RowFieldToField(state.row, fieldNum); >GridBoundColumnsCollection columns = level.InternalColumns; >if (fieldNum >= 0 && fieldNum < columns.Count) >{ > GridBoundColumn columnStyle = columns[fieldNum]; >} > > >Stefan > >
