Try getting the CurrentRecordProperty with Table.CurrentRecordManager.Properties[fieldName].

Then you can set CurrentRecordProperty.Exception on that field. It should show up then in red with a error marker.

I''m confused...

Please see the attached sample app. I''m trying to set the (!) icon in the Shares column''s current cell after a user edits the cell, but I can''t get the error icon to appear!

If, however, I set the error to appear in another column (the Text column) when the user edits the Shares data, then the error does appear in the other column. (and then it only appears in the Shares cell when you click back into the shares cell)

Try commenting/uncommenting the following line...

e.TableControl.Table.CurrentRecordManager.Properties["Text"].Exception = new Exception("error");

Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi Eric,

Sorry for the inconvenience caused.

We are looking into this issue and get back to you very soon.

Thanks for your patience.

After thinking about it some, it seems like the error icon won''t be displayed until the cell is not it "edit mode". That is why the Text column''s error icon shows up (because it is not being edited). Then when you click in the Text column cell, the Shares column error icon shows up because now it is not being edited.

Here''s what I''m trying to do...

1. user edits cell
2. user leaves cell
3. display error icon in cell (under certain conditions), but allow user to move on to other cells.
4. Don''t display a message box error if cell doesn''t validate (only show error icon).

Thanks,

Eric

Don''t spend alot of time trying to figure out what''s going on. I coded up a work around which suits my needs perfectly (see attached). One of the things I liked about the exception icon, is that it appears right justified, and the text moves to the left. Any tips on how to achieve that? When running my sample app, you''ll need to change the icon path.

thanks!

Hi Eric,

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you.

You could get this working by handling the TableControlCellDrawn event and draw image in the error cell. Below is a code snippet:

private void grid_TableControlCellDrawn(object sender, GridTableControlDrawCellEventArgs e)
{
GridTableCellStyleInfo style = e.Inner.Style as GridTableCellStyleInfo;
if (style.TableCellIdentity.Column != null && e.Inner.Style.CellType == "Currency")
{

if (e.TableControl.Table.CurrentRecordManager.Properties[style.TableCellIdentity.Column.Name].IsError)
{
e.Inner.Cancel = true;
Console.WriteLine(style.TableCellIdentity.Column.Name);

// Highlight error column
Brush br = new SolidBrush(Color.FromArgb(64, Color.Red));
e.Inner.Graphics.FillRectangle(br, e.Inner.Bounds);
br.Dispose();

try
{
Rectangle iconBounds = Rectangle.FromLTRB(e.Inner.Bounds.Right - 15, e.Inner.Bounds.Top, e.Inner.Bounds.Right, e.Inner.Bounds.Bottom);
iconBounds.Offset(-2, 0);
IconPainter.PaintIcon(e.Inner.Graphics, iconBounds, Point.Empty, "SFERROR.BMP", Color.Red);
}
catch
{ }

Rectangle rect = e.Inner.Bounds;
rect.Size = new Size(rect.Width - 15, rect.Height);
e.Inner.Renderer.Draw(e.Inner.Graphics, rect, e.Inner.RowIndex, e.Inner.ColIndex, e.Inner.Style);

}
}
}

Refer the TestErrorProvider browser sample for drawing the icon in a cell.
