Obtaining a dynamic reference to a cell

Question

Hi,

Is it possible to obtain a reference to a cell (styleinfo or range) that will always point to that cell even when it is moved around due to drag/drop or insertions/deletions?

I noticed that a GridStyleInfo has a CellIdentity but it does not update if you, for example, insert a row.  Is there a way to tell it to refresh?

Thanks.

The short answer is no, there is no support for this in GridStyleInfo.

If you want to try to do something like this, then the first comment is that you will either have to work with a non-virtual GridControl or you will have to manage a datastore of your choosing to track this information. The reason is that a non-virtual GridControl is the only grid that maintains a cell by cell datastore. With such a grid, you could initialize a style.Tag object that holds the row/column  information you are interested in for a particular cell.
