User editable derived CellModel

i see the example in the samples for the GridLinkLable but none of the samples allow user editing If i have created a derived control (for example, i have an UpperCaseTextBox control which is a control that derives from Textbox and catched the keypress events and forces uppercase) can i use that as the grid cell ??

Hi Adam, Refer the sample in windows\Grid.Windows\Samples\In Depth\CellButtons that we ship. When you derive the GridTextBoxCellModel and the GridTextBoxCellRenderer your cell will behave as a TextBox Control. In the LinkLabelCells sample, the LinlLabelCell is derived from the GridStaticCellModel and the GridStaticCellRenderer which implements a static CellType. You cold try OriginalTextBox as CellType instead of deriving private void gridControl1_PrepareViewStyleInfo(object sender, GridPrepareViewStyleInfoEventArgs e) { if(e.RowIndex > 0 && e.ColIndex > 0) { e.Style.CellType = "OriginalTextBox"; e.Style.CharacterCasing = CharacterCasing.Upper; } } Let me know if this helps. Best regards, Stanley

i am trying to do this generically so other people can use my celltype. Because of this i dont want to do the coding in the querycell event handlers. I want to create an isolated new CellType that i can have other use without having to code up their own event handlers . . >Hi Adam, > >Refer the sample in windows\Grid.Windows\Samples\In Depth\CellButtons that we ship.

You can try creating a custom celltype to use your control. It will likely take some coding depending upone the exact functionality you want. Take a look at the Windows\Grid.Windows\Samples\CellTypes\Calendar sample. It shows teh steps needed to derive a custom scell type that wraps a MonthCalendar control. You coul dtry to do something similar with your control. Do a search for CellModels.Add in the Syncfusion\Essential Studio\3.3.0.0\Windows\Grid.Windows\Samples folder. It will show 18 or so different custom cell types that do various things if you need other samples. There is also a discusion of deriving cutom cellstyles in the User Guide that uses the LinkLabel cells as the basis for the discussion.
