Dynamically change row type

[Jay]

I need to create a two column grid. The first column will contain the field name, the second column will contain the data. Is it possible to set a different data type for different rows in the same column or would I have to make them all strings?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Jay,

To achieve this, you need to handle the QueryCellInfo event and set the CellValueType property of the cell (e.Style.CellValueType = typeof(int) ). Here is a minimal sample to implement this.

Hi,

So this means just before the user selects the second column to edit it''s value, setting the cellvalue in QueryCellInfo will change a textbox column to a monthcalender or dropdown, and they will function correctly?

Thx

Hi Jay,

The QueryCellInfo event is normally used to provide the GridStyleInfo object for a given cell. If the underlying datasource accepts, then ofcourse you can change the CellValueType and CellValues by handling this event. To know more about QueryCellInfo, you can take a look at
this documentation:

Let us know if you have any further queries.
