applying a mask to an editable cell

Hi....

I have an editable cell in a GGC. In QueryCellStyleInfo, I am trying to set a mask in order to limit the numeric value that a user can type into the cell. The numbers to be entered are share quantities. Positive whole numbers with no currency sign.

e.Style.ReadOnly = false;

e.Style.CellType = "Currency";
e.Style.CurrencyEdit.CurrencyDecimalDigits = 0;
e.Style.CurrencyEdit.CurrencySymbol = "";
GridMaskEditInfo mask = new GridMaskEditInfo();
mask.UsageMode = MaskedUsageMode.Numeric;
mask.Mask = "#,##0";
mask.MinValue = 0;
mask.MaxValue = 99999;
e.Style.MaskEdit = mask;

The above code doesn''t see to have any affect. I can still type in negative numbers and numbers larger than 99999.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks in advance!

Hi Eric,

The GridStyleInfo.MaskEdit properly is only used with the MaskEdit cell type. So you can change the e.Style.CellType property to "MaskEdit" in the QueryCellStyleInfo event.

e.Style.ReadOnly = false;

e.Style.CellType = "MaskEdit" ;

GridMaskEditInfo mask = new GridMaskEditInfo();
mask.UsageMode = MaskedUsageMode.Numeric;
mask.Mask = "#,##0";
mask.MinValue = 0;
mask.MaxValue = 99999;

e.Style.MaskEdit = mask;

Let me know if something like this will not work for you.
