Date Validation Failure

[Administrator]

Hi,

I'm currently trying to handle date validation within a cell and when validation fails the focus doesn't seem to set back to the cell properly.

If you see in the attached project when an invalid date is entered, for example 6/ , a message box is displayed. I'd like for the cursor to be placed back in the cell and the user to be able to type again. Right now we're forced to click the cell again in order to enable editting.

I have also tried handling the TableControlCurrentCellConfirmChangesFailed event to call BeginEdit(true); on the cell but this does not work.

Hi Paulo,

Our apologies for the delay in response.

You can handle the CurrentCellValidating event and use the MoveTo method to activate the currentcell. Here is a code snippet

private void gridGroupingControl1_TableControlCurrentCellValidating( object sender, Syncfusion.Windows.Forms.Grid.Grouping.GridTableControlCancelEventArgs e )
{
if ( e.TableControl.CurrentCell.Renderer.StyleInfo.CellValueType == typeof( DateTime ) )
{
object cellVal = e.TableControl.CurrentCell.Renderer.ControlValue;
string cellText = e.TableControl.CurrentCell.Renderer.ControlText;

if ( ( cellVal == null )
&& ( ( cellText != String.Empty )
|| ( cellText != null ) ) )
{
MessageBox.Show( "error" );
e.Inner.Cancel = true;
int row = e.TableControl.CurrentCell.RowIndex;
int col = e.TableControl.CurrentCell.ColIndex;
e.TableControl.CurrentCell.MoveTo(row, col, GridSetCurrentCellOptions.SetFocus);

}
}
}
