EditIndicator

[Doug Terrell]

We currently have a class derived from Syncfusion.Windows.Forms.Edit.EditIndicator. This class existed in 2.0.5 but no longer exists in 4.4. I believe we used it to "mark" a grid row being edited with an arrow, among other things. What is the recommended approach to replace it? I see that we can use the Legacy Edit, but we would rather not, since it will be phased out at some point in the future.

Thanks,
Doug

Hi Doug,

Our apologies for the delayed response. It is possible to use the Syncfusion.Windows.Forms.Edit.Implementation.BookmarksHelper class to draw custom bookmark's. I have attached a sample that illustrates this. Let me know if this meets your requirements.

Thanks for your patience.

Ebenezer - I am working with Doug on this problem. Our model currently is not event driven, but rather state driven where we change an image reference for an embedded EditIndicator inside a grid control based upon state transitions. Do you have anything that offers manual control? Is there a way to manually fire the bookmark event, assuming we could embed an EditControl instead? Thanks,

Louis

Hi Louis,

Our apologies for the delayed response. Could you please let me know if you would like to use the BookmarksHelper class without using the
EditControl. Also, please let me know if you would like to embed the EditControl inside a grid control.

Thanks for your patience.

Ebenezer - Currently i have decided to stick with the legacy Edit assembly knowing i will need to convert to the newer one in the future. What i need to be able to do at that time is replace using an EditIndicator inside a cell in a SyncFusion.Grid with something else. If i could use the BookmarksHelper class in its place (using custom images), without using an EditControl, then I believe that would suffice. The other alternative i see, although it would be more work, would be to embed the EditControl in the grid cells in place of the EditIndicator, and manually fire the BookmarksHelper events if there is a way for me to control their firing.

Ebenezer - Thanks. The sample looks somewhat similar to what we currently are doing. I will look at in the future when we decide to remove the usage of the legacy DLL. Thanks.
