ExtraSection with editable textbox field not retaining value

[James Blibo]

I have a custom engine that adds a ExtraSection with textbox cells above the header. I want to populate the ExtraSection row to add status information above each column header based on certain logic in my code.

How can I write to specific cells of the ExtraSection row based on specific logic in my code. I also noticed that when I entered a value in the ExtraSection cell and tab away, the value disappear. Please help

Hi James,

Thank you for being patience.

The reason for the values not being stored is because the grid does not store any values that are being entered in the extra section. To store any values, an external table have to be maintain like hash table etc.

In the following sample, a gridcontrol is placed in the extra section. The grid cell has been made use of to store the values. Please refer to the following code snippet for more details.

Another way is to maintain hash table to store the values that are being entered in the text box of the extrasection.

Kindly let us know if you need any further assistance.
Have a nice day.

Best regards,

I place a button on the form and tried to write to some cells in the gridcontrol like this..

this.gridControl1[1, 5].Text = "5";
this.gridControl1[1, 6].Text = DateTime.Now.ToShortTimeString();
this.gridControl1.Refresh();

...but the value a does not show up until i physically click on the gridcontrol. How can I make the value immediately show up

Here's the sample. Click on the button to write some values dynamically to the embedded gridcontrol. The value is written to the gridcontrol cell but is not visible. Click on the extrasection that contains the gridcontrol and the value will now appear.

This sample doesn't work right, I removed the grouping at run time, and expanded one of the rows; the app immediatley crashes.

In any case; I was looking for ideas on how to add a combo box and a check box which actually retains it's value after a selection has been made.

I saw one example of a combobox; which didnt retain it's value.

I tried adding a check box, and it would not accept values.

If there is some documentation that I can read and understand the process better, then please post a link to that.

If not; I am hoping that you would provide me with a working example of a check box; combo box, user control in the extra section.
