Custom Control - Event Handling

[Russell Coombes]

Hi,

I have written a custom user control that I have placed into a GridGroupingControl using classes that implement 'GridGenericControlCellRenderer' and 'GridGenericControlCellModel'. The user control is displaying correctly, but I wish to listen for events that have been raised from it. There are two types of button on my user control, each of which raises their own event. What is best practice for capturing an event from a custom user control that is placed into the GridGroupingControl?

Regards,
Russell

Hi Haneef,

Thanks for your reply - although I do not understand why you have you have sent me a link to another question that I had written that is completely unrelated to this topic!

The other message was related to capturing a grid cell event in order to resize the cell based on its contents.

My question here is:

How do I best handle the events raised from my custom control that are hosted within a grid?

Any information would be much appreciated.

Russell

Hi Russell,

Sorry for the inconvenience caused.

You can try this code snippet to handle the usercontrol's cell event .

CellRenderName cr = this. gridGroupingControl1.TableControl.CellRenderers["CellTypeName"] as CellRenderName;
if( cr != null )
{
UserControl1 uc = cr.Control as UserControl1;
if( uc != null )
{
foreach(Control c in uc.Controls)
{
if( c is ChildUserControl)
{
ChildUserControl cuc = c as ChildUserControl;
//You can handle you event here....
cuc.EventName += new EventHandler(method);
}
}
}
}

Hi Haneef,

Thanks for your quick reply.

I'd also like to know if it's possible for a custom user control placed in a grid is able to handle it's own events? For example, my UserControl has a button and a dropdown, and I would like each UserControl to be able to handle the click events for its button and drop-down without the grid taking over with the 'TableControlCellClick' event. Is this possible?

Hi Russell,

Please refer to the attached sample and let me know if this helps.

Hi Haneef,

I'm not sure that this sample does help me.

Firstly, I am using a GridGroupingControl, whilst the attached control is a GridDataBoundControl.

Secondly, I can see how the user control catches the event as set up on line 80 of the 'TwoTextBoxCell.cs'...but in my situation, my user control does not receive its 'Click' event because the Grid hides it with its own 'TableControlCellClick' event. Can you please explain how I can prevent this grid event from hiding my own UserControl's event?

Thanks!

Russell
