User controls in grid

[Hanna]

I have some problems using an essential grid with user controls.
1. Controls don't look like they must. For example buttons are white colored and have flat style. But all must look like no grids on form but only controls.
2. When cell is activated and the control in cell become focused other cells moving down some pixels so little white spaces betweeen borders appear.

Hi Hanna,

If you want to host this control in a single grid cell, then you can do this by setting the celltype of the cell to be a control and then set the control that you want the cell to be associated with. Below is the code.

this.gridControl1[2,2].CellType = "Control";
this.gridControl1[2,2].Control = userControl1;

If you want to have this control in several cells, then you will have to create a custom celltype deriving the control. It requires a model class and a renderer class. The model class handles the serialization requirements for the control and creates the renderer class. The renderer class handles the UI requirements of the cell.

Please refer the DerivedCellControlTutorial sample in the browser samples for more details.
