GDBG: Error Icon instead of messagebox

[Richard Bysouth]

Hi

I've been trying to get the sample code from your KB working:
http://www.syncfusion.com/support/kb/grid/Default.aspx?ToDo=view&questId=321

However, I still get a messagebox displayed e.g. "Column 'Code' does not allow nulls" and don't see an error icon for the row.
I've tried handling the CurrentCellErrorMessage event and setting e.cancel=true however this doesn't fix it.

I'd just like to show an error icon for the row, no messagebox. When the user hovers over the icon they should see the error message.

what am i missing?

Hi Richard,

The grid does not throw this exception(not null), and so does not really know what column caused it. It is your datasource that is throwing this exception. If you want to customize this from a grid event, try handling the ValiateFailed event, and in your handler set grid.CurrentCell.ErrorMessage. Below is a code snippet

this.gridDataBoundGrid1.ValidateFailed += new GridValidateFailedEventHandler(gridDataBoundGrid1_ValidateFailed);
void gridDataBoundGrid1_ValidateFailed(object sender, GridValidateFailedEventArgs e)
{
this.gridDataBoundGrid1.CurrentCell.ErrorMessage = string.Empty;
e.Handled = true;
}

Best regards,
Haneef
