Selected rows cols info

[Qingde Shi]

Hi,

I am wondering if there is an existing example or somebody can point a direction about how to achieve the following.

Basically, I want to show selected number of rows and cols like "5R x 6C" in a popup while user is selecting cells using mouse. similar to selection in excel, but the info is in a popup.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Q,

One way you can do this by using the Model.SelectionChanging event of the grid and display selected cell information using the e.Range.Info property. Below are the codes that shows this task.

//Property of the Form1 class
private Label SelectedRangelabelText = null;

//Form Load event.
SelectedRangelabelText = new Label();
this.Controls.Add(SelectedRangelabelText);
this.gridControl1.Model.SelectionChanging += new GridSelectionChangingEventHandler(Model_SelectionChanging);

void Model_SelectionChanging(object sender, GridSelectionChangingEventArgs e)
{
Point pt = this.gridControl1.PointToClient(Control.MousePosition);
pt.Offset(35, 20);
SelectedRangelabelText.Location = pt;// e.OldRanges.ActiveRange;
SelectedRangelabelText.BringToFront();
if (e.Range != null)
{
SelectedRangelabelText.Text = e.Range.Info;
}
}

Best regards,
