DoubleEdit

[Andrew Snyder]

I am try to set a cell to be a double edit box showing only 2 decimal places, but when i begin to edit i would like the end user to enter more than 2 decimal places. Trying to change the cell back to a TextBox seem to cause a crash. Is there a way to achieve this behavior with the DoubleEdit?

//causes crash expecting DoubleEdit
void Model_QueryCellInfo(object sender, GridQueryCellInfoEventArgs e)
{
if (e.Cell == CurrentCell.CellRowColumnIndex)
{
Model[e.Cell.RowIndex, e.Cell.ColumnIndex].CellType = "TextBox";
}
else
{
Model[e.Cell.RowIndex, e.Cell.ColumnIndex].CellType = "DoubleEdit";
Model[e.Cell.RowIndex, e.Cell.ColumnIndex].NumberFormat = new NumberFormatInfo { NumberGroupSeparator = ",", NumberDecimalSeparator = ".", NumberDecimalDigits = 2 };
}
e.Style.CellValue = _dataSource[e.Cell.RowIndex, e.Cell.ColumnIndex];
}


//remains a DoubleEdit
void Model_QueryCellInfo(object sender, GridQueryCellInfoEventArgs e)
{
if (e.Cell == CurrentCell.CellRowColumnIndex && CurrentCell.IsInBeginEdit)
{
Model[e.Cell.RowIndex, e.Cell.ColumnIndex].CellType = "TextBox";
}
else
{
Model[e.Cell.RowIndex, e.Cell.ColumnIndex].CellType = "DoubleEdit";
Model[e.Cell.RowIndex, e.Cell.ColumnIndex].NumberFormat = new NumberFormatInfo { NumberGroupSeparator = ",", NumberDecimalSeparator = ".", NumberDecimalDigits = 2 };
}
e.Style.CellValue = _dataSource[e.Cell.RowIndex, e.Cell.ColumnIndex];
}

Hi Andrew,

The DoubleEdit works with the NumberFormat that you set, so if your NumberFormat says it has "3" decimal digits, you simply set the NumberFormat.NumberDecimalDigits property, and it should automatically get applied to the DoubleEdit cell type.

Regarding the crash, Can you please post the Stack trace that you get, this should help discover the cause of the issue.

Please let me know if you want any more details.

The crash happens when i try to get into edit mode.

As for the second example why can i not change the box back to a text box when i am going into edit mode?

if (e.Cell == CurrentCell.CellRowColumnIndex && CurrentCell.IsInBeginEdit)
{
Model[e.Cell.RowIndex, e.Cell.ColumnIndex].CellType = "TextBox";
}

Hi Andrew,

Thanks for the details provided. The Grid maintains a CurrentCell state internally so that everything is in sync. When you try to change the active cell's CellType, that exception gets thrown. Best way would be to set change the active cell's CellType after you call this method,

this.grid.CurrentCell.Deactivate();

This method will reset the CurrentCell's state and the exception will not be thrown. Le t me know if this helps you out.

I have tried:
CurrentCell.Deactivate();
Model[e.Cell.RowIndex, e.Cell.ColumnIndex].CellType = "TextBox";

but then an exception is thrown when i try to begin editing:
Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

so i then tried

CurrentCell.Deactivate();
Model[e.Cell.RowIndex, e.Cell.ColumnIndex].CellType = "TextBox";
CurrentCell.Activate(e.Cell, new GridActivateCurrentCellOptions(GridSetCurrentCellOptions.ForceRefresh));

but the value does not appear in the text box and it will not let me edit

Hi Andrew,

The exceptions are getting thrown because of improper typing at runtime. Changing the CellType at runtime will actually cause some abnormal behavior in the work flow of the grid, and so it is not advisable to do that.

As per your initial requirements, I have a sample prepared that will have NumberDecimalDigits set to 2 before showing the original values, and uses a TextBox control. Since the DoubleEdit control doesn't have a feature to allow any number of decimal spaces, because it uses the NumberFormatInfo, I guess using a text box would be easy. But, doing this will actually remove all the functionalities that the DoubleEdit provides.

More appropriate would be that you set some max decimal digits for the DoubleEdit and override the OnRender method (as in the sample) and simply render out the result value with '2' decimal digits.

Please check it out and let me know if that helps you out.
