How to identify a record in WinForms GridGroupingControl?
Identify a record
There are several ways to identify a record in the WinForms GridGroupingControl. To identify the record from the GridStyleInfo class, you can use the GridTableCellStyleInfoIdentity. GridTableCellStyleInfoIdentity defines the inheritance of the style properties for each element in the Grid. Each GridStyleInfo object has a CellIdentity of its own that contains the record for that particular object. This record can be extracted with the help of the DisplayElement.GetRecord() method from that object.
C#
GridStyleInfo style = this.gridGroupingControl1.TableControl.GetViewStyleInfo(8, 3);
GridTableCellStyleInfoIdentity id = style.CellIdentity as GridTableCellStyleInfoIdentity;
Record record;
if(id.DisplayElement.IsRecord())
{
record = id.DisplayElement.GetRecord();
MessageBox.Show(record.Info, "5th Record Values");
}
VB
Dim style As GridStyleInfo = Me.gridGroupingControl1.TableControl.GetViewStyleInfo(8, 3) Dim id As GridTableCellStyleInfoIdentity = TryCast(style.CellIdentity, GridTableCellStyleInfoIdentity) Dim record As Record If id.DisplayElement.IsRecord() Then record = id.DisplayElement.GetRecord() MessageBox.Show(record.Info, "5th Record Values") End If
