How to replace a function in the GridFormulaEngine library in WinForms GridControl?

Platform: WinForms |
Control: GridControl
Tags: formula

Add and remove function

Refer to the following steps to replace a function in the GridFormulaEngine Library.

  1. To remove a function, use the RemoveFunction method in the GridFormulaEngine class.

C#

//Remove the SUM function
engine.RemoveFunction("SUM");

 

VB

'Remove the SUM function
engine.RemoveFunction("SUM")
  1. To add a function, use the AddFunction method in the GridFormulaEngine class.

C#

//Add the SUM Function
engine.AddFunction("SUM",new GridFormulaEngine.LibraryFunction(computeMySUM));
gridControl1[3,3].Text = "= SUM(100+700)";
