Show error provider icon in cell

When you want to suppress the error message, you can disable the ShowErrorMessageBox property of the current cell.

C#

//This property shows/hides the error icon.
this.gridGroupingControl1.TableControl.CurrentCell.ShowErrorIcon = true;
//Disabling this property hides the error message box.
this.gridGroupingControl1.TableControl.CurrentCell.ShowErrorMessageBox = false;

VB

'This property shows/hides the error icon.
Me.gridGroupingControl1.TableControl.CurrentCell.ShowErrorIcon = True
'Disabling this property hides the error message box.
Me.gridGroupingControl1.TableControl.CurrentCell.ShowErrorMessageBox = False

After applying the properties, the grid is displayed as follows.

This does not work:

  gridControl1.CurrentCell.MoveTo(3, 4);
  gridControl1.CurrentCell.BeginEdit();
  gridControl1[3, 4].CellValue = "ABC";
  gridControl1.CurrentCell.ShowErrorIcon = true;

Hi Paul,

Thank you for contacting Syncfusion support.

We have checked your query “ShowErrorIcon does not work” at our end. We would like to let you know that the ErrorIcon will appear in the cell when it displays the error icon in the current cell to indicate that an error has occurred. It does not display the icon if there is no validation. We have prepared the simple sample to show the ErrorIcon and disable the ErrorMessageBox in CurrentCellErrorMessage event handler. Please refer the following documentation and sample for your reference.
