Methods

CanSelectFormulaRange(String)

Determines whether the formula range selection happens or not.

Declaration

protected virtual bool CanSelectFormulaRange(string renderedText)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
System.String	renderedText	Text in the current range.

Returns

Type	Description
System.Boolean	True if the formula range is selection was successful;otherwise, False.

Remarks

Dispose()

Declaration

public virtual void Dispose()

Dispose(Boolean)

Declaration

protected virtual void Dispose(bool disposing)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
System.Boolean	disposing

End()

Below method is used to End the RangeSelection

Declaration

public string End()

Returns

Type	Description
System.String	String value ie. Range Selection Value

Remarks

The CurrentCellRendererElement value is copied temporarirly before clearing the values and it is returned

HandleKeyDown(KeyRoutedEventArgs)

Handles the key down operations in SfSpreadsheet.

Declaration

protected virtual bool HandleKeyDown(KeyRoutedEventArgs e)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
Windows.UI.Xaml.Input.KeyRoutedEventArgs	e	An System.Windows.Input.KeyEventArgs that contains the event data.

Returns

Type	Description
System.Boolean	True or False.

Remarks

Invoked when the key is pressed while the SfSpreadsheet has its focus and handles the key navigations/operations for the selected formula ranges.

HandlePointerOperations(GridPointerEventArgs, RowColumnIndex)

Handles the mouse pointer operations in SfSpreadsheet

Declaration

protected virtual bool HandlePointerOperations(GridPointerEventArgs args, RowColumnIndex rowcolIndex)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
GridPointerEventArgs	args	An GridPointerEventArgs that contains the event data.
RowColumnIndex	rowcolIndex	The row and column index where the pointer is positioned

Returns

Type	Description
System.Boolean	True or False

Remarks

Based on the one of the enumeration PointerOperation values, corresponding pointer operation is performed in SfSpreadsheet

OnPointerMoved(PointerRoutedEventArgs, RowColumnIndex)

Invoked when the mouse pointer is moved while the SfSpreadsheet has its focus.

Declaration

protected virtual bool OnPointerMoved(PointerRoutedEventArgs e, RowColumnIndex rowColIndex)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
Windows.UI.Xaml.Input.PointerRoutedEventArgs	e	An System.Windows.Input.MouseEventArgs that contains the event data.
RowColumnIndex	rowColIndex	The row and column index where the mouse pointer is positioned.

Returns

Type	Description
System.Boolean	True or False.

Remarks

The mouse interactions are received, processed, and managed as pointer input in SfSpreadsheet. Hence whenever the mouse moves over an element's bounds, even if no mouse button is pressed at the time also invokes this function which determines the action to be performed in SpreadsheetGrid with the formula range.

OnPointerPressed(PointerRoutedEventArgs, RowColumnIndex)

Invoked when the mouse pointer is pressed while the SfSpreadsheet has its focus.

Declaration

protected virtual bool OnPointerPressed(PointerRoutedEventArgs e, RowColumnIndex rowColIndex)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
Windows.UI.Xaml.Input.PointerRoutedEventArgs	e	An System.Windows.Input.MouseEventArgs that contains the event data.
RowColumnIndex	rowColIndex	The row and column index where the mouse pointer is pressed.

Returns

Type	Description
System.Boolean	True or False.

Remarks

The mouse interactions are received, processed, and managed as pointer input in SfSpreadsheet.Clicking on any of the mouse buttons(left,wheel,right) invokes this function which determines the action to be performed in SpreadsheetGrid with the formula range.

OnPointerReleased(PointerRoutedEventArgs, RowColumnIndex)

Invoked when the mouse pointer is released while the SfSpreadsheet has its focus.

Declaration

protected virtual bool OnPointerReleased(PointerRoutedEventArgs e, RowColumnIndex rowColIndex)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
Windows.UI.Xaml.Input.PointerRoutedEventArgs	e	An System.Windows.Input.MouseEventArgs that contains the event data.
RowColumnIndex	rowColIndex	The row and column index where the mouse pointer is positioned.

Returns

Type	Description
System.Boolean	True or False

Remarks

The mouse interactions are received, processed, and managed as pointer input in SfSpreadsheet. Invoked only when that same mouse button is released (no other button can be associated with the pointer until this event is complete).

ProcessHeaderSelection(RowColumnIndex)

Updates the formula range for the selection in header cells based on the given row and column index of SfSpreadsheet.

Declaration

protected virtual void ProcessHeaderSelection(RowColumnIndex rowColIndex)

Parameters
