Syntax
public class GridCurrentCell : GridSubComponent, IDisposable
Remarks

Use the CurrentCell property of the GridControlBase class to get access to the GridCurrentCell instance associated with a grid.

The GridCurrentCell class raises events in the associated grid to give you a chance to adjust the current cell's behavior at any stage.

Examples

The following example shows how you can customize the behavior of the current cell and highlight the whole row of the current cell instead of just the current cell itself:

        /// Current cell will be moving from one position to another.
        protected override void OnCurrentCellMoving(GridCurrentCellMovingEventArgs e)
        {
            e.Options |= GridSetCurrentCellOptions.BeginEndUpdate;
            // Instead of GridSetCurrentCellOptions.BeginEndUpdate we could also
            // sandwich the call in a Begin/EndUpdate pair ourselves ...
            //BeginUpdate(BeginUpdateOptions.InvalidateAndScroll);
        }
        /// Completes a current cell's MoveTo operation indicating success.
        protected override void OnCurrentCellMoved(GridCurrentCellMovedEventArgs e)
        {
            base.OnCurrentCellMoved(e);
            //EndUpdate();
        }
        /// Completes a current cell's MoveTo operation indicating failure.
        protected override void OnCurrentCellMoveFailed(GridCurrentCellMoveFailedEventArgs e)
        {
            base.OnCurrentCellMoveFailed(e);
            //EndUpdate();
        }
        /// Highlight the current row.
        protected override void OnPrepareViewStyleInfo(GridPrepareViewStyleInfoEventArgs e)
        {
            if (e.RowIndex > this.Model.Rows.HeaderCount && e.ColIndex > this.Model.Cols.HeaderCount
                && CurrentCell.HasCurrentCellAt(e.RowIndex))
            {
                e.Style.Interior = new BrushInfo(SystemColors.Highlight);
                e.Style.TextColor = SystemColors.HighlightText;
                e.Style.Font.Bold = true;
            }
            base.OnPrepareViewStyleInfo(e);
        }
        /// Refresh the whole row for the old position of the current cell when it is moved to
        /// a new row or when current cell is deactivated stand-alone.
        protected override void OnCurrentCellDeactivated(GridCurrentCellDeactivatedEventArgs e)
        {
            // Check if Deactivate is called stand-alone or called from MoveTo and row is moving.
            if (!CurrentCell.IsInMoveTo || CurrentCell.MoveToRowIndex != CurrentCell.MoveFromRowIndex)
            {
                RefreshRange(GridRangeInfo.Row(e.RowIndex), GridRangeOptions.MergeAllSpannedCells);
            }
            base.OnCurrentCellDeactivated(e);
        }
        /// Refresh the whole row for the new current cell position when the current cell is moved
        /// to a new row or when current cell is activated stand-alone (and there was no activate current cell).
        protected override void OnCurrentCellActivated(EventArgs e)
        {
            // Check if Activate is called stand-alone or called from MoveTo and row is moving
            base.OnCurrentCellActivated(e);
            if (!CurrentCell.IsInMoveTo || CurrentCell.MoveToRowIndex != CurrentCell.MoveFromRowIndex
                || !CurrentCell.MoveFromActiveState)
            {
                RefreshRange(GridRangeInfo.Row(CurrentCell.RowIndex), GridRangeOptions.MergeAllSpannedCells);
            }
        }

Methods

Activate(Int32, Int32)

Activates the current cell at the specified position.

Declaration
public bool Activate(int rowIndex, int colIndex)
Parameters
Type Name Description
System.Int32 rowIndex

The row index.
System.Int32 colIndex

The column index.
Returns
Type Description
System.Boolean

True if activating the current cell was successful; False otherwise.
Remarks

Activate(Int32, Int32) raises a cancelable CurrentCellActivating event. If the event handler set the System.ComponentModel.CancelEventArgs.Cancel flag of the System.ComponentModel.CancelEventArgs object, the method will return. CurrentCellActivating gives you also the chance to modify the parameters of the Activate(Int32, Int32) function call. You can modify the row and column index and the options.

Next, it calls the cell renderer's OnActivating(Int32, Int32) before it stores internally the new row and column index and marks the cell as activated.

Then it invalidates the screen area for the specified cell and calls the cell renderer's OnInitialize(Int32, Int32) method.

At last, a CurrentCellActivated event is raised which completes this operation.

If an exception occurred or if a event handler requested to cancel the operation, Activate(Int32, Int32) will instead close up the operation with a CurrentCellActivateFailed event.

This ensures that you will get guaranteed either a CurrentCellActivated or CurrentCellActivateFailed event after a CurrentCellActivating event.

Activate(Int32, Int32, GridSetCurrentCellOptions)

Activates the current cell at the specified position.

Declaration
public bool Activate(int rowIndex, int colIndex, GridSetCurrentCellOptions options)
Parameters
Type Name Description
System.Int32 rowIndex

The row index.
System.Int32 colIndex

The column index.
GridSetCurrentCellOptions options

A GridSetCurrentCellOptions value that details options how to activate the current cell. You can specify if the associated control should get focus, if range selection should be ignored and more.
Returns
Type Description
System.Boolean

True if activating the current cell was successful; False otherwise.

AdjustRowColIfCoveredCell(ref Int32, ref Int32)

Adjusts the row index and column index if the cell belongs to a covered range. In that case, the top left cell coordinates are returned.

Declaration
public void AdjustRowColIfCoveredCell(ref int rowIndex, ref int colIndex)
Parameters
Type Name Description
System.Int32 rowIndex

The row index.
System.Int32 colIndex

The column index.
Examples

This example shows how to adjust the row index and column index, if it is covered.

//Adjust the row and column index if it is covered cell.
int row = this.gridControl1.CurrentCell.RowIndex;
int col = this.gridControl1.CurrentCell.ColIndex;
this.gridControl1.CurrentCell.AdjustRowColIfCoveredCell(ref row, ref col);
'Adjust the row and column if it is covered cell.
 Dim row As Integer = Me.gridControl1.CurrentCell.RowIndex
 Dim col As Integer = Me.gridControl1.CurrentCell.ColIndex
 Me.gridControl1.CurrentCell.AdjustRowColIfCoveredCell(row, col)

BeginEdit()

Starts editing mode for the current cell.

Declaration
public bool BeginEdit()
Returns
Type Description
System.Boolean

True if current cell supports editing; False otherwise.
Remarks

You check IsEditing to query if the current cell is in editing mode.

The method calls the cell renderer's OnBeginEdit() method and thereby requests that current cell sets shows and focus to an associated System.Windows.Forms.Control. The text box cell for example, will make its TextBox visible and set the focus.

Also, the current cell will be scrolled into view.

BeginEdit(Boolean)

Starts editing mode for the current cell and allows setting the focus to the cell editor.

Declaration
public bool BeginEdit(bool focusRenderer)
Parameters
Type Name Description
System.Boolean focusRenderer

Specifies if focus can be set to the cell editor.
Returns
Type Description
System.Boolean

True ifediting can proceed; False if it is aborted.

CancelEdit()

Cancels editing for the current cell and discards any changes.

Declaration
public void CancelEdit()
Remarks

Close any open drop-down windows.

If the current cell was modified, the method calls RejectChanges() which triggers a CurrentCellRejectedChanges event.

After the cell renderer has been asked to stop editing, a CurrentCellEditingComplete event is raised.

CloseDropDown(PopupCloseType)

Closes the drop-down window.

Declaration
public void CloseDropDown(PopupCloseType reason)
Parameters
Type Name Description
PopupCloseType reason

The reason lets you specify if the popup is closed because your application is being deactivated or because the user clicked in the grid and changes in the current cell should be confirmed.
Remarks

Calls the renderer's OnCloseDropDown(PopupCloseType) method.

ConfirmChanges()

Confirms any pending changes for the current cell and closes any open drop-down windows.

Declaration
public bool ConfirmChanges()
Returns
Type Description
System.Boolean

True if changes could be saved or if current cell was not modified; False if saving the changes failed.
Remarks

If the current cell was modified, the method raises a CurrentCellValidating event and if the contents are valid the cell renderers OnSaveChanges() are called to save the changes.

After changes have been successfully confirmed to the grid, a CurrentCellAcceptedChanges event is raised.

ConfirmChanges(Boolean)

Confirms any pending changes for the current cell.

Declaration
public bool ConfirmChanges(bool closeDropDown)
Parameters
Type Name Description
System.Boolean closeDropDown

Specifies where any open drop-down windows should be closed.
Returns
Type Description
System.Boolean

True if changes could be saved or if current cell was not modified; False if saving the changes failed.

Deactivate(Boolean)

Deactivates the current cell and confirms or rejects changes made to the current cell.

Declaration
public bool Deactivate(bool discardChanges)
Parameters
Type Name Description
System.Boolean discardChanges

True if changes can be discarded; False otherwise.
Returns
Type Description
System.Boolean

True if current cell can be deactivated; False otherwise.
Remarks

Deactivate(Boolean) raises a cancelable CurrentCellDeactivating event. If the event handler set the System.ComponentModel.CancelEventArgs.Cancel flag of the System.ComponentModel.CancelEventArgs object, the method will return.

Next, it checks if the cell is modified and depending on the value of the discardChanges parameter, it tries to confirm changes by calling ConfirmChanges() or discarding changes by calling RejectChanges(). Also, any open drop-down windows will be closed at this time.

Above method calls will raise CurrentCellValidating then CurrentCellValidated and CurrentCellAcceptedChanges or CurrentCellRejectedChanges events followed by a CurrentCellEditingComplete event if the cell was in editing mode.

After the changes have been saved or canceled, the cell area is invalidated and a CurrentCellDeactivated event is raised which completes this operation.

If an exception occurred or if a event handler requested to cancel the operation, Deactivate(Boolean) will instead close the operation with a CurrentCellDeactivateFailed event.

This ensures that you will get guaranteed either a CurrentCellDeactivated or CurrentCellDeactivateFailed event after a CurrentCellDeactivating event.

When current cell has been deactivated, the HasCurrentCell property will be false indicating the grid has no active current cell at this time.

DisplayWarningText(String)

Displays the warning text.Used internally.

Declaration
public void DisplayWarningText(string message)
Parameters
Type Name Description
System.String message

Dispose(Boolean)

Declaration
public void EndEdit()
Remarks

Close any open drop-down windows.

If the current cell was modified, the method tries to confirm changes by calling ConfirmChanges(). If the changes can not be confirmed an exception is shown with ErrorMessage as exception text.

If changes are confirmed, a CurrentCellEditingComplete event is raised.

Type Description

Remarks

Moving the current cell is a two step process. In the first step, the grid deactivates the existing current cell, in the second step the grid activates the new current cell.

All parameters that were specified in this method call will be saved. This allows event handler to have better background knowledge why certain events were raised.

You can determine if Deactivate(Boolean) was called stand-alone or as result of a MoveTo(Int32, Int32, GridSetCurrentCellOptions, Boolean) call by checking the IsInMoveTo property.

You can find out about the current cell's position by querying the RowIndex and ColIndex properties of the CurrentCell object in GridControlBase.

After saving parameter information MoveTo(Int32, Int32, GridSetCurrentCellOptions, Boolean) raises a cancelable CurrentCellMoving event. If the event handler set the System.ComponentModel.CancelEventArgs.Cancel flag of the GridCurrentCellMovingEventArgs object, the method will return immediately. CurrentCellMoving gives you the chance to modify the parameters of the MoveTo(Int32, Int32, GridSetCurrentCellOptions, Boolean) function call. You can modify the row and column index and the options.

The next step is to deactivate the current cell. See Deactivate(Boolean) for a detailed overview what events will get raised from Deactivate(Boolean).

After the cell has been deactivated, the current cell will be activated at the new position. See the Activate(Int32, Int32) method for information which events are raised. If the NoActivate option is specified no current cell will be activated.

You can sandwich the deactivation and activation process with a BeginUpdate, EndUpdate call pair if you specify the BeginEndUpdate option.

At last, a CurrentCellMoved event is raised which completes this operation.

If an exception occurred or if an event handler requested to cancel the operation, MoveTo(Int32, Int32, GridSetCurrentCellOptions, Boolean) will instead close up the operation with a CurrentCellMoveFailed event.

This ensures that you will be guaranteed either a CurrentCellMoved or CurrentCellMoveFailed event after a CurrentCellMoving event.
