Syntax
public class GridEngineFactoryBase
Remarks

The virtual GridGroupingControl.CreateEngine function by default calls GridEngineFactory.CreateEngine to create an engine object.

There are multiple alternatives that let you customize the engine object that is used within a GridGroupingControl.

  • A global solution for all controls in your app is to derive a class from GridEngineFactoryBase, override CreateEngine, and assign an instance of the derived GridEngineFactoryBase object to GridEngineFactory.Factory.
  • Instantiate manually a GridEngine object and call the constructor of GridGroupingControl, passing in the engine object as parameter.
  • Derive GridGroupingControl and override the virtual CreateEngine method.

In your derived engine class, you can then further customize classes that are created. The GridEngine class contains virtual factory methods such as CreateTableControl(GridTableModel) or CreateTable(TableDescriptor, Table) that are called to create objects that belong to a GridGroupingControl and its engine elements.

Constructors

GridEngineFactoryBase()

Initializes a new instance of the GridEngineFactoryBase class.

Declaration
public GridEngineFactoryBase()

GridEngineFactoryBase(Boolean)

Initializes a GridEngineFactoryBase and optionally marks it as "Default".

Declaration
public GridEngineFactoryBase(bool isDefault)
Parameters
Type Name Description
System.Boolean isDefault

True if this engine should be marked as default.

Properties

IsDefault

Gets the value as True when this factory has been auto-initialized.

Declaration
public virtual bool IsDefault { get; }
Property Value
Type
System.Boolean

Methods

CreateEngine()

Override this method if you would like to have a derived engine object. The method is called from CreateEngine() to create a default engine object when no engine objects were manually instantiated. See also the discussion in GridEngineFactory.

Declaration
public virtual GridEngine CreateEngine()
Returns
Type Description
GridEngine

The new grid engine.
