DataGridColumn.PrepareCellForEdit Method

Silverlight

Other Versions

When overridden in a derived class, called when a cell in the column enters editing mode.

Namespace: System.Windows.Controls
Assembly: System.Windows.Controls.Data (in System.Windows.Controls.Data.dll)

Syntax

Copy

protected abstract Object PrepareCellForEdit(
	FrameworkElement editingElement,
	RoutedEventArgs editingEventArgs
)

Parameters

editingElement: Type: System.Windows.FrameworkElement
The element that the column displays for a cell in editing mode.

editingEventArgs: Type: System.Windows.RoutedEventArgs
Information about the user gesture that is causing a cell to enter editing mode.

Return Value

Type: System.Object
The unedited value.

Remarks

The DataGrid control calls the PrepareCellForEdit method when a cell in a column derived from DataGridColumn enters editing mode. Derived column types override this method to respond to the user gesture indicated by editingEventArgs and return the current value prior to editing.

To respond to editing mode for cells in columns derived from DataGridTemplateColumn, handle the DataGrid.PreparingCellForEdit event.
