GridViewCancelEditEventHandler Delegate

Definition

Represents the method that handles the RowCancelingEdit event of a GridView control.

public delegate void GridViewCancelEditEventHandler(System::Object ^ sender, GridViewCancelEditEventArgs ^ e);
public delegate void GridViewCancelEditEventHandler(object sender, GridViewCancelEditEventArgs e);
type GridViewCancelEditEventHandler = delegate of obj * GridViewCancelEditEventArgs -> unit
Public Delegate Sub GridViewCancelEditEventHandler(sender As Object, e As GridViewCancelEditEventArgs)

Parameters

sender
Object

The source of the event.

e
GridViewCancelEditEventArgs

A GridViewCancelEditEventArgs object that contains the event data.

Examples

The following example demonstrates how to programmatically add a GridViewCancelEditEventHandler delegate to the RowCancelingEdit event of a GridView control.

Remarks

The RowCancelingEdit event is raised when the Cancel button of a row in edit mode is clicked, but before the row exits edit mode. This allows you to provide an event-handling method that performs a custom routine, such as stopping the cancel operation if it would put the row in an undesired state, whenever this event occurs.

When you create a GridViewCancelEditEventHandler delegate, you identify the method that will handle the event. To associate the event with your event handler, add an instance of the delegate to the event. The event handler is called whenever the event occurs, unless you remove the delegate. For more information about event-handler delegates, see Handling and Raising Events.
