Parameters

Examples

The following example uses the Edit method to change the text of a clicked cell in the DataGrid control.

public ref class MyGridColumn: public DataGridTextBoxColumn
{
public:
   void EditCol( CurrencyManager^ cm, int rowNum, Rectangle cellRect, bool readOnly, String^ myString, bool isVisible )
   {
      this->Edit( cm, rowNum, cellRect, readOnly, myString, isVisible );
   }

};

public ref class Form1: public Form
{
protected:
   DataGrid^ dataGrid1;
   DataSet^ myDataSet;
private:
   void dataGrid1_MouseDown( Object^ sender, MouseEventArgs^ e )
   {
      
      // Use the HitTest method to get a HitTestInfo object.
      DataGrid::HitTestInfo ^ hi;
      DataGrid^ grid = dynamic_cast<DataGrid^>(sender);
      hi = grid->HitTest( e->X, e->Y );
      
      // Test if the clicked area was a cell.
      if ( hi->Type == DataGrid::HitTestType::Cell )
      {
         
         // If it's a cell, get the GridTable and CurrencyManager of the
         // clicked table.         
         DataGridTableStyle^ dgt = dataGrid1->TableStyles[ 0 ];
         CurrencyManager^ cm = dynamic_cast<CurrencyManager^>(this->BindingContext[ myDataSet->Tables[ dgt->MappingName ] ]);
         
         // Get the Rectangle of the clicked cell.
         Rectangle cellRect = grid->GetCellBounds( hi->Row, hi->Column );

Public Class MyGridColumn
Inherits DataGridTextBoxColumn
   Public Sub EditCol(cm As CurrencyManager , rowNum As integer , _
   cellRect As Rectangle , bReadOnly As Boolean , _
   myString As String , isVisible As Boolean )
      me.Edit(cm, rowNum, cellRect, bReadOnly, myString, isVisible)
   End Sub
End Class

Remarks

The Edit sites a TextBox control on the grid at the location of the cell being edited. The method is called by the DataGrid class's BeginEdit method when an editing operation is about to begin.
