This interface is typically used to capture the BeginEdit, EndEdit, and CancelEdit semantics of a DataRowView.

The following sample provides a simple implementation of the IEditableObject interface. The Customer class stores customer information and can be used as a collection for a customer database. This sample assumes that you have used the CustomerList class that can be found in sample in the IBindingList class.


   public ref class Customer: public IEditableObject
   {
   private:
      ref struct CustomerData
      {
      internal:
         String^ id;
         String^ firstName;
         String^ lastName;
      };

   internal:
      CustomersList^ parent;
      CustomerData^ custData;
      CustomerData^ backupData;
      bool inTxn;

      // Implements IEditableObject
   public:
      virtual void BeginEdit()
      {
         Console::WriteLine( "Start BeginEdit" );
         if (  !inTxn )
         {
            this->backupData = custData;
            inTxn = true;
            Console::WriteLine( "BeginEdit - {0}", this->backupData->lastName );
         }

         Console::WriteLine( "End BeginEdit" );
      }

      virtual void CancelEdit()
      {
         Console::WriteLine( "Start CancelEdit" );
         if ( inTxn )
         {
            this->custData = backupData;
            inTxn = false;
            Console::WriteLine( "CancelEdit - {0}", this->custData->lastName );
         }

         Console::WriteLine( "End CancelEdit" );
      }

      virtual void EndEdit()
      {
         Console::WriteLine( "Start EndEdit{0}{1}", this->custData->id, this->custData->lastName );
         if ( inTxn )
         {
            backupData = gcnew CustomerData;
            inTxn = false;
            Console::WriteLine( "Done EndEdit - {0}{1}", this->custData->id, this->custData->lastName );
