We have CellBeginEdit and CellEndEdit. Could we have a CellCancelEdit event as well?
When user editing value in a cell, usually the validation process usually taken in the CellValidating event. In the CellValidating event, I display validation error messages on the status bar and with a beep. When the user pressed the Escape key to cancel the edit mode, I would like to clear out any validation error on the status bar. Right now, there is no easy way to detect when the user cancel the edit mode.
One solution would be keytrapped the grid and detect when the ESC key is pressed together with a boolean variable to keep track of when user entered edit mode. But this is ugly and not elegant at all :)

Hello,
Sorry, there is no notification for cancelled edit operation. But that why do you need to clear validation errors on just escape, you can just add the validation errors in the CellFormatting event, that way when the user cancels the edit operation, the cell formatting event will fire and you can change the messages in the statusbar from there.
Hope this helps, if you have any other questions or comments, please let me know,
Best Regards,
