Change CellEditor before edit mode

[Rogério]

Hello,

I'm using GridView and I need to change CellEditor for each cell! I could have different CellEditor on the same column!
My ideia was to change CellEditor when changing to edit mode.

Could you tell me what's the best way to do it?

Thanks.

Hi Rogério,

Unfortunately cell editor is connected to the GridViewDataColumn object, it means that every cell from a column will have same editor.

As a workaround you can make your custom editor to act different depending from data (as value).
I'm attaching a running example as a reference how to create custom CellStyle with custom ComboBox editor which allows showing some lookup data.

Hi,

Thanks for the quick reply and sample application! Your proposed workaround could be a solution for now, but it would be very helpful if you could provide, on future releases, the possibility to change cell editor before edit mode.

Hello Rogério,

Thank you for the valuable feedback.

This indeed is a good idea and we of course will consider providing such functionality for future releases.

Hello again,

I'm trying to implement some custom GridViewCellEditors but I'm having some problem after defining more then one!

I've implemented two custom editors. Following your example, when I try to access EditorElement on OnApplyTemplate override I always get a null value except for the first editor!!

I've defined the respective style on Generic.xaml!

Can you help me on this?

Thanks.
